Our unsuspecting hero? The impeccable news anchor, Jack Nixon – a man known for his sharp dressing and perfectionist tendencies. With the six o'clock news being a live affair, there was no room for mistakes or retakes. Little did Jack know that a mischievous plot was brewing backstage, orchestrated by none other than the merry band of tricksters: Tim C. (props), Ted H. (camera), Cookie (camera), Spoiler (audio), John M. (director), and The Baron (lighting).
One fateful night, as Jack prepared for the live broadcast, the mischievous crew concocted a plan to replace his trademark glass of water with a steaming concoction of hot water and lemon juice. Oh, the audacity!
As the red light signaled the start of the live broadcast, Jack, ever the consummate professional, took a sip, only to be met with the unexpected sour zing of lemon-infused warmth. The crew, hidden behind the scenes, stifled their laughter as Jack's perfectly poised demeanor wavered for just a moment.
Tim C., in props, exchanged knowing glances with Teddy H., Cookie and Mort the camera wizards, as Spoiler, the audio genius, struggled to contain his mirth. Meanwhile, The Baron, the lighting maestro, orchestrated the ambiance, casting a spotlight on the unfolding hilarity.
In the director's control room, John M., with a twinkle in his eye, watched the scene play out like a well-rehearsed comedy sketch. The news set had turned into a stage, and Jack Nixon was unwittingly the star of the Lemon Caper – a prank that would go down in CFPL history.
As the broadcast continued, Jack, ever the professional, soldiered on, showcasing his ability to roll with the punches, or in this case, the unexpected taste of lemon-infused warmth. Little did he know, the entire crew was on the verge of bursting into laughter behind the scenes.
The Lemon Caper became the stuff of legend at CFPL, whispered about in the corridors and celebrated as a triumph of wit and camaraderie. It was a moment that showcased the vibrant spirit of the CFPL family – where even the news anchor was not spared from the playful antics that kept the studio alive with laughter.
