Good evening. Here is the news for Parrots. No parrots were involved in an accident on the M1 today when a lorry carrying high-octane fuel was in collision with a bollard. That’s a bollard and not a parrot. A spokesman for parrots said he was glad no parrots were involved. The Minister of Technology _(photo of minister with parrot on his shoulder)_ today met the three Russian leaders _(cut to photograph of Brezhnev, Podgorny and Kosygin all in a group and each with a parrot on his shoulder_) to discuss a £4 million airliner deal…_(cut back to narrator)_ None of them went in the cage, or swung on the little wooden trapeze or ate any of the nice millet seed yum, yum.

Oh, I am afraid our life must seem very dull and quiet compared to yours. We are but eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between sixteen and nineteen and a half, cut off in this castle with no one to protect us! Oh, it is a lonely life: bathing, dressing, undressing, making exciting underwear. We are just not used to handsome knights.
