Subject: RE: Jimmy Savile :-( UK disc jockey
Lizzie and Eliza - a sitcom about two nice girls in the swinging 60's
(another gentle , totally unfunny comedy probably by Carla Lane)

Scene One Lizzieand Liza's swinging groovy pad. Janis Ian's At Seventeen is playing on the radio. the television is on with the ound turned down - it is showing Ken Russell's film about Debussy, showing a girl doing a striptease to La mer. Outside the window is a Vietnam demonstration going on. The American flag is being burned.

Lizzie and Eliza are there obviously.

Lizzie; I say Eliza that Tony Blackburn doesn't half play some dreary music, what on earth is this one about?
Eliza; Oh its about this girl and she's frustrated..
Lizzie: I can't understand that, i'm never frustrated Except when homework's really hard, and i can't finish it before bedtime, or if they've run out of peardrops..
Lizzie: never mind, Blue peter's in abit - that will cheer us both up. Its like you say though, I never seen anyone frustrated in Middlesex.
Elize: Blue peter How super! Princess Anee is a special guest with her wizard new pony!
Lizzie: Yes and the funny little man with a dog is making things with toilet rolls
Eliza; (sighs) gosh! Its so much fun having so much freedom in this permissive society.

(Next week The Nice Girls visit a folk club)
