Woah Tiny is getting well spoilt! You'll have to find him, he's sneaked off with Brendan somewhere... I can't imagine what those two are up to!

Come on girls and boys, let's have a few last run-through's the tap dance and our formations to fling the ejected couple either back into the studio, or our playpen with Will and Hanna.

Just a thought. Why don't you feed some Tres Bon cocktails to the people on the gate, and then hide them in the ambulance, take their places and then stop whoever it is from leaving yourselves?

Okay..I am back for the dress rehearsel..but it is bloomin freezing in this underwear so make it snappy will ya!

*throws Bohochick a cashmere cape and a pair of purple long johns to keep her warm until the Real Thing*

tappity pippity tappity tap.

*comes flailing into the car park - tails flying, red lippy on skew-ways*

READY!!!!

When do we strike???

Becks

Cheers hun. I have goose bumps on my goosebumps here.

Anyone bring any medicinal brandy?

Hope the long johns are ok - pinched them from Arlene earlier.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Yeah check the cocktail bar in the ambulance, I had to restock after you and Gordon were at it (the drink I mean) last night, Boho. You look very fetching by the way. Long johns are in their way back in next season I hear.

Becks - I have a fantastic mental image of you whirling towards us like a deranged Fred Astaire-a-like from Cabaret

Libby is a criminal mastermind - let's go and get the security guards drunk...

*runs towards them with martini glasses full of pink drinks*

Oh wait - something isn't quite right here... hmmm. .. what is it?

*looks the guards up and down*

Brendan... Tiny... what have you done with the security guards??? You stole their uniforms (that's a good look on you Tiny )

WHAT???!!! You made them jive till their backs gave out and then threw them naked into a ditch!!!

Oh my!

*Boho runs as fast as her long johns will allow her, towards ditch*

Come and gather round, people, for a quick whispered huddle.

Listen, I've been talking to Gloria Hunniford - she was saying how she totally supported our aims. Sorry if I've been a bit indiscreet - these Tres Bons are very tongue loosening.

Anyway, she is happy to create some diversion (set the fire alarm off or something) just before they announce the last couple through to next week so that the programme has to come to an abrupt end. Nobody will suspect her - she's a National Treasure for goodness' sake.

Now, what we need to do is to get someone in there - not Brendan or Tiny 'cos they'll suspect - to sabotage the public vote counter so that nobody knows who got the lowest vote so they'll all have to dance again next week.

How does that sound?

That sounds fab. Good on Gloria.

I wonder if we could get the little otter to do the sabotage?

I think he has been feeling a bit left out lately with all the Tiny talk...and I did catch him crying in the corner of the car park the other day...but when I went up to him and asked what was wrong, he just dried his eyes with his little claws and said he was fine, in his little ottery voice.

I think he needs a job to keep his spirits up and to know that we still love him.

I have a friend, who knows a guy, who knows another guy whose sister-in-law trains mice to chew through wires. I'll see if I can get one for the show tonight...thought we may have to bribe it with promises of tiny sequin waistcoats if it's successful.

I always think it's good to have a back up plan - so if the Otter could manage this particular project and deploy the mice as he thinks fit, that should make him realise that we do value him.

Good luck all - am now off on night out.

Night fever, night fever......................

I want to hug the otter. I really do. Awww for the poor sweet neglected otter - I'm sorry, Tiny and me go way back, I promise to stroke our head and make you special Chocolate custard by way of recompense *hugs*

Genius plan. We shall continue with the 'front' of the tapping plan. Brendan and Tiny can stay on the door incognito and we can leave the rest to Gloria and little otter with the stunt mouse. We can sit here in our finery and sip cocktails while watching the show on our mini-TV

I just told the little otter, and not only is he beaming from ear to ear, he is also very happy that he is going to be in charge of a group of stunt mice.

He is off to get a generals cap and uniform, and will be back in five minutes he said.

I do hope the power doesn't go to his head.

Who'd've thunk Gloria would come in so useful..

Right.... so we're tapping, she's fire alarming, the mice are chewing, Tiny and Brendan are security guards and the otter is... What IS that otter doing anyway!

*is terribly hard to keep up with these elaborate plans*

HANG ON! I've just had a thought...the stunt mice...will they freak Tiny out? You know what they say about how elephants feel about mice...should I see if we can get some sort of other stunt rodent? Stunt guinea pigs, perhaps? Or is Tiny okay with mice?

OMG you are right...elephants hate mice! We can't have tiny doing a runner...think of the damage!

Phew...good thinking! Glad you remembered that!

Maybe the little otter better do it alone and gnaw through the wires himself.

I'll go tell him.

My goodness...that was a narrow escape. Imagine the chaos that might have ensued!

Oh God. I just caught the little otter on his way to the fancy dress hire shop, and told him, and now he is whizzing back up to the army and navy store, to get a white vest and combat trousers....as he wants to be like Bruce Willis in 'Die Hard'....fighting a mission against the odds...all by himself.

They'll be no stopping him now.

Whole new level of madness there Boho..

I LOVE IT!!!!!

HAHAHAHAAH There aren't enough ways to express the mirth.

Ahem.

Tiny is ALWAYS telling me that he isn't scared of mice, but he still won't watch Disney's Christmas Carol, because Mickey freaks him out, he says it's the big ears (!) I know the long-trunked hypocrite. Don't sack the stunt mice though - they are a valuable commodity in our plan - we'll just keep them separated. Anyway, Tiny will grit his teeth and try to appear brave in front of his 'new best friend' Brendan (I'm not bitter - much).

Does little otter know that Bruce (Forsythe) and Tess do not a ruthless gang of Scandinavian terrorists make?

No no no!

Don't tell me I have to let the little otter down and tell him the mice are going to do it after all?

I think, if we are not careful..he might get so cross that he goes to the other side and tries to sabotage us. i mean, he knows all our plans now.

Is there nothing else the mice can do which won't involve Tiny or bumming out the little otter?

How about that they all run under Arlenes chair and up her leg...I bet she doesn't like mice either.

Oh no..hold on..I'll be back in a mo. The little otter is back and he's shaved his head a la Bruce Willis too, and seems to be holding a plastic toy sword. Which I have warned him about being careful with before after the last time he waved it about.

It's okay. I've called off the mice for this week, although that Arlene plan sounds like a good idea. We'll consider them for future weeks, perhaps? Wouldn't want to let our dear little otter down, especially after all the effrt he's gone to.
