Opening remarks[]
- Robin: All television stations operate a foreign news service. With Troutbridge Television the news doesn't come from a staff of reporters abroad, it's usually a dodgy old bit of muck-raking which has been included in a letter from a relative of Mr Pertwee's living in the rough section of Cairo.
- Pertwee: That, Mr Boyle, is a great big fib. No Pertwee ever committed anything to paper in his life. We can't, none of us can write. Ha ha ha.
- Robin: That's possible, however every now and then a story from abroad is big enough to send out a film unit to cover it and that's what the deputy controller, Henry Povey, is contemplating this morning.
