## Description

The Joy of Screws is an advertisement available on Day 153 of Not For Broadcast. It comes in a blue VHS tape with the Pleasure Corp logo on it.

The advertisement begins with a voiceover claiming, from the iconic A2 Stainless Steel Pozidrive Wood Screw to the M1 2mm Slotted Countersunk Screw, that The Joy of Screws is the viewer's key to a world of sticky fixes. Both individual screws are shown onscreen before the voiceover continues, telling the viewer to start their collection today and celebrate the nation's most well-known and best-loved pieces of hardware with their copy of The Joy of Screws.

A hand is shown opening the 'The Joy of Screws' magazine, as the voiceover states that the viewer will add another exclusive fastener to their collection weekly. They proceed to list off examples of said exclusive fasteners, showing them onscreen when mentioned, such as the Flat Head Self-Flanging Bump Screw, the 4mm Hexaflex Mushroom Bolt, and the Self-Locking Long-Life Round Head Roofing Tack, exclaiming that they're only the beginning.

The voiceover continues, listing off the Pan-Philip Slotted-Head Washer Washing Nut, the M25 3mm Finishing Pin, Earl, the Cast Iron Hexagonal Fixing Screw, and many more. They state that every week, alongside the viewer's ironmongery, they'll get an in-depth companion magazine charting the highs and lows of DIY history - from the Canterbury Nut Shortage to the Socket Screw Riots of '29, adding on that the detailed guide will bring to life some of the viewer's favorite metal-working moments.

They tell the viewer that, if they start today, they'll send the first eight editions with no postage or packing. The voiceover repeats their prior statement, emphasizing the lack of postage and packing with text on-screen; nails and letters visible in the background being dropped onto the ground through a door's mail slot. The voiceover continues, mentioning that the viewer will also receive an exclusive little bit of drill bit absolutely free, proceeding to ask them what they're waiting for and demanding that they start today, for they'll receive a screwdriver handle for week ten.

The Joy of Screws magazine is then shown, with the voiceover claiming that it's the only complete collection of real, authentic, genuine reproduction screw replicas. Screws are then shown being dropped atop the magazine, as both the voiceover and white text at the bottom of the screen states that the collection is for display purposes only, and that the items are ornamental replicas and not for use with wood, metal, masonry, or any other physical surface. They add on that terms and conditions apply, and that the viewer should see issue 42 for details. The Joy of Screws magazine is shown for a final time as the music cuts out, red text onscreen informing the viewers that the magazine is available at all good news agents, and that they should start their collection today.
