Today's Tedious Link:The Coral, In The Morning
Today's Transcript:"Where is the love" is what you might say to airport security staff if you were a celebrity chaperone and had been looking after Courtney Love but somehow lost her in Stansted Airport. Stansted Airport is in Essex which is where Denise Van Outen is from. Denise Van Outen is married to Lee Mead who played Joseph in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. Musical is how you might describe Sir Elton John, who's very good at playing the piano. A piano has keys that you play, but did you also know it has strings as well. Strings are also an integral part of a guitar or violin, which like a cello is played with a bow. 'Bo Selecta' is the programme that gave us Avid Merrion, who's played by actor and comedian Leigh Francis. Leigh Francis shares one name in common with Sir Francis Drake, who was a keen sailor. The plural of 'sailor' is 'sailors', who make up a large part of the Navy. Navy is also a colour, as in navy blue, and blue is the colour of the ocean around the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, where you will find an abundance of beautiful marine life swimming in and out of the coral, which links to The Coral and 'In The Morning'.
(pause) You look confused.
Chris: Yeah..no it doesn't. Aled, search, now.
Aled: Yeah, I'm on it.
Dave: Not The Coral?
Chris: It will be.
Dave: Okay...ah. Now. This is interesting.
Chris: Here we go. Time is up. I did my job.
Aled: I'm on it! Here we go!
Chris: Okay. Alright. Erm, so...leads you to The Coral and what, Dave?
Dave: Well, there's two ways of doing this. Either we could play The Coral, or I could just continue the link...
Chris: Well no...the song that has appeared on my screen, shouldn't that be played tomorrow?
Rachel (in background): No.
Chris: Why?
Rachel: Because...we should play it today.
Chris: Well wouldn't it make more sense tomorrow? Really, when you think about it?
Dave: I'm easy. I'm flexible. Let's play what we were supposed to play today...
Chris: Why have I got The Masterplan by Oasis down then? Let's not beat about the bush, that's what it says on my screen.
Dave: Because...it would be good to promote the fact that Noel Gallagher is in tomorrow, and ahead of our trip to Wembley Stadium to see the Oasis...
Chris: Yeah...so then we could play it tomorrow, when he's on the show.
tomorrow.
Dave: Well that makes everybody happy.
Chris: Right. So what do we play now, then? I'm confused.
Dave: Well why don't we play The Coral, and 'In The Morning'?
Chris: Would you like to hear 'In The Morning'? Right, done. Double click Aled, double click.
Aled: Done.
Chris: Ah, seamless! Look at it! Whose mistake is that, then?
Dave: Technically mine....
Flaws:Nothing to report today.
