| You Can't Be Serious! by Nicholas Richards |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 3. Minimum Female roles = 2. Minimum total with doubling = 8. Minimum total without doubling = 26. No chorus. Very flexible cast numbers (the upper limit is the entire population of Syracuse). Two presenters appear throughout, the rest of the characters appear in individual episodes and are therefore open to doubling if needed. |
| Run Time | Around 40 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | One-act play - though arguably a sketch show with a linking theme and two linking characters (the presenters). Ideal for a school class mixing science, history, linguistics and drama. What more could you want? |
| Synopsis | An affectionate spoof of children's science programmes sneaks in some education amongst the fun as the two presenters take a stroll through time to examine the origins of some well-known (and some less well-known) scientific words. |

| Synopsis | It's an important day for the zoo manager - financier Sir Norman is coming for an inspection, and nothing must go wrong. So it would be a bad time for the gibbons to hijack a car, the tractor to run into croc lake and the tiger to take up residence in the coffee shop. And don't ask about the penguin. |
