Little Grimley presents Strictly Sex Factor (on ice)
By David Tristram
The Little Grimley Amateur Society are faced with yet another threat to their very existence. Reality TV shows have ravaged their Saturday night audiences, which in their hey-day used to occasionally reach double figures. Never one to take these things lying down, Chairman Gordon has devised a cunning plan to compete head-on – their very own live Saturday night blockbuster, combining the best of all the other formats. All they need now is an audience, some contestants, four judges, a mirror ball… oh, yes, and some ice.

Streuth
By Gordon Ramsbottom (aka Michael Green)
Hilariously, everything which can go wrong in a production does so. Streuth is the crime story Agatha Christie would never have dared to write. Cues are missed, effects fail and props are lost and confusion reigns, but the coarse actors struggle on.
