[A timer begins to tick]

Voiceover: Six months ago, you heard this:

[The timer pauses.  A brief burst of static noise is heard.]

[Extract from a previous advert - "Want to help us?  then fill in our listener survey!"]

[Static, then the timer reaches its elapsed time - a bell is heard.]

Voiceover: Now, you can hear this:

[Bell ceases.  Static.]

[Extract - "... I'm sure the government could find a use for that!
Aaron: the government?
Mary: of course.  Crime rate'd go right down if people knew they were being tracked!"  (scene 1, lines 4-6)]

[Static.  Electronic music begins, over which the advert continues.]

Voiceover: (Reverbarated) Midweek Mystery: (Dry) a new programme to The Voice, starring some of the finest radio actors from around the globe.  This week, listen as computing batchellar Aaron Thornton discovers how his newly invented microchip technology could have a staggering affect on society, causing him to enter a maze of moral dilemmas and other unexpected consequences.

[Extract - "Not a particularly well-known job, but it's still something to brag about... Or is it?  When the public find out that I'm the man responsible for the new tracking system... Well, it's not exactly private, is it?"  (Scene 3)]

Voiceover: Search No More - the first Midweek Mystery: starts this Wednesday evening at 7:00.

[Music ends.]
