CAPTION: Act Two - A Room in Polonius's House
Cut to Frank Bough type presenter. Behind him are sports
pictures.
Presenter: Hello, and welcome to `A Room in Polonius's
House'. Well tonight is European Cup night. One result is already in
from Munich. The European Cup, first round, second leg, Bayern
München 4397, Wrexham 1. So Wrexham going through there on
aggregate. Well, now it's time for racing, so let's go over to Epsom
and Brian McNutty.
Cut to a dentist's surgery. A dentist is filling a patient. He
talks to camera.
CAPTION: Live from Epsom
Dentist: Well over here at Epsom, there are chances
a-plenty for those who want to make a good start in ...:
Patient: Dentistry.: Dentist: Dentistry. It's a well-off
suburb, so most people have their own teeth and surgeries are
opening at a rate of four or five a week.
Cut to housewife in a back garden standing in front of a
washing line with really nasty stained washing on it: some man's
trousers with very nasty stain on crotch and running down the leg; a
badly torn sheet with melted chocolate biscuit stuck on it; a huge
bra, with cups eighteen inches across; two pieces of bacon and a
fried egg pegged on the line; and more dirty washing.
CAPTION: Live from Epsom
Housewife: Well, it's only forty-four minutes from the
West End on the train and it's not too built up, so you can have a
nice garden. And the people of Epsom are a very nice class of
person.
Cut to a property developer in a main street.
CAPTION: Live from Epsom
Property Developer: Well here in High Street Epsom, there
are ample opportunities for all kinds of redevelopment. As you can
see (he indicates old houses) behind me now there are a high
level of low density consumer units, still not fully maximizing site
value. This could be radically improved by a carefully planned
program of demolition. And of course most of the occupants are ...
er ... elderly folks, so they wouldn't put up much of a fight.
