      BEACH PHOTOGRAPHER

      Played by Alec Bregonzi

      On Brighton Pier in At Your Convenience, the Beach Photographer is earning a living taking photos of happy tourists. (Note: the scene was cut.)

      WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

       EXT. PHOTOGRAPHIC BOOTH. DAY

       It has several of those stands with cut-outs to put the face through. Start with a C.S. of Vic, with his eye to a small camera, Myrtle standing bored beside him.

      VIC: Hold it!

       (And now we see his shot. The stand has a garish painting of a Caveman and a Cavewoman, the latter with large bare breasts. Bernie has his face above the Cavewoman and Popsy has hers above the Caveman.)

      VIC: (OVER.) Lovely!

       (A click. Bernie and Popsy come out from behind the cut-out, giggling. Bernie points over.)

      BERNIE: Here, get a load of them.

       (They look that way. This time the painting is of a man and woman in profile, holding hands with their face-slots placed close together. The woman has ridiculously large pert breasts sticking straight out and straining her bikini top. She also has a very pert bottom in a pair of tight red shorts. The man is ridiculously skinny and dressed in a bright blue striped blazer with a pair of shorts down to his knees. A man and a woman have their faces through the holes, and are smiling at the photographer.)

      PHOTOGRAPHER: Thank you.

       (The man and the woman come out from behind the screens and the joke is that they are dressed like and have exactly the same figures as the cartoon painting. Bernie, Vic and Popsy roar with laughter and even Myrtle has to smile.)

      BEAR CREEK

      When Big Heap announces inside Rumpo’s Place that there has been a gold strike at Bear Creek, the hostelry clears within seconds, which is just what the Indian wanted because he aims to pinch some liquor without being shot. It’s not long, though, before the would-be gold diggers realise there isn’t such a place as Bear Creek and head back to the bar. The fictitious place is mentioned in Cowboy.

      BEATIFIC ISLANDS

      Sounds like a tropical paradise but far from it, as Dr Nookey and Dr Carver find out in Again Doctor. These far-flung islands are battered by hurricanes for three months of the year and drenched by rain for the remaining nine. Locals call their islands, ‘All rain and wind’. The rich widow, Ellen Moore, established a medical mission there in memory of her husband, who was cared for by the islanders.
