Another radio comedy gem that I’ve found
(during my trawls through Radio 4 – via YouTube) is a creation by Mark Evans
called ‘Bleak Expectations’, which can only be described as a combination of Charles
Dickens and The Goon Show, so I decided it deserved its own parody song
Bleak
Expectations on the radio station
Hear me tell everyone about the life I’ve led
Bleak Expectations and escapations*
With all that I’ve seen it’s a wonder I’m not dead.

Who
could believe I could go from happy and contented
So soon to thinking happiness hadn't been invented
My family and I were so happy with no strife
Then Gently B took over my life

I have
overcome and defeated all of his bad plots
Can only hope that one day he’ll be happy with his lot
I’ve lost such good friends but with some been reunited
With Harry my life won’t be blighted

After all these years it’s still a wonder I’m not dead.

*Yes I know ‘escapations’ isn’t a real word but if
they can get away with pencocks and iWaxes and other fantastical creations then I
think I can be excused escapations
