Play of the Day by Phil Drabble

 

It is Him

 

The scene: Mrs Doufries, solicitor of biker’s magazines, sound engineer, sandal wearer, secret Santa and sex therapist is visiting heaven, guiding in the new recruits

 

Mrs Doufries: Ah, Jimi, we’ve been expecting you; if you could just put your afro over there, you won’t be needing it here, empty your pockets, don’t worry, you’ll get it all free hear, plus there’s an inexhaustible supply (She winks and farts at the same time) - …mmm, fresh today…

 

Jimi: Lady, you got style, let’s share the good times

 

MD: Darling I am here but a few hours and I’ve got Jim Morrison and that gravel throated bitch to get through…

 

J: Argh, Janis…

 

MD: Yes, that’s her, rough as a badgers arse but flicks the pea and shoots every time, maybe we’ll all get together before I head back down. I’m trying to get that bastard Peter Frampton but the do-goody gob-shite won’t budge. Meet me on cloud 9 in ten.

 

J: cloud 9 in 10, cloud 9 in 10, cloud 9 in 10…

 

Narrator: Will Jimi make it to 9 in 10? Is Frampton’s time up? Will the Yanks ever stop moaning about stealing BP’s oil – Give it back; sat there just lapping it up ain’t yer, well, ain’t yer? Well, ain’t yer? Well… and now ladies and gentlemen the quiz:
