GE 1996-7 Season 3 Episode 11: Noise
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.”
