Two ladies sharing a mic and reading the same script of dubious quality. One of them is really giving it some beans.

Same two chaps, same mic, same script that hasn't gotten any better

A lady making snoring noises into a microphone. Really. This is how we spend our time off at weekends. I've wasted my life...
