'It is! It's Barry's Red Cola!' Ah! Barry's Red Cola.
Sparkling, tasty and refreshing.
A great companion on any adventure.
Are you ready to begin yours? 'I am now!' Very well.
You awake in a giant's kitchen.
You're on a plate.
Nearby is a steel goblet.
You hear thunderous footsteps approaching.
What would you like to do? 'Hide in the goblet!' You climb over the lip of the goblet and dive into a pool of Barry's Red Cola! 'Oh, really?' Yes, really.
'Man, I love that stuff.
' Me, too.
The giant searches the room for you.
He glances towards the goblet.
What would you like to do? 'Drink Barry's Red Cola!' You drink the delicious Barry's Red Cola.
The goblet is empty.
You sit at the bottom of the goblet, safely out of view.
Good idea, traveller.
'I have a confession, Falconhoof.
'It was luck! I just couldn't help drinking all that Barry's Red Cola!' Ha-ha-ha.
I hear you! Unfortunately, the giant also loves Barry's Red Cola and begins refilling the goblet from his bottle.
What would you like to do? 'Drink Barry's Red Cola!' You drink the Barry's Red Cola as it pours over you.
Barry's Red Cola also tastes great straight from the bottle.
You remain out of view at the bottom of the goblet.
Another great idea, traveller.
But don't tell me it was luck.
you just couldn't help drinking all that BOTH: Barry's Red Cola! 'Hey, you can't blame me, huh?' No way, man! But the giant keeps pouring faster than you can drink! You must act quickly.
'Let me think about it.
' HEARTY GLUGGING 'Ah!' Traveller? 'Yeah?' You're dead! 'Oh, no! What happened?' You drowned in Barry's Red Cola.
What a glorious way to die.

All right? APPLAUSE Hello, my name's Raymond Day, and welcome to Paraside.
Let's see where the spirit takes us.
Could someone understand, please? I have here in spirit someone who, at the time of their passing, looked very different from how they usually looked, and not necessarily for the better.
You, my dear? I think it might be my son.
It might be your son.
OK.
And am I right in saying that this change in his appearance was caused byan illness? Or an accident? Or? Yeah, an accident.
He was killed in a car crash.
A crash? Oh, God! And you saw what had happened when you went to identify him.
Am I right? Well, I was in the car with him, but I had my seat belt on, so I survived but he didn't.
Oh, lucky you! No, no, you weren't lucky, because you saw your son and he was, and he admits this himself, not a pretty picture.
LAUGHTER His face was all over the place.
Is that right? Good, because he's telling me now, who's this? My husband.
This is Husband.
You told Husband you couldn't get that face out of your mind.
Every time you closed your eyes, it was there.
It's just not how you want to remember your son.
But he's telling me now, "Don't cry, Mum! they've put me back together again.
"All the king's horses and all the king's men "have put me back together again.
" Just like the nursery rhyme you used to sing to him, remember? He just wants to come through to tell you that.
And that's him away.
APPLAUSE But now he's away, I can tell you.
He's a mess.
He's no different.
He was trying to cheer you up, but I thought you'd want the truth, cos you're going to see it eventually.
And don't worry, I think you'll have plenty of time to get used to it! LAUGHTER That was nice of him.
I'll leave his love with you.
