Script to Ear: The Eeeeeeh Man Cometh

Here’s an example of the original version of a script, and then how it sounded when it was produced (you can listen to it at the bottom).

 

EEEEH MAN
‘Ello. Did you know? I’m a big fan of George Formby? I know all his catchphrases! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!

LEE B
What’s going on? Where’s Dr. Strangeglove?

EEEEEEEH MAN
eeeeh he’s not here. Heeeeeee’s in Holly Woo making a film. Eeeeeeh.

LEE B
So who are You?

EEEEEEEEEH MAN
I’m the EEEEEEEEH MAN!

CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP

LEE B
well, Eeeh man. Would you say you’re pleased to be on the show tonight?

EEEEEEEEH MAN
eeeeeeeeh yes!

LEE B
And, have you got a straaaaaaaaaange tale to tell us all today?

EEEEEEEEEH MAN
No.

LEE B
Why not?

EEEEEEEEEH MAN
Because I’m the Eeeeeeeh man that’s why. I don’t DO straaaaaaaaaaange tales.

LEE B
What do you do then?

EEEEEEEEH MAN
well I sit around and go “eeeh”

LEE B
I see.

EEEEEEH MAN
No, not C. “E”. EEEEEEEH!

LEE B
Right, and just to confirm, your favourite letter of the alphabet is-

EEEEEEEEEH MAN
F

LEE B
F? Are you sure its not E?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEH MAN
No.

LEE B
No you’re not sure or no its not E?

Pause.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEH MAN
Only joking! It is E! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

LEE B
Oh dear me…

Hopefully Dr. Straaaaaaangeglove will be back with some more of his straaaaaaaange tales. I want to hear more about that toaster story, it sounds really spooky…

And here’s what it sounded like when we made it.
