Before we go any further we really need a little Deeley in our lives - it's compulsory! Look at him!!
Sometimes it is difficult to type out Cuthbert's lines - and he's been playing an increasingly important role in recent episodes. Here is an example of one of his scripts from episode 356 - he's very good at learning his lines, but sometimes they have to be wrongly typed for him to say them correctly; sometimes he doesn't even get them right then...
But it's not his fault though - it's just his inner programming; we'll get there one day...
Anyway, here is an example of one of his scripts - with all the Cuthbert "spelling mistakes" that hopefully will enable him to say that all-important lines correctly!
"Hello listeners - it is me, Cuthbert the robot...
I am here to guide you through some episodes of Sutton Park that have recent-lee been returned to the archives; one day soon we may even release the actual episode that you will be hearing and then you will also be able to watch it as a video - but there are plenty of intriguing things that you can listen 2 right now...
When you listen to words and conversations you are not distracted so much by the prittee pictures or the silly haircuts - you hear the words - real-lee hear them and you take in their meaning...
Anyway... I am going to set the scene for you now...
The episode that we will be listening to is episode 3025 of Sutton Park - one of the later editions - the day is Tuesday the 20th of July 1999; almost 21 years ago at the time that this episode of our podcast is being released.
It is a beautiful summers day - quite different from the summer that we have been having right here and now in 2020...
2020 is a very strange year, as you probab-lee alreddy know...
Anyway... In episode 3025 there we are - in a quaint English village... We are in fact in a village which is near Salisbury in Wiltshire...
Have you guessed where we are yet?
Yes! Indeed... You guessed, right... Well... I guess you did... I can't hear you, sad-lee; this isn't the way that podcasts work... Still, I know you to be super intelligent listeners and so yes, I'm pritty certain that you will have guessed correct-lee where we are...
Clever clever listeners!
So... There we are - in the village of Yetee Manors...
We are standing outside the house where Paul and his brother Graham grew up... Nick is there and he is holding a video camera - he has a friend with him too; her name is George... Actual-lee we did meet George here on the podcast and quite recent-lee too...
Do you recall?
George was the lady who Nick talked 2 in episode 335 of The Shy Life Podcast - released in May, but recorded in January 2020...
21 episodes ago...
That's weird - by coincidence the footage is from 21 years ago...
What does it all mean? Is there some connection?
I doubt it, you know... We just like to tease you a bit...
But yes... George was the lady who was talking to us about Bruce Lee and Jac-kee Chan films; when she spoke to us recent-lee she was visiting Nick for the first time in menny years...
Well - in our video here - from 1999 - she was also visiting Nick then too...
Oh, so long ago...
Anyway! Paul, Nick and George are exploring the village where Paul grew up and Nick is busy filming and Paul must obvious-lee have been filming too or there would be no episode... The three of them head out across the fields - talking and chatting... although something does appear 2b slight-lee wrong...
For some reason Paul seems 2b very keen to discuss matters with Nick in private...
But why?
Most curious... Why don't you listen and see what events unfold?"
Next time we'll be looking at some of the episodes that were released at the end of July - into the start of August; leading up to a couple weeks off from work where I'll be recording some new shows...
That's all for now...
Take care - more soon,
Yeti hugs,
Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx
