I just read about this show that was on UK TV:
"Ralph is afraid of peaches," the host gleefully announces.
"Ooh," the audience chants.
"He can't come near them."
"Ooh," the audience chants louder. Then, a basket of peaches appears on a big screen behind Ralph. The host points up at it. Ralph turns, swears, screams and jumps up. His 270 pounds of sheer terror races down the studio hall, followed, of course, by the camera crew.
Hysterical laughter from the audience.
Ralph, covered by 3 cameras, cowers in the corner backstage. At the host's goading, the audience begins chanting till he's back on stage.
The crowd applauds.
Why winking at the audience the host asks Ralph why he doesn't like peaches.
"They're fuzzy, they're slimy." Then almost inaudibily, he mutters something about a girlfriend who had peach shampoo.
At that moment, two voluptuous women bring in 2 big baskets of peaches.
...Ralph runs through the audience. They tackle him and succeed in pulling his pants down, which only adds to the ridiculousness of the spectacle. The camera catches the rear view of Ralph crawling away from the taunting audience, on all fours, his trousers around his knees.
Ralph once again crouches in the foetal position in a corner of the studio wings. The host follows and sneers, "Do you know what you are now? A 6-foot tall, 270-pound man cowering in the corner?"

Easter Song
My Lord, He died for a kingdom,
To redeem the hearts of men,
Now my people don't you weep,
He has risen from His sleep,
He lives again, Alleluia.
Refrain:
Sing Alleluia, the Lord is risen,
He is risen again, Alleluia
My Lord came forth like the morning,
With the splendour of the sun,
Came triumphant from the womb
From the darkness of the tomb,
The victory won, Alleluia.
My Lord united the mountains,
With the everlasting hills,
Now the seasons and the sea,
Sing the song of victory,
Rocks and rills, Alleluia.
My Lord renewed all creation,
That had waited late and long,
Now we all with one accord,
Live and love the risen Lord,
This is our song, Alleluia.
To redeem the hearts of men,
Now my people don't you weep,
He has risen from His sleep,
He lives again, Alleluia.
Refrain:
Sing Alleluia, the Lord is risen,
He is risen again, Alleluia
My Lord came forth like the morning,
With the splendour of the sun,
Came triumphant from the womb
From the darkness of the tomb,
The victory won, Alleluia.
My Lord united the mountains,
With the everlasting hills,
Now the seasons and the sea,
Sing the song of victory,
Rocks and rills, Alleluia.
My Lord renewed all creation,
That had waited late and long,
Now we all with one accord,
Live and love the risen Lord,
This is our song, Alleluia.
