Midlands Today: Who farted?

A normal day at Pebble Mill and a normal programme began.........

Then suddenly, a smell began to become noticeable. Nick Owen tried to keep composure as this pungent aroma became stronger...

It was unmistakable. Someone had had a high-fibre breakfast and the result was infecting the olfactory facilities of everyone. But who had produced this smell? Detectives set to work.

Was Nick holding in the second round in as hard as he could? He was certainly sitting oddly and Sue kept smiling... was she the mistress of emotional disguise?

The detective displayed a map of the region under most suspicion. Where did the originator of this Mighty Whiff live?

The detective put up the Prime Suspect's Wanted poster... but WAS he the one what done it?

Was the sports presenter trying to score a nasally overpowering goal?

Why was Shefali standing so far from Nick and Sue?

The detective decided to put a tracer on this foul odour and called all the main suspects into the room as the tracer calculated its result. Everyone was tense....

The tracer results were in.... It WASN'T any of them! Who was it? It was.......

NGGGGG, nearly there! Come on!

Nearly there! Another Nose-buster on it's way......

Ahhhhhh....... the relief of it!

'Now, head Birmingham-ward my beautiful creation!' Helen said as she blew it to help it on its way.....

The very next day, Helen was doing time in Wormwood Scrubs for causing Environmental pollution on a wide scale. 'Twas she that let rip....

THE END.

TRULY FANTASTIC KATHERINE!!!

I haven't laughed so much in years.

I hope if I provide more pictures like this, you'll be able to produce more like this.

Oh,man that is so funny!LOL!! : :

Stu (laughing his head off)

LOL LOL LOL

KATHERINE! Another brilliant job! Great work on the slideshow! You are a fountain of creativity aren't you...


Hmm... maybe it's time for another spoof BBC One Ident:

'Now Midlands Today with... *sniff* wot's that smell? *sniff* God, that's terrible *cough* *choke* ACH! Can't breathe... *cough**choke* it's... it's... PHIL...POT! ... *choke*'

: : :

REQUEST: Can anyone provide me a clean version of the same exact ident as the one used before the start of Midlands Today? It doesn't have to say BBC One Midlands, but it has to be similar and with no voiceovers... Thanks!

Katherine - are you sure it was nothing to do with Paul Hudson?

Absolutely not!

Thats a mighty nice desk the've got there!

For some reason, the Midlands Today studio looks real nice in those pictures compared to the other BBC regional studios... The desk is new, the skyline behind the presenters is very nice, and all sorts of things...

I think it's the lighting, God bless the crew! :

I have to say this is the funniest thread on the forum. Respect!
