Day ???: The Lockdown

*This article is a stub. You can help Not For Broadcast Wiki by expanding it.*

script for this Broadcast is available. *Day ???: The Lockdown - Script*

**Day ???: "The Lockdown"** is a Broadcast in *Not For Broadcast*. It is the first bonus level released for the game, and starts directly after Alex Winston gets shocked at the end of Day 153: The Tempest.

## Pre-Broadcast

Alex Winston wakes up in the Broadcast Room with the phone ringing. When they pick up the phone, they hear Jenny, who expresses relief in Alex being alive. She informs them that several Mrs. Snugglehugs toys have amassed on the broadcast tower, instructing them on how to remove them.

The previous show on Channel One gives the summary of programming for the rest of the evening:

* UP NEXT - National Nightly News
* 7pm - What's Wrong With This Picture - a group of television executives will be trying to work out why there's a cock and balls on the cheek of the Mona Lisa.
* 8pm - The Shape of Then - the Azores-Winning documentary series looks at the long-forgotten phenomenon that used to be called: Outside.
* 9pm - Electric Fever Dream - sit back and relax with this multiple award-winning movie.
* 11:15pm - Incisors - Doctor Adrian Atkinson-Blimey will be eating his guests, and tonight he's got a chubby traffic warden from Stainstable in his crosshairs.
* 12am - National Weather Report

Behind the scenes, Jeremy and Megan are in their home studios. Jeremy tells Jenny over the earpiece that there's no credibility or professionalism. He then tells her, that the room behind him is not a mess and that everything is where it should be, describing the scene as "ramshackle and characterful," and he expects her to know the difference. He then says, possibly in response to a communication to Megan, that of course her place looks lovely, but he can't see it.

Megan thanks Jenny, then asks how lock-in with her boyfriend is going. Jeremy quips that he decided to take his chances on the wild streets rather than endure another romantic comedy. Megan then tells Jeremy that Jenny says his hair looks stupid. Jeremy states he can hear Jenny, but Megan says Jenny's not talking to him. Jeremy again says he can hear Jenny. Megan asks if she can count them in; Jeremy says, "Make it so." After Megan gives the 10-second warning, she wishes all to break a leg. Jeremy quips, "Preferably a furry one."

## Segment 1

### Headlines

Jeremy and Megan Wolfe start the broadcast by greeting the viewers, and introducing the main headlines of the night.

*(Note: Headlines with a **black** border are Macabre headlines. Those with a **purple** border are Surreal headlines. Picking all headlines with the same colored border will determine which version of the Internal Use Only video, the Crazy Neil's advert, and the song "Mr Bear (What's That Over There?)" will be shown.)*

#### The Shape Of Things To Come

In their own version of a lockdown for more than 45 years now, the descendants of Doctors David Wong and Ingrid Svorsborgenhorgensvord and their unfortunate team today managed to get a personal statement to the surface using flardualized imaging equipment. Many of the Svorsborgenhorgensbrood, as they've come to be known, have certainly captured the public imagination, with a recent vote naming Helvetica Svorsborgenwongensvord the most likely to survive a massive electric shock.

##### Between Headlines

It's hard to believe they've been down there so long now. But everyone knows time moves differently underwater Jeremy, that's why...

#### Advance Speaks Out

*For each headline branch, Headline A will always feature Julia Salisbury and Headline B will always feature Peter Clement.*

With the Snuggle-Struggle proving a test to governments around the world, Advance HQ released a curious statement this afternoon. In the accompanying release, they asked us to stress that they have been listening, and that this should be taken as a response to how the people really feel. We've certainly done our bit on this show to contribute to the political climate, but let's not forget, how we behave in our home lives is what really matters. Megan hopes it's just not her who filled out the questionnaire, or we're all in trouble! Let's play that statement!

##### Alex On Middle Ground

* Christmas with the in-laws.
* Your child's school play.
* Youth.
* Beauty.
* That phase you still don't talk about.
* Your New Year's resolution.
* Your husband's hairline.
* Your waistline.
* Your term in office.
* Your fleeting lifetime.
* And all of human endeavour.

I hope my relatable list has allowed you to find reassurance. To know that just as these things pass us by, so too will this crisis. Together, we will endure. As we always have. Thank you."
1. Stay at home. It's not for you, it's to protect your Aunt Mable and Bill next door.
2. Always share your booze with your Prime Minister.

As me old mam used to say: "There's only two type of folk. Them who'll help you cross the road with ya shoppin', and them who'll kick you in the fanny and knick your macaroni. So don't be a pasta snatcher! Stay at home, have a brandy, and this'll all be over before you know it. Thank you."

#### "Professional" Sophia

*If the Professional Sophia headline was selected during Day 8: The Fallout,*

Delectable stuff.

Later tonight, Jeremy will be catching up with brave roving reporter Patrick Bannon while Megan checks in with two friends of the program who find themselves stranded at opposite ends of the country. And then in part 3, there's going to be a quiz. Presumably because there's nothing important going on that you'd might like to report on if you were, say, a news program. And in a moment, we'll both be asking Sophia Rymmington how such a trusted brand could have made such a terrible manufacturing mistake. With what it describes here as "help" from popular psychic scientist, Delia Lywell. Megan seems to like her. Jeremy says she doesn't and asks why she does that. That's all coming up on tonight's National Nightly News.

During the opening titles, they receive the feed from Sophia Rymmington, who Jeremy calls "The Golden Goddess of Capitalism" as she puts her earpiece in. Sophia asks if they can hear her and Megan replies in the affirmative, calling her Miss Rymmington. She asks to call her Sophia, at least while they're off the air. Megan introduces Jeremy, and Sophia says she knows what he does.

#### "Wild Child" Sophia

*If the Wild Child Sophia headline was selected during Day 8.*

Ridiculous stuff.

Later tonight, Jeremy will be probing heartthrob reporter Patrick Bannon while Megan takes a deep dive into some controversial opinions with two familiar faces. And then in in the third segment, and presumably because their editor is also working from home, there's going to be a bloody quiz. Megan says she can't wait. And in a moment, Megan and Jeremy Grumpleson will be asking controversial CEO Sophia Rymmington where it all went wrong. And psychic scientist, Dr Delia Lywell will be joining them, presumably to provide a bit of false hope. Megan suggests that she'll tell Jeremy how he's going to die. Jeremy responds, saying it's too late, and that he's certain it happened months ago. That's all coming up on tonight's National Nightly News.

During the opening titles, they receive the feed from Sophia Rymmington, but she's not there. Megan suggests she's probably powdering her nose. "But with what," asks Jeremy. Megan responds saying Sophia will be fine. Jeremy is surprised to learn that Megan is on a first-name basis with her, and Megan explains they met at a party on her yacht. Jeremy wishes that he was on a yacht. So does Jenny, as Megan tells him. Jeremy exclaims that he knows already since he can still hear her. Megan begins the countdown as Jeremy frustratedly asks where Sophia is.

Sophia finally comes on, cocktail in hand, as the title sequence finishes.

### Title Sequence

The Day ??? 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 is shown. Throughout the duration of the sequence, Mrs Snugglehugs occasionally appears, with a voice-over singing that "Mr Snugglehugs smells like love."

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 "Lockdown Special, with Jeremy, Megan, and the News Team." All of the text then fades away.

### Sophia Rymmington

#### "Professional" Sophia Interview

Jeremy introduces the interview by asking, "How did we get here, where are we going, and most importantly, who's to blame?" Megan states that "Internationally respected business Svengali" Sophia is joining us from her ranch in Arlingsfield, Millkirky. Jeremy introduces the other guest, Delia Lywell, who is coming to them from their crystal healing laboratory, which he assumes is a garage in Upper Lowington. Delia explains she's joined by the spirits of dead scientists, who Jeremy dismisses as the voices in her head.

Jeremy tells Sophia that the entire Snugglehugs range is the biggest PR disaster in history. Sophia says that that's one world record they didn't seek to claim. He asks for a comment and she apologizes on behalf of Rymmington-Svist and the dedicated inventors and engineers at RymmingToys, adding, "Who could have predicted that letting a child's toy learn how to love could have such unforeseen consequences?"

Delia enthusiastically claims that they see Sophia Rymmington, prenning by a metal vessel, "and where you venture, you see neither land nor sky." Megan asks if that's supposed to be the future, to which Sophia answers, saying only the past is concrete.

Sophia then tells about her grandfather who, when Sophia was a child, made the first Dancing Hangman toy. He put it by her bed and when she couldn't sleep she'd wind it up and let the happy little executioner dance and wave its tiny noose. She says her grandfather sold thousands of them (on the quiet) and used the money to found RymmingToys, now a small part of Rymmington-Svist. He died at another of his pet projects, a preschool tobacco factory, where a fire happened. Despite this, they never lost his spirit of invention.

Jeremy questions how her grandfather's offensive toys are related to the current predicament. Sophia responds with the passion to create and problem-solve. To that end, she announces a new product being launched from midnight that night. Before introdcing the new product, Delia excitedly responds saying they sense science.

Ms Rymmington introduces a product called Snuggle Traps, sold in boxes of 8 for 129.99. These devices, she claims, will stop a Mrs Snugglehugs in its tracks. Delia interrupts saying they see Jeremy, but Sophia interrupts back, saying she's mid-pitch. Sophia adds the Snuggle Traps are powered by next-generation flardinium batteries, which will outlast the enemy.

Delia repeats her seeing of Jeremy, adding that he's screaming and yelling, his friends are crying, they fear him, and then he's gone. Megan says she just felt chills and asks if anyone else did. Sophia says she did. Jeremy, however, in an effort to get back on topic, states that the traps seem to be nothing more than attractively-repackaged land mines, and asks if they're dangerous to children. Sophia says that these aren't toys, but they're explosive fun.

Jeremy thanks the guests for joining them, and Megan says that the program will return "after these bandages."

#### "Wild Child" Sophia Interview

Jeremy introduces the interview by asking, "How did we get here, where are we going, and most importantly, who's to blame?" Megan states that "CEO and Socialite" Sophia is joining us from her villa on the island of San Palmarino. Sophia compliments Megan's hairdo. Jeremy introduces the other guest, "Doctor, it says here," Delia Lywell, who is coming to them from her crystal healing laboratory, which he assumes is a garage in Lower Uppington.

Jeremy tells Sophia that her toys are rampaging across the developed world, her company is worth less than his annual salary, and her country's president recently called her a national disgrace, then asks if she has taken her eye off the ball.

Sophia responds saying that Jeremy is cute when he's angry, then adds that the people there have an island mentality: they can't see the bigger picture. Megan asks what this bigger picture is, and Sophia says it's flithium batteries, which have powered the toys for 71 days so far with no sign of slowing down. She then asks them to picture what that means for the future.

Jeremy retorts saying that it means we have no idea when this lockdown is going to end. He then questions Rymmington-Svist's ability to survive this. Sophia says flithium batteries will change everything, powering everything from transport systems to portable technology, to even space travel.

Megan asks how they can be made with everyone at home. Sophia says that thanks to the work of "thousands of tiny hands," the batteries are pouring off the production line. Jeremy questions the company's future. Delia interrupts saying the future is her area of expertise. Jeremy, with clearly nothing better to do, asks Delia about Sophia Rymmington's future. "We see her on a balcony, foreign soil, but not foreign land. An age will pass."

Megan remarks that was fascinating. Sophia says that Delia is amazing, and adds that she has to fly her out to do that for her guests. Jeremy notes that there's one problem: all flights have been grounded because of her "tiny deadly stowaways." Sophia suggests that not all flights are grounded and then invites Delia and Megan to call her for some future arrangement, adding that they should bring their swim wear.

Jeremy claims that Sophia is being ignorant of the seriousness of the situation, and asks if she takes any responsibility for the crisis. Delia interrupts, warning Sophia that it's a trap. Jeremy denies this and asks why she's helping her. Delia says Sophia seems fun, a statement Sophia agrees with. Jeremy tells Sophia to answer his question.

Sophia answers, saying that flithium batteries are the greatest invention of all time, but they won't last forever, adding that one day all the Mrs Snugglehugs will just stop, and that will seem like a miracle, and that everyone will go back to the tradition of buying stuff. She adds that this lockdown has affected the company's bottom line, except for sponges.

Megan then asks Delia for an indication of how or when this might end. She says that her senses tell her that "there will come a day when there will be clouds in the sky, the grass will be rich and verdant, the birds will sing at dawn, and that shall be the day when we walk forth again."

While Megan finds that comforting, Jeremy observes that that could literally be any day. Sophia hopes it's not too soon, adding that 100 days sounds good on a commercial, and that if the lockdown lifts now, the children will have to go back to working normal hours. Delia concurs.

Megan thanks the guests for joining them, Jeremy teases the next segment, and Megan says that the program will return "after these sandwiches."

## Break 1

### "Professional" Sophia

Delia asks if her performance was alright, and while Jeremy coughs, Megan replies that it was exactly what they expected. After a momentary pause, Delia continues, stating that Sophia Rymmington seems nice, with Megan adding on that she'd likely make an interesting dinner guest.

Jeremy questions if Megan really thinks such, remarking that he'd rather spend the evening shoving Delia's sacred crystals up his skeptical arsehole.

### "Wild Child" Sophia

Jeremy exclaims that Sophia is a Hindenburg-sized fuck-up, eliciting a chuckle from Megan who adds on that she's fun at a social level. He states that he wouldn't want to be on Sophia's board, Megan remarking that she'll drive Rymmington-Svist into the ground.

### Between segments

During the break, Dave cheerfully calls Alex, claiming that they won't believe that he's decided to come home. He informs them that he'll call them back after the next break to talk about how he can get his job back. Before hanging up, Dave expresses good wishes to Alex.

### Before Segment 2

Back in their home studios, Megan chats with Jenny, who is both unheard and unseen during the break. She claims that something unspecified has been a long-time coming, remarking that they've both said it, and that someone unspecified (implied to be Jeremy) must know, as he's not stupid. Megan adds on that she doesn't want it coming back to him that it came from the two of them, and after a brief pause, adamantly refuses to let Jenny back out on her, stating that they're both in this together. She says that what they're going to do will work, and they'll get him, mentioning that she's made the cake and Jenny's on the balloons. After another pause, Megan exclaims that she's got no idea how old Jeremy is, who could be 40 or 17, but stops herself midway as she hastily proceeds to count down to the end of the break.

While this is occurring, Alan James and Katie Brightman bicker on separate screens. Katie states that she will never understand something, Alan chiming in that he doesn't expect her to do such and taking a drink from a mug. As he's doing such, Katie questions why something resides under his pillow, receiving the answer that it's self-love, Alan adding on that she should support him. Katie remarks that she supports self-love, and that it's the photo of himself that he sleeps with that she's struggling with. Alan claims that it was a good day for him hair-wise, and was walking down the street when he caught his own reflection, thinking "What a brave young man he is..." He continues, but gets interrupted by Megan counting down.

## Segment 2

### Alan James and Katie Brightman Interview

Megan introduces herself as Megan Roof, then introduces Katie Brightman, respected academic; and Alan James, author of "Alan James' Kites." As they thank Megan for having them on the show, Alan adds that he enjoyed their previous heated encounter, though Katie wishes she could say the same.

Kaite explains that the lockdown was so sudden she hasn't been able to get home, staying at a hotel after an international policy convention and had a particularly heavy night out. She overslept that night and has been there ever since. She adds that of course, there are others worse off than her.

Alan uses himself as an example. His tour has been canceled and he was forced to refund every ticket, even the cheap seats. Apparently people have been rude to him about it, not knowing he already spent the money on filling his beach house with beef. He adds that his book, Alan James' Reich, is available in paperback. Katie responds saying that Alan is unbelievable.

Megan then asks how the lockdown will affect the economy, and if we should be worried. Katie says that this could be catastrophic, and it would be a miracle if many businesses can survive this. Alan dismisses that as scaremongering, and the spreading of the latest liberal hoax, adding that the government wants us quiet, compliant, and inside. Katie questions how Alan could say that. Alan says he hasn't seen any of those supposed toys, and asks Katie if she has. She says no, but–

Alan interrupts her, asking if she knew that 3000 people die every year from regular toys, and the Mrs Snugglehugs is no different, adding that a person is just as likely to be attacked by a yo-yo or a tennis racket.

Megan tells Katie that Alan makes a persuasive point, but Alan butts in, telling Katie the press is the enemy of truth. Katie protests, saying that Megan is agreeing with him. Alan concludes that he must be wrong.

Megan asks if Alan is recanting his previous statement, suggesting that the toys are not dangerous. He responds saying that people are claiming that these are normal toys, but he says that that's just corrupt media lies. Megan then asks Katie about Alan's latest claim that the toys are dangerous. She says that she agrees with him.

Alan thanks Katie for her support, adding that people are saying the situation will eventually blow over, but it won't. Katie agrees, saying we need decisive action from the government, financial support for businesses, to support the vulnerable, and—

Alan interrupts, saying we also need to repent, saying we brought this on ourselves through liberal indulgences like art, cake, and healthcare. He then says we need to sacrifice our first-borns or a beloved family pet.

Megan then adds that if we come together as a community and perform the ritual, hopefully we will appease the great ancient.

During the interview up to this point, Jeremy, on screen 2, appears to have been preparing a large sandwich.

Megan asks if the situation could have been worse. Katie says that thanks to Advance heavily investing into health over the past few years, the system can bear the strain. Alan begins to ask how it's lucky the "llama lords" have unleashed a horde of man-made monsters to conceal the enemy within—

Katie takes a pillow from the couch she's sitting on and throws it in the direction of Alan's screen. It hits him in the face. After a childish back-and-forth between Alan and Katie, where Alan says something and Katie makes fun of how he talks, and saying he doesn't have any friends (both claims confirmed by Megan), Alan childishly takes his earpiece out and says that he's telling.

As Megan closes the interview, Alan walks through Katie's screen as Katie tells him he knows what they say about snitches and that she's getting her needle. Meanwhile, Jeremy is ready to eat his sandwich. That's when Megan says she'll be going to him for an up-to-the-minute report of the status of the nation. Jeremy quickly takes his sandwich off-screen and returns to his seat.

### Patrick Bannon

As Jeremy introduces the next segment, Patrick can be seen explaining to an unseen person (possibly Jenny through the earpiece) that even though he knows the situation is not ideal, he's not going out there. He couldn't care less, his way works, and he is invoicing the station for the gaffer tape and the poster he made. Before he can add another item to the list, Jeremy calls out to him.

While Patrick appears to be in a suburban neighborhood, the sound of his voice has a distinct echo. He apologizes for the broadcast quality as there were no camera-persons available to accompany him on the streets. He says that since the network refused to provide him with any PPE, he has had to improvise by attaching sponges to his jacket, which apparently is effective in defending oneself against a Mrs Snugglehugs. Jeremy asks Patrick which street he's on. He hesitates and stalls before answering that he's on Bannon Avenue. Jeremy questions this and Patrick confirms. Jeremy then asks if the name of the street has any relation to Patrick Bannon. Patrick initially dismisses the allegation, but when questioned again, he reveals he is in his bathroom at home.

After a moment, there's a knocking at the door, like a bunch of tiny fists queuing to forcefully enter. The banging grows louder and after a moment, several Mrs Snugglehugs break down the door and advance on Patrick, who is taking shelter in the shower at this time. One of the Mrs Snugglehugs toys attacks the camera before the signal is lost.

## Break 2

As Alex plays one of the adverts, the sound of breaking glass is heard to Alex's left, and a cartoonish smiling sun appears above the horizon out the broken window.

Jeremy tells someone over the headset that they are damn right, and that he had something delivered to "Bannon Avenue."

During the break, Dave calls Alex again, informing them that he's ran into a few problems getting back, adding on that it's not as bad as theirs, warning them that they've got a Mrs. Snugglehugs loose in the studio. He tells Alex to whack it on the head if it gives them any trouble.

He continues, telling them that it's pretty bad where he is too due to the Mrs. Snugglehugs getting onboard, that the Captain's down, and worse, the chef is down too, and out of rum. Dave tells Alex that he isn't sure he'll make it to sobriety or dry land, and that if he had a missus, he'd ask them to tell her that he loved him, but he's kind of pissed his life away. He adds on that at least he's outdoors, though, before hanging up.

Back in their home studios, Jeremy tells someone unheard that he's not going to do something and that he doesn't have to. He then tells them that he's not being a child, but instead that they are. He repeatedly says that he's not, before expressing confusion and noticing that the break is ending, proceeding to count down to the end of the break.

While this is occurring, Tommy Harris is shown in bed, wearing an eye-mask on his head. He then proceeds to put glasses on and read a book.

## Segment 3

### Quiz Show

Jeremy breaks his Welcome Back statement, clearly disappointed with what's about to happen. He introduces the next segment as something a bit different, adding that even though *some people* thought it's not their job to entertain the public with "absolute nonsense," other, more important people, overruled those people. So it's time to find out "Who will National Nightly Win, and who will National Nightly Lose." During the sting, he curses out Jenny saying that it's one thing to do this to him, but another to make him do puns. He then introduces Tommy Harris. Tommy calls Jeremy several different names over the course of this segment, which are reflected in the captions. He also appears to not be fully aware of the lockdown. He then explains the rules of the game: the contestant will have 30 seconds to answer three questions about Tommy for a chance to win "a very special prize": an athletic support autographed by Tommy.

The first contestant is Angie Bland, who before Jeremy introduces her, is holding a framed photo of Tommy and is rehearsing a marriage proposal with him. She puts the photo aside and a moment later, Jerejimmy (as he's now called by Tommy) asks her how she feels to be winning "this man's old pants." She says she's excited before adding that she loves both of them. She introduces herself with nervous excitement.

Now to start the game proper, Tommy asks John (referring to Jeremy) for 30 seconds on the clock. After being told he hasn't got a clock, Tommy tells Jeremy he asked for a clock. Jeremy offers an alternative: "I'll stop you when it inevitably becomes unbearable to watch."

Angie correctly answers Tommy's three questions while Jeremy silently puts his head in his hands. Upon revealing the results, Tommy adds that that means Angie wins and loses absolutely nothing. He then thanks her for playing. Meanwhile the expression on her face falls.

### Sonia Artleech Interview

Now calling him Jellybean, Tommy asks Jeremy for another contestant. He introduces Sonia, who responds flamboyantly. Noticing this, Jeremy guesses that she works in theater. She's a theatrical agent who represents well-known performers like Sandy Beefman, Daniel Coffecup, and Julia Carpetburn, amongst others. Even though all performing venues have closed in one way or another, she works from home, and due to a savvy clause in her contracts, she is able to claim her 15% from her clients' unemployment benefit.

As she speaks about working from home, Jeremy notices none other than Geoff Algebra with her. When the government gave the order, she was mid-meeting with a client, so they've been isolated together.

Geoff is a huge fan of Tommy Harris. He eventually offers to show him some stuff he's been working on. He and Sonia have been brainstorming ideas for shows targeting younger children. His first idea, *The King of the Jungle's Mortgage Repayments*, is about a lion who is having trouble with his interest rates. Tommy says he thinks Geoff is on to something with that idea.

Sonia excitedly tells Geoff to talk about his idea for a story involving a bear.

Starting by saying this idea is better, he tells the story of Mr Bear, a sad bear because all the other bears don't think he'll amount to much. They tell him that his plays are lazy and derivative. One day, he meets a wise old octopus who takes him under his wing. The octopus tells Mr Bear that in order to find happiness in the forest, he needs to set more realistic goals. The play is called *Mr Bear Lowers His Expectations*.

The goal of these plays is for children to have a more realistic world view.

Tommy then insists on knowing how the play ends. Sonia says all the animals learn about inevitable mediocrity, and Mr Bear goes into bear telemarketing. Geoff adds that it ends with a big musical number. He offers to get his boombox to show Tommy. Tommy agrees and asks if they can get Angie back. Geoff agrees. Geoff, Sonia, and Tommy leave, leaving Jeremy by himself.

Jeremy assumes he's just there to fill as the others prepare. "Coming up in a moment, it's the world premiere that nobody saw coming. Or wanted. At all." He apologizes in advance for what the viewers are about to… endure.

### *Mr Bear (What's That Over There?)*

The following segment will feature a version of what is referred in the soundtrack as "The Unsuitable Adventures of Mr Bear and Chums", with the version dependent on headline choices earlier in the broadcast.

#### Normal Version

Well there's all sorts of creatures down on Dangley Doodle Farm.

Like wise old Mr Octopus, with way too many arms!

There's Mr Pig! And Mr Cow! They're always in good moods.

But that's cause they don't know they'll soon be sliced up into food!

*(Tommy, with pink and white sock puppets on his hands, as well as Angie, who's wearing a blue and white outfit, enter the screen.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where your hopes go to turn into despair.

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where your dreams go to die!

Mr Raccoon! Wants to go to the moon.

He'll end up as a bus driver soon!

Mr Porcupine! Thinks he'll read the news at nine,

He'll end up as a janitor who stinks of turpentine.

Mr Tiny Mouse! Thought he'd own a massive house.

Ended up in a bed sit where he can't control the louse!

Mr Horse! Thought he'd go into professional sports.

Now he's an alcoholic and he's on his third divorce!

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's the place your life becomes an endless questionnaire!

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where your hopes go to die!

Lower your expectations!

Maybe you could get a job in telecommunications.

No matter how you try you'll never reach the League of Nations.

The best you'll get is middle rank in trading operations!

*(Tommy now waves a lamp around while Angie is waving a candle)*

So lower your expectations!

You'll never win an Oscar, so there's no congratulations.

The future that is coming will not meet specifications.

And no amount of visualizations will save you from your own deterioration…

*(Angie reaches off-screen and grabs two apples. She then gives one to Tommy and the other to Sonia through the screens. Sonia then passes her apple up to Tommy.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's a tramp who thought he'd be a multimillionaire!

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where self-esteem go to die!

*(Angie grabs another apple off-screen and passes it to Sonia, who passes it to Tommy. He then tries to juggle them, while still wearing the sock puppets on his hands.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's the disappointment that is waiting everywhere!

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where your schemes go to die!

That's where your dreams go to die!

That's where dreams go to die!

The group poses for awhile, and after the broadcast switches over to Megan, Geoff states that he thinks the performance went well, with Sonia replying that she thinks they've earned a G&T. He replies, saying that he thinks she's right, the two of them proceed to exit the screen, which is then followed by Tommy going back to sleep.

Before Angie exits the screen, she heads towards her table, grabs the framed photo of Tommy Harris, clutches it lovingly to her chest, and walks off.

#### Surreal Version

Well there's all sorts of creatures down on Dangley Doodle Farm.

Like wise old Mr Octopus, with way too many arms!

There's Mr Pig! And Mr Cow! They're always in good moods.

But that's cause they don't know they'll soon be sliced up into food!

*(Tommy, with white sock puppets on his hands, as well as Angie, who's wearing a sparkly pink jumpsuit and sunglasses, enter the screen.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where your hopes go to turn into despair.

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where your dreams go to die!

Mr Raccoon! Wants to go to the moon.

He'll end up as a bus driver soon!

Mr Porcupine! Thinks he'll read the news at nine,

He'll end up as a janitor who stinks of turpentine.

*(Angie applauds, Tommy puts on a Christmas hat, and Sonia carries a cutout of the Sphinx behind Geoff.)*

Please do not applaud. I'm a massive fraud!

Sacked up with the agent while the wife thinks I'm abroad!

**Sonia:** You said you were done!

**Geoff:** Oh, I say that to everyone.

Sometimes when I'm tipsy, me and Angela still have fun.

*(Tommy pulls out a briefcase, tosses clothes from it, then tosses the case away.)*

Mr Bear!

**Geoff:** I don't even care.

Sonia takes it up the bum and shaves her pubic hair.

*(Geoff puts on a crown while Tommy grabs a black umbrella.)*

Mr Bear!

**Sonia:** That's an over-share!

That was for your birthday and you're never going back there!

*(Sonia pulls out a sword.)*

Mr Bear! I'm in disrepair!

**Tommy:** Didn't check my prostate now it's started sprouting hair.

*(Tommy tosses the umbrella away and grabs a blue stuffed dinosaur.)*

Mr Bear!

**Sonia:** I have private healthcare,

Ninety pairs of shoes and thirty types of different cookware!

Mr Bear!

**Geoff:** I feel laissez-faire!

Maybe when the lockdown lifts, I'll hit on the au-pair!

Mr Bear!

**Angie:** I don't need to swear

But I'd give a fucking nipple for a lock of Tommy's hair.

Mr Bear!

**Tommy:** What a lovely chair!

Mr Bear!

**Geoff:** You've got the news caught up in your hair.

Mr Bear!

**Geoff:** What's that over there?!?

Mr Bear! Mr Bear!

*(Sonia, Angie, and Tommy then begin dancing, with the two women twirling off-screen temporarily. They return. Angie passes apples to Tommy and Sonia, but Tommy gets a pineapple and Angie gets a bunch of grapes.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's a hat entirely made of avocado pear!

*(Sonia passes the grapes up to Tommy, but he gets an orange.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That is a cutlery pie!

*(Angie grabs another apple off-screen and passes it to Sonia, who receives a banana and passes it to Tommy, who receives an apple.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's the sound a mushroom makes opening a deck chair!

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

*(Tommy tries to stuff the fruits into his shirt, while still wearing the sock puppets on his hands.)*

That is a suit for a fly!

That is a goat in a tie!

That is a dream when you fry!

The group poses for awhile, and after the broadcast switches over to Megan, Geoff states that he thinks the performance went well, with Sonia replying that she thinks they've earned a G&T. He replies, saying that he thinks she's right, the two of them proceed to exit the screen, which is then followed by Tommy.

Before Angie exits the screen, she heads towards her table, grabbing a potted plant off of it, and walking off.

#### Macabre Version

Well there's all sorts of creatures down on Dangley Doodle Farm.

Like wise old Mr Octopus, with way too many arms!

There's Mr Pig! And Mr Cow! They're always in good moods.

But that's cause they don't know they'll soon be sliced up into food!

*(Tommy, with blue and pink sock puppets on his hands, as well as Angie, who's wearing a sparkly black dress and a mask on top of her head, enter the screen.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where your hopes go to turn into despair.

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's where your dreams go to die!

Mr Raccoon! Wants to go to the moon.

He'll end up as a bus driver soon!

Mr Porcupine! Thinks he'll read the news at nine,

He'll end up as a janitor who stinks of turpentine.

*(Tommy reaches off-screen, grabs a mask, and puts it on. He leans close to the camera before returning to position.)*

Mr Ape! Got sent down for rape.

Didn't work out he was innocent 'til he was 88!

*(Sonia passes behind Geoff with a white mask covering her face.)*

Mr Bird flew south, super stardom on his path

Ended up on the end of a belt with an orange in his mouth, oh!

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's the place your mummy pushed your daddy down the stair!

*(Sonia now grabs a small cage with a teddy bear inside it and waves it behind Geoff.)*

Mr Bear! Six months in intensive care!

That's why the bitch has to die!

*(Geoff now puts a pig's nose on, Angie pulls the mash she's wearing down over her face, and Sonia comes out of the background wearing a bear mask.)*

Oh yeah!

The farmer thinks the Dangley Doodle creatures are asleep.

But Mr Bear's a swinger like the pigs and cows and sheep!

He visits every pen and sty and always brings the fun!

And jacks off Mr Quackington who's always first to cum!

He fingers Mr Badger's bum and Mrs Donkey's quim!

Then he fromps with Mr Chicken 'til they both are quite done in!

Then he runs around the farmyard, trying to shove it where it fits.

And ends the night by blorting over Mrs Badger's tits!

*(Tommy briefly lifts his shirt up to expose his bare chest.)*

There's never a dull moment down on Dangley Doodle Farm, kids.

*(Angie reaches off-screen and grabs a pair of apples. She tosses one to Tommy, who receives a severed hand. She then passes the other to Sonia, who receives a big knife.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's the sound of maggots growing underneath your hair!

*(Sonia passes the knife up to Tommy, who receives a bird skeleton.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

*(Geoff holds up a knife and fork.)*

That is your friends in a pie. Yum yum!

*(Angie grabs another apple from off-screen and passes it to Sonia, who receives a giant spider.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That's a giant spider in the shoe you want to wear!

*(Sonia passes the spider up to Tommy, who grabs a rose by its stem with his mouth. He breaks the flower off its stem and tosses it off-screen.)*

Mr Bear! What's that over there?

That is the end that is nigh!

That's where your friends go to lie!

That's how you'll scream when you die!

The group poses for awhile. After the broadcast switches over to Megan, Tommy reaches under the cover and acts like he's pleasuring himself. Then Geoff states that he thinks the performance went well, with Sonia replying that she thinks they've earned a Gin ant Tonic. He replies, saying that he thinks she's right, the two of them proceeding to exit the screen. Meanwhile, Angie, still masked, brings her face close to the camera and stares at it for several seconds. Before Angie exits the screen, she heads towards her table, turns the framed photo of Tommy face-down, then walks off.

### Megan's Exit Remarks

*The version of Megan the player is shown is determined by which options the player chose in…*

* *Day 6: Whether or not Alex gave their passport to Chris (therefore affecting their loyalty to Sam),*
* *Day 15: Whether or not Alex makes Charlie come home (or lets him go out),*
* *Day 48: Whether or not Alex allows Suzie to go traveling.*

#### Devil Meg Cares

Megan, dressed in a devil outfit, says she's sure both her and the viewers will all still be singing the performance's song the following morning, informing that such is all from them for the night. She gives out many thanks to the guests, remarking that she's looking forward to seeing them all again and adding on "eventually" after a brief pause. Megan then proceeds to tell Alex that, before they go, she wondered if she might have a word with them.

She claims she's had her eye on them and isn't liking what she's seeing. Megan states that Alex keeps letting her down, playing it safe, making what she refers to as "the dull, boring choices", and failing to assert themselves. Megan says no one likes a pushover, and that they are frankly acting like a bit of a wimp. She then proceeds to mock Alex and their family, pretending to be Sam and and asking if they can give away their passport so that her "super-rich sibling can abandon us all?" Making a tossing motion with her hand, Megan mimics giving the passport away, claiming that the action is pathetic. She then pretends to be Suzie, asking if she can have the money that they need for food so that she can "go round the continent on a jolly?" After giving an affirmative, she remarks that they can "always eat your grandma when we run out of food."

Megan scoffs, questioning if it would have felt better for Alex to take charge, and if they're not tempted to 'lay down the law'. She asks them if they know what's hot, other than her, stating it to be confidence, power, and control, noting that they're all drawn to it "like rats to the piper." Megan wonders if Alex cares where their son goes at night, remarking that they will when they find out. She say that, although it's sort of her whole raison d'être, it's far from her to try and lead them down the dark pathway, requesting for them to at least imagine for a moment that none of this was real. That it was all some stupid game where they could just do it all over again if it were to go wrong. Megan adds on for Alex to image if Sam, Charlie and Suzie were just characters, noting what fun they could have being bad, "for the hell of it." Before the broadcast ends, Megan tells Alex to have an evil night.

#### Megany Donaldswolfe

Megan, dressed up as Jeremy, says that the performance appears to have stopped. She continues, giving thanks to their guests for making the lockdown slightly more awful. She adds on that that is all the time they have for the night, but before they go, they have one final story:

"Skinflint Parent Ruins Daughter's Future." Megan states that it has emerged today that Alex Winston, of 102 nearby street, cruelly dashed their daughter Suzie's dreams last Christmas in what she claims critics are calling "A remarkable demonstration of miserliness."

She continues, saying that Stingy McTightbastard, as Alex is now called by their daughter, failed to see the importance of a broader cultural experience, denying the inquisitive youngster the opportunity to visit mind-expanding places such as the annual dissident hunt in Irkistan, the Orgy Houses in Svenland, or the legendary tilted village of Romantica, which is scheduled to slide gracefully into the sea sometime next August. Megan adds on that she guesses Suzie will never get to see that now.

Megan then states that Alex's spouse exclusively told the program: "I don't understand why Alex would deny her this chance to meet people across the continent. 20 years of marriage and now I'm starting to wonder if my partner is a bit racist." She comments that it looks like someone needs to cut their daughter a little slack, and that maybe the story will serve as a massive electric shock to the nerves. Before the broadcast ends, Megan tells the viewers to have a greaseproof night.

#### Mad Megs

Megan hesitantly states that the performance seems to have pretty much ran its course, adding on that that is all the time they have for the night. She then informs the viewers that before they go, she wants to leave them with one final thought, clarifying that by "them", she means Alex, up in the Broadcast Room.

She proceeds to give praise to Alex, mentioning that they make everyone look their best, keeping both the signal strong and the language mild. Megan lets out a chuckle, stating that Alex is damn good at doing such, and that they're the news' invisible foundations. She acknowledges that the viewers at home are unable to see Alex, but that they're always present, keeping them afloat.

After a sigh, she mentions that the news team can see them, however, and that she saw them the other day in the corridor. She asks if they remember, adding on that she tried to catch their eye but that she thinks Alex must have been deep in thought due to them walking past her like she wasn't there.

Megan pauses, then tells Alex that she tries to sit in their eyeline in the canteen some days, retracting her statement soon after and saying that she does so everyday. She scratches her head, informing them that she knows it's wrong, and that they're married. She sits back upright, telling Alex that she's done some digging and found out the fact that they risked being arrested to help Chris, and that they stretched themselves to let Suzie go traveling. Megan adds on that Alex isn't a pushover parent either, and that they kept Charlie safe even if he resents them for it, or, at least, that what he told her when she talked to him.

She then tells Alex not to worry, as she wore a disguise and spoke in a different accent so he wouldn't recognize her voice. She scratches the back of her head once more, stating that she isn't crazy, and that she doesn't want Alex to think that she would ever do something to hurt their children. After pausing, she says that Sam's lucky to have Alex, proceeding to ask that, in the instance something were to happen to Sam, if Alex could possibly love her.

Megan stutters, then informing Alex that, in the instance Sam were to have a terrible accident, it obviously wouldn't be at that moment, adding on that she knows they love their family. She then whispers, once again repeating her question that, in the instance something were to happen, and Sam took a massive electric shock and went into a sort of coma, if they could and would love her then, devolving into hysterics as her statement continues. After regaining composure, and before the broadcast ends, Megan tells Alex to have a deceitful night.

#### Poetry in Megan

Megan, with astonished look on her face, states that the group's performance was unexpected, thanking them for it. She proceeds to inform the viewers that, before they leave for the night, that she believes there's enough time for her to read a viewer's poem. In the middle of her statement, she gets interrupted by an unheard voice on the earpiece, where she, in response, gives repeated affirmations to.

She chuckles, saying that the poem is called "My Parent Hates Their Children," adding on that it was sent by Suzie Winston, thanking her. Megan then proceeds to read the poem to the viewers:

"My parent hates their children.

My life's a fucking farse.

I wish that Chris would come

and kick my parent in the arse.

My parent is a tyrant,

treats my brother like a fool.

They think if they let Chaz go out,

he'll end up skipping school.

My parent is a hypocrite,

who makes our lives a bore.

But when our Chris was running off,

my parent broke the law.

But my parent isn't mortified,

and hasn't shown regret.

And that fucking double standard

makes me want a cigarette.

My house is like a prison

so I schemed a great escape:

to travel 'round the continent,

my plans were taking shape.

And I costed it all so carefully,

I made a thorough list,

and didn't ask 'till Christmas time,

when everyone was pissed.

But although I asked quite nicely,

it was thrown back in my face.

'Cause my parent hates their children,

and I hate this fucking place.

My parent hates their children,

and if I may be blunt,

the feeling is reciprocal,

my parent is a cunt."

Megan exclaims that the poem is powerful stuff, reminding the viewers that the poem was by Suzie Winston, remarking that it's probably about Alex. She chuckles, stating that that is all the time they have for the night. Before the broadcast ends, Megan tells the viewers to have a wasteful night.

#### Mummy Wolfe

Megan thanks all of the night's guests, and after initial hesitation, asks if Alex would have a minute or two for a quick chat (though not directly mentioning their name), remarking that she'll pop the kettle on and has got their favorite biscuits. Addressing them as "petal", she states that her and Alex's dad love them, and that she knows while he doesn't show it, it's just his way, and that he'll tell them on his deathbed just like his father did. She continues, adding on that he'll also perhaps break down one Christmas, and no-one will mention it again.

She sighs, informing Alex that "it's your marriage," and that while even knowing how close Sam and Chris are, Alex has been quite selfish. She apologies for saying such, but continues to certify her claim, adding on that all Chris wanted was for them to commit a fairly-serious crime and help smuggle money out of the country, but they were busy thinking about themself. Megan adds on that 'poor Sam' is stuck in the middle, and while Alex is a good parent, that they've "ballsed it right up their daft apeth", and have embarrassed themself and their parents as a result of letting their children walk all over them. She shouts that they're awful, demanding that they have respect, and after a brief pause, claims that they're not angry but simply just disappointed.

Megan finishes by stating that she does hope Alex will do better in future. Before the broadcast ends, signing off as "Mummy Wolfe", she tells Alex to have a remorseful night.

#### Musical Megan

Megan thanks the group for what she's sure is bound to be a classic in children's entertainment, then saying that they'll see how it's really done. Following that, she snaps her fingers, which results in the color of the broadcast turning to black and white, as well as causing music to be played.

She begins speaking again, saying that before they wrap up the news tonight, she just wanted to spend a moment talking to Alex directly and that she knows they think it's gotten complicated back at their homestead, but that there's something they should now. Megan continues, saying that Alex likes to think that they've got their family ruled, that feelings have cooled, and that they're just ridiculed. She adds on that they think they're even-handed, but nobody is fooled, and that they clearly love their daughter more.

Megan tells Alex that they like to think that they have it under control, but informs them if that was their goal, that they better re-roll. She then asks them if they've had a few too many at the watering hole, repeating that they clearly love their daughter more. Megan goes on to state that Chris and Sam are broken because Alex was too scared of the law, and not willing to part with their passport, also adding on that Charlie is getting angry locked behind his bedroom door. She goes on to tell Alex that, despite the rest of their family being unsupportive of them, that Suzie thinks they're perfect due to being permitted to go on a holiday abroad. She then says that, yet again, they clearly love their daughter more, repeating the statement once more for a peaceful night, telling Alex that that's news.

The broadcast turns back to the original color, no longer black and white, as well as the music that was playing now ceasing to do so. Megan says that that is all the time they have for the night, and that they'll be back the next day when Jeremy will be wrestling an alpaca, and she will be naked. Before the broadcast ends, Megan tells Alex to have a treacle night.

#### Megan Winston

Megan thanks the group, mentioning that it's a wonderful way to end the show. She goes on to say that it hasn't been easy, but expresses disgust about how Alex isn't listening to her. She guesses that it's because of work, and says not to worry, as she won't be long.

She tells Alex that she's leaving, taking Suzie with her, and going to stay at Chris' for awhile, but tells them that they can keep Charlie since he's the only one of them that they treat with any compassion. She mentions how she just needs to think, going on to say that she's sick of her and Suzie being last on Alex's list, requesting them to stop thinking about work for five seconds. She then tells them to press the advert button and see what happens, proceeding to count down to the end of the segment.

#### The Reverend Wolfe

Megan, dressed as an angel and speaking in a Southern US accent, utters Mr. Bears name, then informs the viewers that there is time for the night's parable before the broadcast ends.

The parable talks of a man named Unlikely Brian who asks a question from a wise man, a foolish man, and a weird man. The question is how can the many weights of life be balanced.

The wise man answers saying that there are no riches greater than family.

The foolish man answers saying he'd heard a good tip for the camel race, and that it's a sure thing.

The weird man answers saying that two ears is just the right number, because there's no good places to put a third that isn't aesthetically upsetting. Although he did see the use for a second anus.

Unlikely Brian was puzzled by these statements, especially those of the foolish man and the weird man. Unknown to Unlikely Brian, the profound man and the practical man had the week off, and the foolish and weird men were the only ones available at the time.

What Unlikely Brian didn't reveal is that he was asking for a friend, namely Alex, who had enraged their spouse over a passport, treated their son Charlie like he was still a little baby, and was too miserly to even pay for their daughter's holiday.

Megan tells the viewers that that's all the time they have for the night, Before the broadcast ends, she signs off as Archangel Megan Wolfe, telling the viewers to have a heedful night.

## Break 3

### Devil Meg Cares

Megan turns to Jenny offscreen, telling her that she's just going to go smoke. She then asks Jenny if she can get Boseman on the phone, Megan saying she doesn't care if this is a dream, a bad trip, or a shock-induced coma, that she did not sign up to be dressed like a "slag doshing out wristies for a twenty." She continues, stating that she's a professional news anchor, not a fucking bogan, and that it's bad enough that Boseman makes her do an unconvincing accent the whole time.

She then tells Jenny to look at her skirt, saying that it's so short that Jenny can see her joot. Megan then turns to the camera, calling out Alex's name and suggests that they wake up, proceeding to call them a fucking pervert.

### Megany Donaldswolfe

Megan looks at Jenny offscreen, who is both unheard and unseen during the break, asking how her impression of Jeremy was. In response to a presumed reply, she asks if it was that bad, adding that she thought she did alright and had the voice down. Megan continues, stating that she did think about cutting her hair as well but didn't because it hides her tiny second head.

She then turns back to Jenny, asking if she knows where she can get a D.I.Y. model plane, continuing by telling her that she feels like she really needs to get into her inner Jeremy. Megan then gives Jenny an affirmative in regards to something, presumably about the model planes, adding on that a couple of cheap prostitutes should be acquired as well.

### Mad Megs

Once she's off air, she says it's a God-given relief to use her own voice for a second, that the voice she's been using for 10 years has messed with her. She invites Jenny for drinks. Jenny's response is not heard, but based on Megan's reaction, it's clear she declines. Megan says, referring to the roving horde of Mrs Snugglehugs toys that, "They're only toys!" She asks again, this time adding that they'd do it "while we wait for Alex to wake up from that coma." Finally, she repeatedly tells Alex to wake up.

### Poetry in Megan

Megan tells Jenny that was "a belter," says she needs a "snout and a drink," then says she's "gan yem to me scratcha" and adds that she's "clamming." She then asks her if she thinks Alex "is goin' micey in there," adding that that was "a proper bad shock." She then tells Alex to wake up.

### Mummy Wolfe

Megan takes her glasses off, apologizing to Alex for having to witness that. She then demands they pull their fucking socks up, claiming that it was just a massive electrical shock that's been causing havoc with Alex's marbles. She continues, yelling at them to fuck off, and repeatedly demanding that they get out.

### Megan Winston

Megan says of course, and that Alex always cared about the fucking job more than her. She mentions that she's done with them and never loved them, adding that they meant nothing to her just like Suzie and she mean nothing to Alex. Megan then goes on to inform them that she's been seeing someone else and that they laugh at Alex, and the kids will forget all about them soon enough. She tells Alex goodbye, and after a short pause calls out to them, which then turns into shouting.

### Musical Megan

Megan expresses disgust, telling someone off-screen to just give her a beer, adding on that she's famished. She takes a sip, turning back to the person off-screen and asking them what that piss is. Megan continues, asking them if they'd think she'd be happy with it, mentioning that they're out of their mind.

She turns back to the camera, cursing under her breath as she notices that it's still on. She calls out to Alex, which then turns into shouting.

### The Reverend Wolfe

Megan turns to someone offscreen, asking if they're done. She laughs, telling them that she thought she was going to piss herself throughout the whole parable. She continues, telling them that she has to go get her bits done, and that she's seeing a guy again tonight.

Megan tells them that, at the end of the day, he makes her fanny flutter. She then demands they get out of her house, turning to the screen and demanding Alex does as well, telling them that she doesn't want them here when she's on her date. She calls out to Alex, telling them to wake up, which then turns into shouting.

Regardless of which Megan is acquired, Jenny and Dave will shout at Alex to wake up during the break. While this is occurring, several Mrs. Snugglehugs armed with the weapon of choice chosen in the headlines will appear around them, before all jumping towards Alex. This sequence also unlocks the unmissable **Love's Labours Hugged** achievement.
