Scene 1: Amateur Objective

Narrator: Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, well actually it was just on the North Yorkshire coast, but anyway, there was a hospital. Now this hospital was very lucky, because they had a magic Anaesthetic, which made all their operations go right.

But one day, sometime on a friday lunchtime before evening surgery began, they discovered that their Holy Anaesthetic had been stolen! They did not know what to do. All their operations kept going wrong. Mr Rose became irritated when patients insulted them, they woke up during operations for no apparent reason, or they slapped the doctors.

One day, a brave group of doctors decided enough was enough. A group of brave Knights set out to recover the Anaesthetic!

Sir Ormerod, The Brave!

(Appears, proudly carrying two empty halves of coconuts)

Sir Goodwin, The Not So Brave!

(Appears, brandishing a bread knife)

Sir Weatherill, The Keeper of the Mini!

(Appears, brandishing a sword)

Sir Klein, The Pure!

(Appears, brandishing a book on Psychiatry)

and Sir Cheriton (deceased), and thus aptly named Sir Not Appearing In This Adventure!

They knew they would face many dangers along the way, but bravely set off on their quest to recover the Holy Anaesthetic and restore Mr Rose's good mood, which had disintegrated rapidly, since he had less operations to perform, which led to limited smoking opportunities. Although, whether that would ever make him nice to Dr Goodwin, is debatable.

The Knights begin to ride away. Sir Ormerod is banging the two empty coconut halves together. Suddenly, Sir Ormerod drops one, and the whole party comes to a stand-still!

Amateurs!

The Knights look insulted and ride away.
