An undiscovered fragment of radio drama

Visible to anyone in the world

Fade up.  Indoors, suburban street noise coming through open window.  Occasional shouts in background.

WOMAN:       What are you doing?  You’ve been staring out of that window for two hours.

MAN:             I’m not doing anything.  I’m trying to work out what those nutters are up to, over there.

WOMAN:       Why is that important?

MAN:             Why is that important?  It is important because we are an outwardly respectable couple.  I am an outwardly respectable man, and you are an outwardly respectable woman.  We don’t want undesirables coming round here, disrupting our accustomed routine and de-valuing our property.

He has been watching her every day for some time now. He knows what time it will be when she crosses the school playground.

Joke

Visible to anyone in the world

I decided to risk telling the first joke I had ever learnt, at the age of five, to my step-son, who was ten, and sitting at a table in an American restaurant at the time of my decision.   The joke as I remembered it went as follows...

Featherhead

Visible to anyone in the world

She follows me everywhere I go.  When it started, about a year ago, I only saw her occasionally, but now it is almost constant.  Sitting in this pub, I can see her reflection in the glass covering the picture above the fire-place.  There is nothing which corresponds to the object causing the reflection. 

I call her ‘Featherhead’.
