Once upon a time, there was an enchanted prince, who ruled the land beyond the wobbles. One day, he discovered a spot on his face. Foolishly, he ignored it…and three years later, he died of cancer. The spot, however, flourished, and soon set out to seek its fortune.

Well, let’s see what we’ve got next. In a few moments, ‘It’s a Tree’, and in the chair as usual is Arthur Tree, and starring in the show will be a host of star guests as his guest stars, and then, at 9.30, we’ve got another rollocking half-hour of laughter-packed squalor with ‘Yes, It’s the Sewage Farm Attendants’.

ARTHUR TREE: Hello. Hello people, and welcome to ‘It’s a Tree’. We have some really exciting guests for you this evening: a fabulous spruce, back from a tour of Holland; three gum trees making their first appearance in this country; Scots pine and the conifers, and Elm Tree Bole… there you go; can’t be bad… an exciting new American plank, a rainforest and a bucket of sawdust giving their views on teenage violence, and an unusual guest for this programme, a piece of laminated plastic.

PIECE OF LAMINATED PLASTIC: Hi there!

Then did we bust the Harry Tony mob, who did seek to import Scandinavian filth via Germany. For six years they cleaned up a packet - came the day I got whiff of them through a squealer and within one week did a mop-up right good. They’re now languishing, doing five years’ bird in Parkhurst.
