Note: this is not a transcript, but a working draft of the script, so there may be differences in the aired version.
PAUL:	Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to the 
contest we go !

It’s time to play “What’s That 
Noise From Nfld.”

This might be your lucky day, 
you could win a lovely Great 
Eastern tee-shirt, just in time 
for Xmas giving.

Hollis Duffett, furnish us with 
that seasonal sound !

SFX:	THAT NEW NOISE

That’s it ... my oh my, there’s 
lots of clues in there for the 
discerning puzzle solver.  It’s 
gettable, but it’s a toughy.

Seeing as how we’re not going to 
be playing the contest game for 
a couple of weeks - seasonal 
programming exemptions being 
what they are - Ish Lundrigan 
has given me allowance to draw 
two letters this week.

So, down into the mail bag of 
destiny I go for entry numero 
uno ... and here’s an e-mail all 
the way from ... Waterloo, 
Ontario ... helloo, Waterloo, 
heh-heh-heh.  And it’s from 
David Fiander, and David writes:

“Rather frighteningly, I 
recognise the current noise from 
Newfoundland.”

Hmmm ... wonder why that’d upset 
you, David.

“It's a clip from a documentary 
produced in the 30's or 40's by 
a Newfoundland adventurer about 
his trips to the Arctic ocean 
and North Atlantic.  The only 
problem of course is that I'm 
buggered if I can remember his 
name; but I do remember that he 
was very popular on the social 
circuit in New York and Boston 
at the time.”

Ooooohh, David Fiander, of 
Waterloo, Ontario, you are 
soooooo close !  Can we accept 
this entry, quiz judge Hollis 
Duffett ?

Nooooo !  Oh my, that’s as close 
as we’ve ever come without 
actually giving away the prize !

Hollis, you are playing hard to 
get.

Once more into the bag of dreams 
I go.

And here’s another ... letter, I 
guess ... and it’s all the way 
from ...

CHOOSE ACTUAL LETTER

And Hollis, how about that one?

SFX:	THE WINNING THEME !!!

Yes, you are a winner !  Capt 
Bob Bartlett, explorer 
extraordinaire, was indeed our 
mystery sound !

A Great Eastern tee will be on 
its way to you first thing next 
week.  Congratulations to ...

And of course, when someone 
correctly identifies the noise 
from Nfld, we introduce you to a 
new noise !

Noise monger Hollis Duffett, 
give us the skinny on the new 
one !

SFX:	THE NEW NOISE

If you think you know what the 
new hullabaloo is, then you just 
gotta enter the What’s That 
Noise From Nfld contest.  

Mail your guess in an envelope 
clearly destined to the contest 
at The Great Eastern, c/o the 
BCN, 342 Duckworth St., St. 
John’s, Nfld., A1C 1H5.

All the way from Nova Scotia 
now, here’s Sunfish with “Me and 
You and Maryjane.”
