Rik Mayall's Bedside Tales (BBC4)
Series by Rik Mayall and John Nicholson about the sometimes beautiful, sometimes bizarre and occasionally revolting oddities of human behaviour.
Rik tells the tale of The Mountain Girl.
Rik Mayall's Bedside Tales (Radio 4) began with Mayall, narrating, opened his tale with the sound of a zip being fastened. Was he doing up his flies? His pencil case? What followed was a traditionally structured ("Once upon a time") piece of postmodern fantasy writing, with a character slipping out of the story to shoot the storyteller.
T Our male narrator followed the Mountain Girl into Brazilian heavily wooded hills, her "long black velvety hair tapered down to the small of her firm young back, swaying between the dimples, beckoning me" into "its magnificent secrets". She was, I should add, also "flexing in her petite, soft, leather loincloth".
Among soaring trunks, dripping fauna, "steaming hot waterfalls which crashed onto smooth black rock", she guided him into "every cleft and closet of those tropical pathways, leading [him] deeper and deeper".........
