New boys get into trouble with Big Dollar as they take girls out on date

Dino Mahoney

Three new characters appear in tomorrow's Songbirds at noon on RTHK Radio 4 (FM 97.6-98.9).

Their names are Billy, Bart and Bax and they are all brothers - triplets, in fact.

The actors playing the part of these characters are all from St Joseph's College.

They won first runners-up in the Songbirds Radio Drama Competition and now they are about to become radio stars.

Listen to them and give us your comments at the Songbirds Web site at www.songbirds.com.hk The three B's In tomorrow's Songbirds, the three B's - Billy, Bart and Bax - are welcomed to their new school by a kind teacher, Ms Ho. But in the playground their positive opinion of the school becomes negative when Big Dollar and Hammer, two triad schoolboys, threaten them and demand pro tection money. Big Dollar and Hammer are regular characters in Saturday's Songbirds. Their role is often more comic than serious. Daisy is Big Dollar's girlfriend. She is a schoolgirl but she is very tough. After Big Dollar has taken $100 from the three boys, Daisy takes the money because she wants to buy make-up! Later, the three new boys try to date Li Bin, Alysha and Emily. Alysha and Emily are excited because they have never been on a date before. But Li Bin will not go as she misses her old boyfriend Ricky too much. Regular listeners will know that Ricky ran away from home and has been staying with classmate Ted's family. But the social worker recently ordered him back home. Rather than going back to a violent father, Ricky ran away.

Then the three B's ask Daisy, Iris and Anita out on a date. They do not know that Daisy is Big Dollar's girlfriend. Daisy demands to be taken to an expensive restaurant as she likes to eat abalone and shark's fin soup. But Big Dollar appears at the restaurant and the three B's have to hide under a table.

Policeman Max In Sunday's Songbirds, the girls finally get their revenge on Bill. Bill is an English boy from London who met May through ICQ. He has come to visit her in Hong Kong, but he also has another girlfriend, Mei Li. Finally, May and Mei Li realise that Bill has been cheating on them and they decide to get their revenge. They ask their fellow student Max to dress up as a policeman and give Bill a fright. But on their way to find Bill, someone on the street thinks that Bill really is a policeman. She asks for his help urgently as her brother is being beaten up by some gang members.
