GE 1996-7 Season 3 Episode 9: Noise
Note: this is not a transcript, but a working draft of the script, so there may be differences in the aired version.
PAUL: It’s celebration time ! Today
we observe the first
anniversary of the nouveau
noise, it’s one week old.
Alright, let’s play “What’s
That Noise From Nfld.”
Hollis Duffett, let’s hear
what it is that it is !
SFX: THAT NEW NOISE
There you go, get familiar
with that new sound. Now, in
to the entries we dive.
Here’s a letter all the way
from ... St. Louis de Ha Ha,
Quebec, our half sister to the
east, and it’s from Mirielle
Gamache, Bonjour Mirielle, et
Mirielle ecrive, “Dear Paul,
We, my husband and I,
absolutely love The Great
Eastern. Every Saturday
morning we sit around and
watch the radio, just like our
parents did in the old days.
We have a guess for the
contest. Is that Captain
Lloyd Duncan in his memorable
rôle of Queeqeg ? It would be
excerpted from the Orson
Welles / BCN production of
Welles’s adaptation of “Moby
Dick” aired on Playlets in the
early `40’s.”
And that’s signed, your
Francophone Fans, Mirielle et
Alexandre Gamache.
Good guess, Mirielle, but not
the right one. We should air
some of Welles’s BCN work here
sometime.
Just for you, now, here’s one
more listen to the mystery
noise.
SFX: THE NOISE
If you think you know that
noise, then you must enter the
What’s That Noise From Nfld
contest.
It’s easy ! Just send your
guess in an envelope clearly
marked “contest”, to 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 “----
