    DEATH awaits you all...

    ARTHUR: _What manner of man are you that can conjure up fire without flint_or tinder?
    TIM:I am an enchanter.
    ARTHUR looks at BEDEVERE.
    ARTHUR:_By what name are you known?
    TIM: There are some who call me Tim.
    ARTHUR: Greetings Tim the Enchanter!
    TIM: _Greetings King Arthur.
    ARTHUR:_You know my name?
    TIM: _I do._(does another fire trick)_You seek the Holy Grail.
    ARTHUR: That is our quest. You know much that is hidden O Tim.
    TIM: (does another fire trick)_Quite.
    Ripple of applause from the KNIGHTS.
    ARTHUR: Yes we seek the Holy Grail._(clears throat very quietly)_Our quest is to find the Holy Grail.
    ONE OR TWO KNIGHTS: Yes it is.
    ARTHUR: And so we're looking for it.
    KNIGHTS:_Yes, we are.
    BEDEVERE:_We have been for some time.
    KNIGHTS:_Yes.
    ROBIN: Months.
    ARTHUR: Yes ... and obviously any help we get is ... is very ... helpful.
    GALAHAD:_Do you know where it ...
    TIM does another fire trick.
    ALL OTHER KNIGHTS:_Sssssh!
    ARTHUR:_Fine ... well er ... we mustn't take up anymore of your time ..._I don't suppose ... sorry to sort of keep on about it ... you_haven't by any chance ... aaah ... any idea where one might_find ... a ... aaa ...
    TIM: What?
    ARTHUR:A G...g...g...
    TIM:_A Grail?
    They all jump slightly and look about apprehensively.
    ARTHUR:_Er ... yes ... I think so.
    ALL OTHER KNIGHTS:_Yes.
    TIM: Yes.
    KNIGHTS:_Fine.
    ROBIN:_Splendid!
    OTHERS:Yes, marvellous.
    TIM looks thoughtful and they all stand around a little. _Then TIM produces_another fire trick producing several different colours.
    ARTHUR: Look, you're a busy man ...
    TIM:_Yes, I can help you with your quest.
    Slight pause.
    ALL OTHER KNIGHTS:_Thank you. _Yes, thank you very much.
    TIM:_To the north there lies a cave, _the cave of Caerbannog,_wherein, carved in mystic runes, upon the very living rock,_the last words of Olfin Bedwere of Rheged ...
    There is a thunderclap and a wind starts. The KNIGHTS get nervous.
    TIM: _... make plain the last resting place of the most Holy Grail.
    ARTHUR:_How shall we find this cave, O Tim?
    TIM:_Follow!
    The KNIGHTS register delight and wheel round on themselves.
    But follow only if you are men of valour. _For the entrance to this cave is guarded by a monster, a creature so foul and cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. _Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair ... therefore sweet knights if you may doubt your strength or courage_come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty pointy teeth.
    +ARTHUR: What an eccentric performance!

            Did you hear Radio 4 this morning, between 8 & 8.30? A bloke on there reckons it wasn't very much. (seriously).

                I think they were filling (& plugging). Either way it was boring. I've had more fun talking to a dead parrot.
