Who’s That On The Telephono?

   The doctor………. Well he’s so enthusiastic about his work, he lets himself get carried away you know……….oh you don’t know……..splendid……..oh he’ll be no trouble, its just a matter of time…………..The Ball, tomorrow night, we’re preparing for it now…………… you don’t say………….oh you do say………… you’ll be there……….how shall I know you?...........Oh I see, you’re coming as yourself, that should prove interesting!
   Interesting……..especially when one considers the eventual identity of Number 1. Number 2 wasn’t to know that she made Number 1 the cabaret act by putting him on trial. However it was nice to see Number 1 throwing himself into the part of the Prisoner by asking what is his crime? In fact I’m surprised Number 2 was allowed get away with that, because she must have known who Number 1 was, standing there without a costume, he stuck out like a sore thumb having gone to the Ball as himself! But he certainly led Number 2 a merry dance, not to mention the people chasing him though the halls of the Town Hall. Number 1 told Number 2 “You’ll never win.” To which she responded “Then how very uncomfortable for you old chap.” It’s no wonder we do not see this particular Number 2 again, having made a threat like that!

    Production footnote: It would appear that continuity {Doris Martin} didn’t point out to Mary Morris that she was using the wrong coloured prop. That should be a red telephone, not a turquoise one!

Be seeing you
