活宝电台
《活宝电台》(暫譯,英語原名Radio Active)是英国广播公司第四电台(BBC Radio 4)在1980年代播出的一个喜剧广播剧。自从1980年首播以来,活宝电台受到了广大喜欢幽默广播喜剧的听众的欢迎。到目前为止该广播剧已经播出了7个系列。
活宝电台的编创人员以一个假想的本地电台及其可能播出的节目为蓝本,在每集近30分钟的时间里,制造出了许多的笑料,充分地展现了英国式的幽默。剧中的主要人物是Anna Daptor,Mike Flex,Mike Channel以及Mike Stand。具有喜剧色彩的是他们都以声音处理设备命名。后来又加入了不可理喻的Nigel Pry,毫无竞争力的Martin Brown以及发言谨慎的Mike Hunt。
这个广播剧源于牛津大学学生戏剧社。
演员表
安格斯·狄顿(Angus Deayton)饰演的角色有:
- 麦克 钱洛尔(Mike Channel) - 电台里面最“后进”的人物。他从最开始的黄金时段节目主持人,变成主持星期天凌晨4点的节目,最后沦落到做星期六早上的宗教节目。
- 诺曼·汤索尔爵士(Sir Norman Tonsil) - 华而不实、固执、直率而且讨厌的总裁。
- 赖特大师(The Right Reverend Reverend Wright) - 活宝电台的常驻宗教事务领袖。他很喜欢重金属类型的圣歌 :)
杰佛里·帕金斯(Geoffrey Perkins)饰演的角色有:
- 麦克·福勒克斯(Mike Flex) - 自大的主持人。他的职业生涯的发展方向正好和钱洛尔的相反。
- 文思特拉(Oivind Vinstra) - 一个英语很烂的挪威的DJ。
海伦·阿特金森·伍德(Helen Atkinson Wood)饰演的角色有:
- 安娜·丹普特(Anna Daptor) - 主持午间节目的矮矮胖胖的一个女主持人。她对食物的着迷制造出了各种各样的麻烦。
- 安娜·芮毕兹(Anna Rabies) - 一个专门解答听众问题的主持人。她盛气凌人,通常对问题提出的解决方案就是把问题的源头給“宰了”。
迈克尔·分顿·史蒂文斯(Michael Fenton-Stevens)饰演的角色有:
- 麦克·史丹叔叔("Uncle" Mike Stand) - 小朋友们的最爱。他好意的行为经常导致他因骚扰儿童而被捕。
- 马丁·布朗(Martin Brown) - 最害羞的DJ。 他出道时在当地一家医院主持凌晨4点的节目。他被雇佣的唯一原因就是便宜。
菲利普·蒲普(Philip Pope)饰演的角色有:
- 麦克·亨特(Mike Hunt) - 活宝电台里的“猛人”。他表演的特技就连5岁的小孩子也觉得乏味。
- 奈杰尔(Nigel Pry) - 意外事故的集中发生地。他通常会在节目开始几秒钟之内就把演播室毁得不成样子。
