Would have made an excellent episode for their radio show though!

I can imagine the hall being used by a youth group the night before and
the keyboard being left on Calypso Rock or some such setting. Dr Evadne
would be transposing fit to burst a girdle.


Hilda: Heavens Evadne, what on EARTH is that dreadful sound m'dear?

Evadne: It says here...."Hammond"

Hilda: Eh m'dear, wassat? Gammon? Gammon?? I always said you were
ham-fisted m'dear.

Evandne: Yes, very droll, thank you. No, not gammon, Hammond - I
believe it's some kind of organ.

Hilda: aside Spleen, I'll be bound.

Evadne: I hope I didn't hear what I thought I just I heard!

Hilda: If you can't make it sound any different that's precisely what
the audience will be saying. Try pressing a few buttons.

Evadne: Well, if you insist presses buttons, keyboard plays sampled
dog noises

Together: Ahh, Bach!

Regards,
