                                 ENTER PRINCE CHARMING
JEREMY      You’ve been married 10 months, your wife has just given birth to a baby boy, and you are
            incredibly charming, what’s the problem?
PRINCE:     Well, Jeremy, its like this. I don’t think the baby is mine.
JEREMY:     The baby isn’t yours?
PRINCE:     He doesn’t look like me. He’s very small.
JEREMY:     Come on most newborn babies are small…what makes you think that he is any different?
                                 VT: Picture of a baby looking just like one Of the SEVEN DWARVES
PRINCE      Its not just me, mummy and daddy think so to.
JEREMY:     Mummy and Daddy!? How old are you? Grow up. You told my researchers that one of the things
            that made you suspicious was the fact he liked to dig in the back garden and he likes to sing.
PRINCE:     He’s always digging….Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig the whole day through
JEREMY:     All babies like digging..
PRINCE:     He dismantled his cot to make pit props. We’re up to ears in gold nuggets.
JEREMY:     What does the Princess say?
PRINCE:     She just says I’m being a silly old goose.
JEREMY:     Well, let’s see if we can get to the bottom of this. Snow White’s on the show, guys.
                                 FX: ENTRANCE MUSIC STING.
                                 ENTER SNOW WHITE, very upset.
SNOW WHITE: What about you and that Cinderella, eh? I know you’ve been sneaking out of the palace at night…
PRINCE:     You told me he wasn’t mine…
SNOW WHITE: Ask him about the text messages. Ask him about the phone calls in the middle of the night. Ask
            him about the messages on Face scroll. Ask him…
JEREMY;     Welcome to the show sweets. [To SNOW WHITE] You told my researchers that he only wanted you to
            get his mum and dad off his back.
SNOW WHITE  That’s right. He said his mum and dad were nagging him to get a wife and get her knocked up.
            They fixed it up so that he could meet all these girls and some of them were no better than
            prostitutes.
PRINCE:     Your mother you mean.
SNOW WHITE: Don’t you dare talk about my family like that.
PRINCE:     A mother who’s mental.
SNOW WHITE: She’s not mental.
PRINCE:     She spends all day dressed up like a crone talking to a mirror. She should be locked up. She
            tried to poison her with an apple
SNOW WHITE: He told me that if any of my little friends came round he would set the dogs on them.
PRINCE:     TOO BLOODY RIGHT I WOULD. They’re a menace, all that digging. I was walking across the lawn
            the other day and I fell in one of their dirty great big holes. I swear they are trying to kill
            me.
SNOW WHITE: You see, totally paranoid.
JEREMY:     So who do you think the father is?
PRINCE:     Well, its obvious isn’t it. She spent ages shacked up with seven men in the forest, it could be
            any one of them.
SNOW WHITE: Well that’s charming.
JEREMY:     Can I have the lie detector results please.
                               CREW MEMBER passes JEREMY a sealed envelope
JEREMY:     You were asked: have you ever had any sexual intercourse with anyone other than your husband?
            You answered “No”, the lie detector said…she was telling the truth…
SNOW WHITE: You see…
JEREMY:     You were asked have you ever had any sexual contact, which could be a passionate kiss up to
            intercourse, with anyone other than your husband…you said “No”..the lie detector said….she was
            telling you the truth…
SNOW WHITE: Put that in your glass slipper and smoke it.
JEREMY:     Finally, you were asked had you kissed anybody other than your husband, you said “No!”.the lie
            detector said….you were lying….
PRINCE      You see, I knew it. I bloody well knew it. You lying cow!
                               EXIT THE PRINCE followed by SNOW WHITE
SNOW WHITE But that doesn’t count. It was only a frog. Frogs don’t count. I was just experimenting…

WOLF:       Actually Jeremy, when I am dressed like this I prefer to be called Susan
JEREMY:     What’s going on?
WOLF:       I’m just more comfortable in women’s clothes.
JEREMY:     Are you in a relationship?
WOLF:       Engaged.
JEREMY:     How long?
WOLF:       About two years
JEREMY:     Does she know about…Susan?

           a real man.
WOLF:      I do love you…I just like wearing girl’s clothes…
JEREMY:    Good morning sweets. Take a seat. I guess this is a bit of a shock. You had no idea that your
           fiancé of two years was, infact, Susan.
RED:       Not at all, Jeremy. {TO the WOLF] How long has this been going on, eh? When did it start?
           Well come on.
WOLF:      When we first met. You were wearing that red cloak and matching shoes and you looked so cute.
JEREMY:    You tried to eat her grandmother and take her place…
WOLF:      No Jeremy I was just trying to…
JEREMY:    You hit her on the head and stuffed her in the wardrobe.
WOLF:      No, I was hiding in the wardrobe when Granny….
RED:       You told me that you were helping her move the wardrobe when it fell on her….
JEREMY:    Isn’t it the case that you have used this girl and her family in order to fuel your sick habit
           for wearing women’s clothes?
WOLF:      No, I love her…
JEREMY:    Isn’t it the case that you have lied to this girl? Yes or no?
RED:       You lied to me for two years. I stood by you during the court case with the pigs…I believed you
           about granny…. but this….I just don’t understand this…
WOLF:      I just want you to know the truth. I’ve been living a lie for two years. It’s not sick. I still
           love you. Can you forgive me?
RED:       I just don’t know…You have to be honest with me. But I guess we can try…[She hands him the red
           cloak]…
WOLF:      [to RED]…Call me Susan…
JEREMY:    Well…sometimes love can conquer all. You two go off backstage and see our aftercare team. Give
           them a big hand, my friends.

           total slapper….
JEREMY:    This is Wendy, the girl you say tried to steal your boyfriend away.
TINK:      She’s like all posh and just makes stuff up. Like stories. And she’s not helping him. She’s a
           total waste of space…she can’t even fly by herself.
JEREMY:    Let’s get Wendy on the show.

JEREMY:    Good morning sweets. Have a seat. You told my researchers that you’ve tried to help Peter find
           his real parents and that you even offered to let him be adopted by your own parents. Is this
           true?
TINK:      That’s only ‘cos she wants him for herself.
WENDY:     I have tried to help Peter, yes.
TINK:      Oh you liar, you let him call you mother you sicko.
JEREMY:    You let him call you mother?
WENDY:     When we first met and that was only in front of the other lost boys. It was a game.
TINK:      You see, that’s the problem, its all games with you. You won’t let him grow up.
JEREMY:    [To TINK]…You told my researchers that the only way that Peter can move on is if he leaves Wendy
           to find out who his real father is.
TINK:      That’s right. That’s why we want a DNA test.
JEREMY:    Before we give out those all-important DNA results let’s get Peter on the show.
