Behind the scenes, Jenny, Jeremy and Megan are conversing. Cath applies makeup to Megan, who asks Jenny how it's going with Steve. Jenny replies with a question of her own, asking why all men are such pricks. Jeremy retorts asking if it went that well, and Jenny continues that Steve apparently has a complicated relationship with his faith. Megan laughs and says no, with Jeremy asking for clarification as to whether or not Steve chose his imaginary friend in the sky over Jenny. She replies that she doesn't know why she talks to him, with Jeremy commenting that she's probably just a really awful date.

Jenny then announces that there are 10 seconds left before the broadcast starts, turning back to Jeremy and telling him that, like she said, all of them are pricks. He asks her if her personality accidentally slipped out, and gets called a prick, with Jenny proceeding to count down to the start of the broadcast.

Jeremy and Megan finish the headlines by announcing that with the exclusive Prime-Ministerial interview coming up later, and their very own Patrick Bannon coming live from the first annual Sportsboard final, that the viewers won't want to miss a second of the night's National Nightly News.

### Title Sequence

The Day 153 title sequence starts with an analog clock advancing to 6:00 on a blue background. The words "National Nightly News" move across the screen as clips from prior broadcasts of the National Nightly News Team are shown.

Jeremy and Megan are then shown clinking mugs and smiling at the camera, as white text appears in the top left of the screen, saying "National Nightly News". The text is followed by more, although smaller, white text in the bottom left of the screen, saying "With Jeremy, Megan, and the News Team." All of the text then fades away.

#### Mr. Snugglehugs Played

In the studio, whilst the title sequence is being shown, if the Mr. Snugglehugs advert **was** played during Day 8, Jenny announces a 30-second break, with Megan asking where her make-up girl is. Jeremy looks at the ceiling in confusion, and asks if it's raining outside, continuing by saying he's sure he felt a drip. Jenny replies, telling him that she saw just a bit, as well as a man floating by on a massive boat. Megan once again calls for her make-up girl, calling her a useless fucking idiot.

Jeremy asks Jenny if the man she saw floating by had any pets, and she replies that he does, two of each. He then turns to Jenny, telling her that he seriously felt a drip. She announces that there are 10 seconds left in the break, turning to Jeremy and telling him that she'll have someone look into it, but for now, for him not to drown. She proceeds to count down to the end of the break as Megan waves off her make-up girl, telling her that she's too bloody late.

#### Mr. Snugglehugs Not Played

In the studio, whilst the title sequence is being shown, if the Mr. Snugglehugs advert **was not** played during Day 8: The Fallout, Jenny announces a 30-second break, with Megan looking up at the ceiling and telling Jeremy that she just felt a drip on her head.

She calls for her make-up, turning to Jenny and asking if it's raining. Jenny replies, saying that it's only raining in the city, and bloody lovely in suburbia. Megan retorts that it's never lovely in suburbia, with Jeremy adding on that it's true, and that suburbia being lovely is a lie they all tell themselves because they're so bored.

Jeremy comments that she grew up in the suburbs, with Jeremy replying that he assumed she'd grown up in the wild. She asks if the reason he thinks that is because she's so fierce, and he retorts that it's because he's watched her eat. Jenny announces that there 10 seconds left in the break, with Megan once again calling for make-up. Jenny, in response to Jeremy, comments that it's only slightly creepy, proceeding to count down to the end of the break as Megan waves off her make-up girl, telling her that she's too bloody late.

### Robyn Shorte Interview

#### Timothy Tadlock

##### Pre-Interview

If Mr. Snugglehugs **was** played during Day 8, Megan states that, after the Christmas horror caused by Mr Snugglehugs, they have have an exclusive interview with one of the victims. Jeremy adds on that the victim, poor seven year-old Timmy Tadlock, like so many of those affected by the Christmas bloodbath, has spent the last three months undergoing a series of reconstructive facial surgeries. Megan continues, saying that last week, Timmy spoke for the first time since the tragedy, and that tonight, he'll talk to them.

Jeremy says that before going to the interview, that the station would like to issue a full and frank apology for any part that they may have played in the tragedy. He continues, saying that they should never have advertised Mr. Snugglehugs, and that without the station's publicity, the sheer scale of the tragedy, with now upwards of eight thousand causalities, may have been averted.

The two of them continue, saying that on behalf of the National Nightly News team, they're sorry, and that in the future they will do better.

In the Tadlock Household, Robyn Shorte is doing vocal exercises, whilst Martin Tadlock is asking his wife, Marjorie, where the tweed he bought when they went to play croquet with the Jeffords was. The two of them bicker over it being in the cupboard, but while Martin goes to get it, Robyn calls him back in for the interview.

##### Post-Interview Remarks

Megan thanks Robyn, claiming that it's harrowing stuff, Jeremy adding on that there's also many questions to be answered by Sophia Rymmington in the coming days and months, asking how she'll manage to turn the crisis around. Megan then turns to him, asking what the warning signs are that a consumer should look out for when they're spotting a dangerous toy. He answers, stating that experts advise to always check for the new Advance mark, which he claims will guarantee a level of safety and quality.

Megan then requests a close-up of the National Nightly News mug on Camera Three, showcasing an example of the Advance mark. After she finishes showcasing the mark, Jeremy states that the government was praised in the wake of the scandal for their swift response in bringing in the set of stringent checks on new products. Megan mentions that it certainly is good to know that someone is watching out for their families, then informing the viewers that when they come back, Patrick Bannon will be live from the Sportsboard finals, and that they should stick around due to not wanting to miss it.

#### Somerset-Bentley

##### Pre-Interview

If Mr. Snugglehugs **was not** played during Day 8, Megan states that while Advance is certainly proving popular with the vast majority of the country, who've seen their wealth and standards of living increased considerably, that for some, the transitions have not been as pleasant.

Jeremy says that Megan is right, and that the formerly aristocratic members of their society have had to make major adjustments to come to terms with the new regime. Megan continues, informing the viewers that Robyn Shorte is in suburbia investigating rumours that those previously privileged people may be planning some kind of protest.

Outside the Somerset-Bentley Household, Robyn is asking someone off-screen if she would be able to get an espresso, thanking the person she's talking to and telling them to get the espresso as soon as possible. Whilst that conversation is occurring, Penelope Somerset-Bentley tells Wentworth Somerset-Bentley to tuck his shirt in, the two fixing each other's attire before Robyn tells the pair to get in position, directing them towards the camera.

##### Interview

Robyn Shorte thanks Megan, informing the viewers that she's in Moderate Hatchings to talk to Wentworth and Penelope Somerset-Bentley, adding on that they were relocated to the house seen behind her after Advance passed the Assets and Wealth Act on their first day in office. She turns to the pair, asking them how they're settling into their new lives.

Wentworth answers, stating that they, quite frankly, aren't settling in at all, as their neighbors are "wight wotters", Penelope adding on that they're simply untenable. She exclaims that her current predicament is as steaming as a Wednesday Hatch Basket with too much Spadding. Wentworth requests that Penelope steadies herself, eliciting an apology from her as Wentworth tells Robyn that she's under a lot of pressure, as she had to dress herself in the morning and still hasn't quite recovered.

Penelope utters an expletive due to remembering the traumatic occurrence, turning to lay her head on Wentworth's shoulder as Robyn exclaims that such must have been a shock. Wentworth exclaims that Penelope struggles with ribbons, and Robyn mentions that they've at least been rehoused in a nice big house. Penelope turns her head in disgust, stating that the "grubby little gadderspatch" only has one staircase, Wentworth adding on that the breakfast room and the dining room are in the same location. He demands that Robyn imagines such, having one's grub in only one room.

Robyn faces them, asking them what they'd say to the people who feel that they've had it far too easy for far too long, and that the redistributions done to them are both fair and just. Penelope exclaims that she hardly thinks that they've had it easy, and that only one of their swimming pools was even heated. Robyn continues, asking what the pair can do realistically, eliciting praise from Wentworth who says that she's asked the right question. She thanks him, turning to the camera and remarking that she wasn't the youngest ever editor of the Swinstead Middle School Enquirer for no reason.

Penelope ponders Robyn's statement, claiming that she thinks their toilet-butler was from Swinstead. Both she and Wentworth wonder what George's fate was, before remembering that their father tried to shoot him and he ran off into the woods. After the pair finish reminiscing about George, Penelope mentions that such was likely her last happy memory. Robyn says that such is tragic, asking the pair what they can do about it. They exclaim that they will "wise and webel", waging war on their rulers with a naked protest. Robyn questions the pairs statement as they proceed to undress themselves, poorly-spelt words painted onto their bodies, as they call out for their father to tell him that the protest is beginning.

Robyn pleads for the two to not do so, as they can't show such on the news. Their father, Mr Somerset-Bentley, exits the household, announcing his presence with a gunshot that causes Robyn to duck and scream. He shouts for Tilly to get the dogs as Penelope informs the viewers that she's their mother, and "proper cracked-orf" too. Robyn smiles nervously, acknowledging that the two are at least showing some shame as they remove their undergarments, causing Robyn to look away in disgust and the cameraman to tilt the camera upwards.

Mr. Somerset-Bentley walks up to Robyn, greeting her and remarking that it seems the protest has already started. He looks down at Wentworth, praising his shaft-work and telling Robyn that Wentworth gets such from him. Nervously, Robyn asks the group what their goal is with the protest, and Penelope exclaims that they just want to be fudding well heard. Mr. Somerset-Bentley expresses discontent at her expletive language, claiming that they are nude but not rude. She apologizes as Wentworth continues, saying that they want the world to realize that they won't roll over and run away, and that they will revolt and rise again. Mr. Somerset-Bentley cheers him on, firing another shot as Robyn ducks again, although Wentworth suddenly recoils in pain.

Robyn asks if he's okay and Penelope expresses anger at Mr. Somerset-Bentley, asking how he could've done such a thing. He demands she shut up in response, requesting that she gets her mother. Robyn proceeds to end the interview, stating that as the embryonic protest movement takes one in the todlings, that it's back to Jeremy and Megan in the studio as Mr. Somerset-Bentley walks off, claiming that he'll get the dogs instead.

After the interview ends, Robyn requests if they can get a medic as Penelope grabs the shot-off tip of Wentworth's penis, asking him if it's a piece of such before he exclaims disgust, shouting that he's squeamish. Robyn turns to someone off-screen asking about her cappuccino as Wentworth asks her if his penis looks alright, causing her to turn away in shock. She begins to gag as Penelope attempts to re-attach the tip of Wentworth's penis, asking if it hurts as Wentworth loudly expresses pain, shouting multiple expletives.

##### Post-Interview Remarks

Jeremy thanks Robyn, claiming that the story is certainly one that they'd want to keep an eye on, asking Megan if she agrees. She replies, telling him to speak for himself, but that she's seen enough shaft work to last her a lifetime. Jeremy retorts, saying that he's sure she has, proceeding to ask if a naked protest movement can ever catch on due to it not seeming like the way things are done in the country.

Megan, in response, says that the country is becoming a very different place. Jeremy earnestly replies, asking who will run around naked in the country's weather. She jokes, hoping that Jeremy wouldn't be the one to do such, eliciting a response from him claiming that there wouldn't be enough canvas for the slogans. Megan chuckles some more, then informing the viewers that when they come back, Patrick Bannon will be live from the Sportsboard finals, and that they should stick around due to not wanting to miss it.

## Break 1

### Mr. Snugglehugs Played

Megan rushes out of the studio, apologizing and stating that she's bursting. As she runs off, Jenny puts her arm around Jeremy's shoulder, telling him that someone is very good. Jeremy asks for clarification in regards to who she's referring to, and she informs him that she was talking about Megan. After receiving clarification, he agrees, and Jenny tells him to watch his back, as women are coming. Jeremy then turns to her and retorts that he's more worried about the water dripping onto his head.

### Mr. Snugglehugs Not Played

Megan rushes out of the studio, apologizing and stating that she's busting. As she runs off, Jenny fixes Jeremy's tie, telling him that she's funny. Jeremy agrees, informing her that he knows and thinks that it's endearing. Jenny warns him that Megan wants his job, and he, in response, says that she's welcome to it. He then looks down in frustration, asking why it's raining on his desk, as Jenny proceeds to look upwards towards the ceiling.

### Before Segment 2

During the break, Boseman calls Alex again, informing them that they're receiving reports that naked protestors may try to spoil the Sportsboard final by "waving their fleshy bits about." He requests that Alex tries to make sure that they don't broadcast said protestors, as, in his words: "It's 6pm for God's Sake, no-one wants to see fannies on the news."

Back in the studio, Jeremy and Megan are bickering over their lines for the segment, with Megan thinking that they should just keep the lines as it is. Jeremy responds that it was likely Megan would think such, as he's only got one line. She expresses confusion, asking what he means by the statement and telling him that she didn't write the lines.

Jeremy then calls out for Jenny, mentioning that something is wrong with the autocue. She announces that there are 10 seconds before the end of the break as Megan mentions that she felt a drip again, asking whether or not the leak has been fixed. Jeremy remarks that they are wanted to be seen fried, adding on that it would be good for the ratings as Jenny then proceeds to count down to the end of the break.

## Segment 2

### Pre-Game

Megan welcomes the viewers back, and informs them that, later, she'll be speaking to Prime Ministers Julia Salisbury and Peter Clement about their exciting new healthcare facilities, the 'Transition Centres'.

Jeremy replies, saying that it's nice to see that they care, with Megan telling him that he's certainly right, but first, they'll be going live to Patrick Bannon, who's reporting live from the finals of the new game that's gripping the nation; Sportsboard.

### Sportsboard

#### Introductions

Patrick Bannon tells Megan that she is right, informing the viewers that they join him live from the final of the first annual Sportsboard championship. He continues, claiming that it's been a hotly competition so far, and he thinks it's fair to say the two competitors have been dancing around each other all season.

He introduces Ellie Striker, the more experienced of the two players, hosting an accuracy of seven, a danger rating of K, and a twelve month driving ban. As Ellie is seen performing her pregame exercises, Patrick tells the viewers that she's known for her signature move: "The Lanky Hamster."

As both contestants walk towards the middle of the room to perform the slapping ceremony, Patrick introduces Ellie Striker's opponent, that being Tommy "The Fingernail" Harris. He states that Tommy is hoping to prove himself with a career record of twelve outs, fourteen finishes, and a divorce pending.

Once the slapping ceremony ends, Patrick informs the viewers that Ellie Striker is the first to start as she won the earlier trivia round by some margin. As Tommy disrobes into his sports attire, Patrick comments that he's perhaps the brawn and not the brains, elaborating that he's calling him stupid.

#### Round One

The referee blows his whistle, and a ballboy hands Ellie Striker the ball. She swings her arm in a throwing motion, sending the ball past the bucket as Tommy Harris narrowly avoids being hit in the crossfire. Patrick praises Ellie's performance, commenting that she's determined not to let the nerves show; not after last time.

Patrick commentates as Tommy Harris goes next, using his arm to pick up the ball as he gently tosses the ball, sending it close to the bucket, although it rolls away. Ellie Striker then receives the ball for Shot Number Three, and she tosses it under her legs. Patrick takes note of her performance, remarking that it wasn't bad, but then announcing that there was a bit of business with the referee, although it got sorted out.

As Tommy Harris picks up the ball, Patrick states that a ball in the hand is worth two in the bush. The referee blows his whistle at Tommy before he can throw the ball, claiming that he exceeded the permitted throwing distance as Patrick comments on the ordeal, believing that it was fair game. Tommy backs up, tossing the ball but unfortunately landing it in the bucket. Ellie Striker celebrates his poorly-planned move as Tommy expresses his frustration, walking over to the referee and arguing with him.

Turning to the viewers, Patrick announces that after the 'Argument with the Ref' section, it's time for both competitors to change ends. Ellie Striker taunts Tommy as they both switch sides, Tommy staring into a camera and pointing at it as he moves. Once they both make it to their ends, Patrick states that they then go back to their starting positions, "as that makes sense."

##### Ground Sound

As Ellie Striker receives the ball from a ballboy, an alarm begins to go off alongside the referee doing squats. Both her and Tommy put their headbands over their eyes and drop to the floor as Patrick Bannon announces that such is the 'Ground Sound.' The referee watches both contestants attentively, holding his whistle in the air. Patrick remarks that there is an excellent play on both sides of the bucket, commenting that he's finding the technical mastery on display "absolutely blooming jaw-dropping."

The referee jolts his head in Tommy's direction, reaching an arm out to touch his shoulder. As he does so, he blows his whistle, Patrick noting that Tommy is having a miserable start during the competition. He argues with the referee as Ellie celebrates, Patrick proceeding to announce the beginning of the Half-Time Show, which he states is sponsored by Rymmington-Svist.

#### Mime Round

Tommy Harris, the first to serve, gently tosses the imaginary ball, sending it near Ellie Striker. Patrick Bannon praises the duo's performance, commenting that it really could go anywhere and is really high level play from two "absolute juggernauts" of the sport. As Ellie receives her imaginary ball, the referee moves the bucket back to its original position, which Patrick remarks is about time. She juggles the imaginary ball around in her hands before putting it in her mouth, then spitting it out to the opposite end of the room. Patrick comments on her performance, calling it a wonderful move and that Ellie is in it to win it. Turning to the viewers, Patrick continues his statement, saying she's "on it, like a car bonnet."

Tommy receives his imaginary ball as Patrick commentates that he's having a bit of beef. He proceeds to peel the ball as if it were a banana, causing confusion on Patrick's part, who wonders if Tommy hasn't had his potassium yet. As Tommy throws his banana into the air, Patrick exclaims that the banana was the ball, praising it as a fantastic move from Harris, although the game is unfortunately at its end. Tommy drops to the floor in shame as Patrick questions how he can look his eight-year-old son in the face, calling him a lump. As Ellie striker continues celebrating and Tommy slaps his lucky fingernail with his opposing hand, the referee calls both contestants in, blowing his whistle several times.

#### Final Results

Ellie Striker and Tommy Harris join the referee, placing their hands in his as he announces the winner of the First Annual Sportsboard Championship. After a long silence, he shouts that everyone is the winner, raising both contestants' hands as the room erupts into a roar. Both Ellie Striker and Tommy Harris are ecstatic, jumping into each others arms. While they do so, Patrick commentates that it is once again a win for everyone, including him as his fifteenth win of the Sportsboard Championship. He states that he'll be celebrating at night with his wife and children as the Vision Mixer begins to accrue several electric currents.

As both Tommy and Ellie exchange hugs with various members on-site, Patrick announces the arrival of the on-site security, stating that it's also their sixth and seventh win. He thanks the viewers again for watching the Sportsboard Championship, remarking that he's looking forward to celebrating as he proceeds to return the broadcast back to Jeremy and Megan in the studio.

### Post-Game Remarks

Jeremy tells the viewers that that was Patrick Bannon, at an extraordinary final. Megan comments that the Sportsboard was historic, resulting in him saying that he never knew she was a fan.

In regards to Jeremy's statement, Megan boasts that she can wrench a doubler with the best of them. Jeremy replies, telling Megan that he certainly wouldn't bet against her.

Megan then goes to inform the viewers of what will happen when they come back, but gets interrupted by a shriek of pain from Jeremy. She continues, telling the viewers that she'll be talking to Prime Ministers Julia Salisbury and Peter Clement, adding on that they apparently have a big announcement that the viewers wouldn't want to miss.

## Break 2

Jenny announces a one-minute break, and Jeremy exclaims that the microphone just shocked him, storming off and demanding to know the location of the sound guy. Jenny then walks over to Megan, asking her if everything's alright, who responds by informing her that the microphones are apparently trying to kill them now.

Jenny, in response, tells Megan that she'll be fine, as she's unshockable. Megan laughs and tells Jenny that she's immune to her cheap flattery, and gets a retort back from Jenny telling her that she's wearing her down.

During the break, Mr. Boseman calls Alex, informing them that he heard from the people in maintenance that the storm outside is causing a power surge, resulting in some of the controls in the Broadcast Room being temporarily electrocuted. He continues, saying that he knows Alex is tough, and can take an occasional shock for the sake of a perfect news broadcast, but that if Alex were to take too many in quick succession, it could render them unconscious. Boseman finishes the call by saying that he's sure they'll make the right decisions.

Back in the studio, Julia and Peter enter, with Jenny apologizing for all the buckets around the studio, and that they seem to have sprung several leaks. Peter responds, telling her that she'll need a whole new lining on the ceiling, preferably triple-sealed. She replies, telling him that she'll look into it.

Megan enters the room, shaking hands the Prime Ministers and telling Julia that it's good to see her again. Julia, in response, tells Megan that her star seems to be on the ascendant. When shaking hands with Peter, he tells her that she has a firm handshake, Julia joining in and telling him that Megan is tougher than she looks.

Julia goes to sit down, and asks Megan if she sits on the left. She gets a reply, telling her that she's on the right, with Peter on her left. When he sits down, he turns to Julia and asks her if her seat is damp. She replies to him, telling him that her seat is fine, leaning in and asking him if he's "had a little accident". He laughs, calling Julia a cheeky cow as Jenny proceeds to count down to the end of the break.

## Segment 3

### Prime Ministers Interview

*This segment can be failed if the player takes too many electric shocks within a short amount of time.*

Megan welcomes the viewers back, telling them that she is delighted to be joined by Julia Salisbury and Peter Clement. She welcomes the Prime Ministers to the National Nightly News, and Julia replies, telling her that referring to her as Prime Minister is unnecessary. Peter adds on that they don't believe much in titles, as it doesn't seem very 'Advanced'.

Megan starts off by asking them how they feel about the graffiti that has been springing up across the capital, asking them if they should be worried. Julia tells her that she definitely shouldn't be worried, with Peter commenting that you shouldn't unless you've got a fatal paint allergy. Julia continues, saying that it seems that there are still some people that they haven't been able to help, and have yet to benefit from the many advantages the New Future brings, or in Peter's words, a bunch of whingers.

Peter then turns to Megan and recites a quote from his old mam, telling her that there are just some piss-ants who don't know how to be happy. Julia continues, in regards to his statement, saying that they're working hard to reach those people, find out what they're angry about, and how they can help. She adds on that the door to her government is always open.

Peter looks up at the ceiling and tells the group that something is dripping on him. Julia then starts speaking again, mentioning that they didn't come to the National Nightly News to talk about what may turn out to be an alternative arts project, Peter commenting that if it were to be, that they no doubt will have funded it.

She continues, saying that they want to talk to the Nation about something far more exciting. Megan replies, telling her that her office briefed them that she had an announcement to make, but that they were being surprisingly secretive about it.

Julia tells Megan to let her ask her a question, and she replies saying that it's not usually how it works doing interviews. She asks Megan what scares her, and after the lack of response, Peter joins in to tell Megan that she's talking about death. Julia continues, saying that they're all afraid of their deaths, and that it's part of being human.

Megan, seemingly confused, turns to Julia and asks if she's saying that Advance has cured death, which elicits laughs from around the room, Peter telling her that it would be a vote-winner. Julia responds, saying that while they may not have cured death, that they've found a way to make it much less scary.

Peter then asks Megan which camera his close-up is, and she replies, telling him that it's camera four. He turns to the camera, telling the viewers that when he was thirteen, his mam came and got him from school because they were to go to the hospital due to his granddad collapsing, and they were all to go and say their goodbyes to him.

He continues, saying that he went to go see his granddad, and he was frail and pale, which scared him because Peter saw him the week prior and he had been fit as a fiddle. Peter then says that his granddad told him that it was the right time, and that he didn't even want to be a burden to the people he loved.

Megan asks Peter if that was the last time he saw his grandad. He replies, telling her that it wasn't, and that three days later his grandad was back home, and that he lived with them for nine miserable years after that. He adds on that his grandad had to be fed with a rubber spoon, and had a commode, so he'd just take a shit right in the lounge while they were watching football, and wouldn't even wait until half-time.

He continues, saying that it was awful for them, but what the point was is that it was awful for his granddad, and that he could see it was destroying Peter's mam, watching him slowly fade away, and would beg her to turn off his breathing equipment at night, but she couldn't, or she wouldn't. He adds on that it was a crime to do so, and that his mam didn't want to lose her children as well as her father.

Julia says that no family should have to suffer like how Peter's did and that now they won't have to because the Health Service is opening the first of 300 Transition Centres. Peter joins in, saying that the Transition Centres will handle everything for the viewer's last days, and that the legal, financial, and emotional costs are all catered for and paid for by the government so that even the poorest citizen will get to pass on with dignity when they choose.

Julia continues, saying that the choice is important, and that it's a service only for people who choose it, for people who've run their course and don't want to burden themselves or their families with a slow, long, humiliating decline.

Peter then shrieks in pain as thunder is audible, saying that the microphone pack he's wearing has just given him an electric shock. Megan asks if he's okay, and he replies saying that he isn't sure, adding on that he thinks it fried his arsehole shut.

Julia warns Peter that they're still on the air, and he acknowledges it, apologizing for his language. Megan then turns to her and asks if she is worried if the new system might be open to abuse, getting a response back where Julia asks her in what way the system may be open to abuse.

Thunder is audible again, with Peter once more shrieking in pain, immediately apologizing afterwards, saying that he got zapped again, requesting for assistance. Megan replies to Julia's question prior to the interruption, saying that the older generation might feel somewhat coerced, but before she can finish her sentence, Peter gets shocked again, claiming that it was massive. He proceeds to walk off-screen, claiming that the bastard is coming off.

Megan continues, asking if the older generation might feel somewhat coerced. Julia replies, asking if she means coerced into spending their final days eating gourmet food and drinking fine wine in luxury spas and gardens. Their conversation gets interrupted by Peter again, saying that he's perfectly capable of doing something, but gets interrupted by more thunder, shouting for someone to fuck his grandmother with a rusty twat-basher.

Megan turns to Peter, asking him to please watch his language. Thunder then interrupts with the broadcast's signal briefly, with Peter then being shown getting his foot stuck in a bucket. Julia then tells him to go get himself sorted out, as she tells the viewers that they're launching a Government Information Film that should tell them everything they need to know. Megan replies, telling her that she really moves at a breathless pace and that it's hard to believe that she's yet to be in office for a year.

Julia laughs, then turning to the camera and saying that they're only getting started. Megan then ends the interview, thanking both of the Prime Ministers for being there.

### Exit Remarks

Jeremy informs the viewers that that is all the time they have for the night, and that their thanks go out to their guests, congratulating all the winners at the Sportsboard Final, and that they'll see the viewers the following night at the same time. Before the broadcast ends, Jeremy wishes the viewers a peaceful night.

## Break 3

Once the last advert is played, Alex gets shocked, and slowly goes unconscious.

As this occurs, Jenny announces that they're out, turning to Jeremy and asking him something before pausing momentarily, not finishing her sentence. He replies to her that it seems so, and she continues, stutteringly saying that she doesn't suppose that there's any way that what they're referring to could be a good thing. He claims, in response, that it is good for his nephews, who'll have him 'transitioned' the moment he starts to leak.

## Adverts

There are five selections of adverts for this broadcast:

* The two posters seen in Timothy Tadlock's bedroom advertise Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek, another game published by tinyBuild, and Shotbot VII - Return of Blaze, an in-universe film starring Laurence Blunderclatch.
* The music heard during Sportsboard's half-time show is entitled 'Intermission', and is from an older game developed by NotGames: ~~NotGTAV~~ NotTheNameWeWanted.
* The nudity shown during the Sportsboard segment by the naked protestors were originally intended on being uncensored, but were later censored due to legal complications.
* During Robyn Shorte's interview with the Tadlock Family, she is seen using a microphone with red National Nightly News branding consistent with the two previous broadcasts. While an error, a similar "wrong microphone" error was intentionally repeated during Segment 2 of Day 1975: The Sterility.
