Show Transcription:
I.T. Talk
IT DIRECTOR: You were warned in the interview that it is key to us you fit in with our work ethic. But, someone with your experience and qualifications will not find that difficult at all.
MARK: Absolutely.
IT DIRECTOR: Shall we do this then. When I open the door there we shall cross into the I.T. zone which means that we can no longer behave in the same way. Is that ok with you?
MARK: Lets live it….
IT DIRECTOR: I’m glad you said that because that’s exactly how we see things too!
SFX: Door opens
IT DIRECTOR: Past that line there is Sally, one of our brightest and best.
SALLY: span equals more than sign who are you colon equals more than sign backslash equals more than sign.
MARK: Huh?
IT DIRECTOR: span equals less than sign b equals more than sign HTML ONLY equals less than sign back slash b equals more than sign.
MARK: Can we go back, please?
IT DIRECTOR: Do you not know HTML? You said in your “href CV” you were proficient in it?
MARK: Well, I know it.
IT DIRECTOR: But, are you telling me you don’t speak it?
MARK: No, I don’t speak it. Who speaks in HTML?
SALLY: We all speak it here.
IT DIRECTOR: STOP HYPHEN OX00000001E OXF24A447A COMMA….contract has been terminated.. Close bracket you’d better leave. Enter.
MARK: Unhappy face
IT DIRECTOR: That’s emoji you fool. Just get out.

F/X UPBEAT BACKGROUND MUSIC
Advertiser Are you retired and bored? Fed up of whiling away the hours watching Countdown and repeats of Antiques Roadshow? Then why not get “CrapGadgets”, the new monthly catalogue? It’s packed with gizmo ideas to deal with hundreds of household problems you never knew existed before.
Woman I used to lie in, have a leisurely breakfast and read the paper in the morning with a cup of tea but I just don’t have time now I’ve found CrapGadgets. It’s given me so much to do!
Advertiser Yes, from special tools to scrape leaves out of your guttering, to spikey sandals for you to aerate your lawn, you need never find yourself at a loose end again!
Man I didn’t know that an unaerated lawn was a problem until I read “CrapGadget.” Now I spend hours in my spikey sandals walking up and down to make little holes!
Woman And I don’t know how I managed before I bought this tin can compacter. Now I have to set my alarm early, just to get through the day’s tin can crushing!
Man And sometimes I open extra tins and throw the contents away, just so I’ve got more cans to crush!
Advertiser Yes never again will you need to idle the afternoon away watching repeats on TV and the aptly named “Pointless.” Why would you: “CrapGadget” reveals a host of pointless activities of your own!
Man I’ve got no time for golf or friends anymore!
Woman And I’ve had to quit the WI and give up seeing my grandchildren …
Together since we discovered “CrapGadget”!
