Good evening and welcome to another edition of ‘Storage Jars’. On tonight’s programme Mikos Antoniarkis, the Greek rebel leader who seized power in Athens this morning, tells us what he keeps in storage jars. _(quick cut to photo of a guerrilla leader with a gun; sudden dramatic chord; instantly cut back to the presenter)_ From strife-torn Bolivia, Ronald Rodgers reports on storage jars there. _(still of a Bolivian city and again dramatic chord and instantly back to the presenter)_ And closer to home, the first dramatic pictures of the mass jail-break near the storage jar factory in Maidenhead. All this and more in “Storage Jars”! ---

The bbc would like to apologize to everyone in the world for the last item. It was disgusting and bad and thoroughly disobedient and please don’t bother to phone up because we know it was very tasteless, but they didn’t really mean it and they do all come from broken homes and have very unhappy personal lives, especially eric. Anyway, they’re really very nice people underneath and very warm in the traditional show business way and please don’t write in either because the bbc is going through an unhappy phase at the moment – what with its father dying and the mortgage and bbc 2 going out with men. ---
