the interview. At the end you’ll throw back to both presenters.
Remember that the audience is in the camera, so try to start and finish the interview
looking directly at the Camera, but look at the interviewee when you are talking to him /
her / them. Don’t forget to react to what they are saying. And this is the Big Bad Wolf
we’re talking about, a dangerous, frightening creature, so you can be a little intimidated...
The Big Bad Wolf: You’re the most dangerous, the baddest, most feared being in the
Land, so act accordingly—you can be aggressive, arrogant, intimidating, tough, mean, nasty —
or else you can be softly spoken and quietly misunderstood, and tired of being seen as a criminal
when you’re actually a very sensitive, lovely creature who can’t help wanting to eat people...
If you have a posse or a gang with you, make sure they back you up with a lot of noise...

Hansel & Gretal: Abandoned by your Father and Stepmother, caught by a witch and
almost eaten, you escaped by being a clever pair of kiddies and outwitting everyone.
Obviously, you may still be traumatised and upset by what has happened to you—and
rightly so— and the publishing of your new book “Blackbirds Ate Our Breadcrumbs: The
Hansel & Gretal Story” would bring back a lot of unhappy memories, but you’re survivors,
and you’re young, rich and free…!

used to a world of celebrity and glamour—and gossip!
Beauty & The Beast: You two famous lovebirds are a super-celebrity couple, a pair of
gossip-magazine regulars, whose opposites-attract romance captured people’s hearts.
Your grand and lavish wedding was watched by millions, but since then, however, things
haven’t been so flash and rumour is that your marriage is on the rocks and your massive
differences are finally tearing you apart.
What do you think? Are you still in love or do you hate each other now because you
argue too much about who hasn’t done the dishes?
WEATHER PRESENTATION
4
Thank you (presenters 1 & 2).
Well, it’ll be a mix of fair and foul for the Far Away kingdom this week, as far as I can tell.
In the North, there will be gumdrops, lollipops and rainbows for
everybody, the sun will shine upon the meadows, and birds will sing from your shoulders until
about mid-day on Tuesday, when a wicked wind blows in from the East and a dark cloud covers
the land...
The Deep Dark Forest will be deep and dark all week, with
occasional sunny spells along with the usual witchy spells,
especially after sundown.
You might want to leave your little red hood at home if you’re going out for a walk in the woods
tomorrow, where it’ll be warm and dry, about 15 degrees and quiet… too quiet…
Moving down the Land, the Green Fields of the countryside will be turned snow -white overnight
on Wednesday — wrap up warm it you’re living in a house made of sticks, straw or
gingerbread ’cos it’ll be fe-fi-fo freezing!
Finally, Trolls living under bridges in The West might want to find a beanstalk to climb up on Friday, as rivers will swell up and flood following heavy rain overnight.
Otherwise, it’s happy ending to the working week for most of us.

Well, that’s all as far as I can see. Good day to you all, back to the news desk _(presenter 1)_

PERFORMANCE NOTES
Read through this script a few times to get a feel for what it says and how you want to
say each piece. The script will be on the Autocue for you in the Studio, so you don’t need to
memorise anything— but the more familiar with it you are the more comfortable you’ll be.
You’ll need to practice a few times with the Autocue Operator too.
The video of the Weather Map that plays behind you is supposed to keep up with you—if it
goes too fast or too slow, the Tech Producer will (hopefully) fix it, so just concentrate on
delivering your script and the Map will catch up to you.
Also, you don’t need to be exactly spot-on when you point to whatever place you’re talking
about—you can just wave your hand in the general direction to indicate the place you mean—
just so long as you look good doing it—that’s the important thing!
MARKETPLACE REPORT
5
Well, as the market closed yesterday, Golden Eggs had fallen by 2 points after reports of a spell
being cast to clone the Goose that Lays the Golden Egg. Some Golden Eggs on the market may
not be authentic.
Magic Beans have fallen to an all time low and are now worth less than half a cow. The Magic
Bean Company is under investigation after a flood of complaints saying the magic beans were
nothing but horrible old broad beans, which are disgusting, and no-one likes.
And finally The Emperor’s New Clothing Co-op has shut up shop for good, after being found guilty
of fraud and false advertising.
Well, so much for the Marketplace Report, back to you ________ and _______.

PERFORMANCE NOTES
The Marketplace in Far Away Land is like a fruit and vegetable market or a street
market, full of hawkers shouting out their deals, everybody trying to outdo each other.
As Marketplace reporter, you’re the man / woman on the street, with your ear to the
ground, telling the people where it’s at. You’re streetwise, tough, and maybe a little bit
shady, but you know a deal when you see one.
