What is the Great Christmas Bunny Emergency about?

Max Rushden 0:00
Hello and welcome to What Did You Do Yesterday? I'm Max Rushton, David O'Doherty is there, and this is our annual Christmas story. Is this annual? Yeah, why not?
David O'Doherty 0:11
Okay, yeah. From now on, and we're going to do this forever, until the end, yes, I have written this story for, you reckon, four-year-olds and up?
Yeah.
David O'Doherty 0:26
And we can go right up. I mean, you might be right. Four, five, six-year-olds and up. I don't know. It's a week where other podcasts, a lot of them put out best jobs. We didn't want to do that. We wanted to put out... We're better than that. Yeah, that's exactly it. Yeah. Thank you so much for doing this with me. I haven't really explained exactly what it is, have I?
Max Rushden 0:46
Not really. Happy Christmas. But I'm here for a massive profit share.
David O'Doherty 0:51
Every year I write a story for kids that I know, cousins and nephews and nieces, and I give it to them so that I don't have to find very specific Lego pieces or learn to play a really boring board game. Got it, okay. This year, I was thinking before I print it out and post it out to people, I was thinking I would try it out on you. My dad, Jim, plays the piano and he's going to be playing some music during it. And my brother, Mark, he's very good with words. So he had a look at it and he made it a bit better. Right. So he wrote it. He wrote it. No, I wrote it. He put in some alternative words and made it a bit funnier. That's what he does. But I want to try it out on you as the first person. So would you be willing to listen to it?
David O'Doherty 1:53
And, you know, if it gets boring at any point, just tell me. Or if you have any suggestions or improvements, you can just shout them out. Is that fair enough? Absolutely, yes. To keep it interesting for you, I've given you a script and I would like you to play a character. There's three episodes and in episode one, you'll be playing a 100-year-old tortoise who worries about everything. Got it. Okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Max Rushden 2:19
Do you think that's something that you could do? Well, people say I'm tired, so I presume he's tired. So all I can do is give it my best shot. Wow.
David O'Doherty 2:28
Okay. I mean, who knows where this goes? Maybe it'll be a movie.

How does Nora's relationship with her bunny influence the story?

David O'Doherty 2:32
Maybe it'll be a computer game. And in which case, we'll definitely be in it.
Max Rushden 2:37
If it is a movie, do I keep my role? Or just who gets the hundred-year-old tortoise? It's one of the old guys that's still alive from Lord of the Rings, isn't it? That's who gets it.
David O'Doherty 2:47
no you will get it and you don't even have to do a costume either you just lie I was in prosthetics for six hours a day So I think let's just get into it. Let's get into the story. The story is called The Great Christmas Bunny Emergency. And it's in three bits. I've said it's a festive caper in three Barry's because there are three separate characters called Barry in it. Got it. And we're going to start with Barry one. And this one's called Still at the Zoom. OK, here we go.
David O'Doherty 3:38
Nora pulled her floppy green bunny from the inside pocket of her red coat and sat him on the tree beside where she was sitting. Now he could look at the giraffes while she ate the bag of crisps that Granny had given to her. Interruption.
Max Rushden 3:53
Yes. What flavour crisps? You don't want this much detail of questioning.
David O'Doherty 3:58
No, no, no. I'm going to say Cheese and Onion because it's Ireland. I think it's set in Ireland. I mean, people have got quite Irish names in it. So I'm going to say Cheese and Onion.
Max Rushden 4:09
Am I an Irish tortoise just for future?
David O'Doherty 4:13
No, I feel there aren't many Irish tortoises. You know, it's not a traditional Irish animal. So you can be from anywhere you want. Just hold on with the tortoise. We've got a bit to go before you come in. Carry on. You stay there, Nora ordered him. This is to the floppy green bunny she's put on the tree. Not that he was going anywhere. While green bunny was definitely Nora's favorite thing in the world, he wasn't what you could call a 100% real bunny. He was made of soft fluffy stuff filled with other soft fluffy stuff that a lifetime of hugs, nose rubs and bringing everywhere she went had given a unique shape, color and smell to. Green-ish sort of bunny blob thing might have been a more accurate name.
