DIALOGUE 87
1--What's on the box tonight, does anyone know? 2--Oh nothing much. There's Panorama at eight for an hour. 1--Oh good. 2--And then there's the football at nine twenty-five. I want to see that. 1--Oh not again! just a minute--what time does it finish? The last part of that thriller's on the other side at a quarter to eleven. I'd like to see that. 2--Well the football ends at eleven. 1--You'll have to miss the last fifteen minutes then. 2--You'll probably be asleep by then. 1--No I won't! At least your football doesn't clash with the new. I always like that on at nine.
