 Penguin on the Telly (from Monty Python's Flying Circus)

 (voice over)  Number ninety-seven: a radio.

 voice on radio: And now the BBC is proud to present a brand new
                 radio drama series: The Death of Mary,
                 Queen of Scots.  Part One: The Beginning.
 (music)

 man's voice: Yoo arrr Mary, Queen of Scots?
 woman's voice: I am!
 (sound of violent blows being dealt, things being smashed, awful
 crunching noises, bones being broken, and other bodily harm being
 inflicted.  All ofthis accompanied by screaming from the woman.)

 (music fades up and out)

 voice: Stay tuned for part two of the Radio Four Production of
        "The Death of Mary, Queen of Scots", coming up...almost
        immediately.

 (music)
 (sound of saw cutting, and other violent sounds as before, with
 (the woman screaming.  Suddenly it is silent.)

 man's voice: I think she's dead.
 woman's voice: No I'm not!

 (sounds of physical harm and screaming start again.)

 (music fades up and out)
 voice: that was episode two of "The Death of Mary, Queen of Scots",
        specially adapted for radio by Gracie Fields and Joe
        Frazier.  And now, Radio Four will explode.

 (music)

 the radio explodes.

 two old women are sitting on the couch listening to the radio when
 it explodes.  One looks at the other:

 1: We'll have to watch the Telly-vision!
 2: Aaaaw.
 (they turn the couch so it's facing the television.  One turns the
 television on, and they sit down.  There is a small penguin sitting
  on top of the television set.)

 1 & 2: (singing, mumbled)  hhmhmhmhmh... mhmmhmh mhmhm hhmhmmhm
        mhmhmmhmhmh
 1: What's that on top of the telly-vision set?
 (pause)
 2: (matter-of-factly) Looks like a penguin.
 1: What's it doin' there?
 2: It's sittin'.
 1: I can see that!  I meant, why's it there?
 2: (pause) I don't know.
 1: Where'd it come from?
 2: Well, it must have come from the zoo.
 1: It can't have come from the zoo!  If it had come from the zoo
    it would have "Property of the Zoo" stamped on it!
 2: They don't stamp animals "Property of the Zoo"!!!  You can't
    stamp a huge lion!!
 1: (resolute)  They stamp them when they're small.
 2: Besides, penguins don't come from the zoo!  they come from the
    antartic!

 (the television warms up: a man is sitting behind a news desk)

 man:  And now the penguin on top of your television set will
       explode.

 (the penguin explodes)

 1: 'Ow did 'e know that was going to happen?!

 man: it was an educated guess.  And now:

 voice over:   Number ninety-eight: the nape of the neck.
