Two days after his unorthodox job interview for co presenter of "Pies and Prizes" Mark was delighted to receive a letter from Penny, the Show's Producer, which he read with a mixture of apprehension and excitement. A broad smile came over his face when he saw the salary he would receive for the six episodes, far more than he expected. He swiftly read through the small print which confirmed he should expect to be on the receiving end of messy items during the show. The good news was that outfits would be provided and the studio location was less than an hours drive from his flat.

After what seemed an eternity the day of the first show arrived. Mark arrived early and had the chance to look around the almost empty studio. It consisted of a stage with a large table, two chairs and on the far side what he assumed was an item of furniture covered by a large blanket.
Vicki, the brunette main presenter warmly greeted Mark. "Hi how are you? Penny wants to see us in her office in 10 minutes to run through the show. Are you ready?" she said ending with a laugh.
Ten minutes later Vicki, Dani the attractive blonde co presenter and Mark entered Penny's office.
Penny smiled, wearing this time more casual clothes of jeans and top. "Ok let me explain what will happen today. Two people will be selected from the studio audience to take part in our elimination card game Higher or Lower. Vicki will call out two numbers which refer to seats in the studio and Dani you will assist the lucky two people to the stage. Oh and don't worry we've fixed things so the two ladies each week have been checked and should be good entertainment value. Mark you will find that about 95% of the audience are female! Anyway Vicki will chat to the contestants finding things out before explaining the rules. There will be 11 cards placed on the table in line with the first card face up. The aim is for the contestant to guess whether the next card is higher or lower. If they guess correctly they win £10, and here's the best bit Mark, Dani then pies you in the face."
Dani clearly from the expression on her face was looking forward to that part!
Penny continued "So the winner is the lady who gets to the final card having amassed the most money. If the guess is wrong at any time she just continues, but no pieing. Any questions?"
Malc made a token reply "I don't suppose there is..."
Penny interrupted "No Mark you just smile and accept it!!" Once again the two girls looked very happy.
"Oh and Vicki its important you keep count of the money won and of course the number of pies Mark receives". "No problem" grinned Vicki with a playful dig into Mark's rib. "Oh Penny what if the result is a tie?"
Penny smiled "Then we have a tie breaker question with of course a suitable forfeit!"
Mark looked at his colleagues "Not sure I like the sound of that".
"Well " continued Penny "That's part 1 of the show, we then have a short break, giving you Mark the chance to clean up. In the second part our winning contestant is playing for the Star Prize. this week its a holiday to Barbados".
Dani interrupted "Can i play the game?"
Penny ignored her and carried on " Vicki you ask the contestant to select an envelope from the 4 envelopes you offer inside of which are 10 questions. She has to answer 6 correctly to win the prize. The subjects will be either Capital Cities, Music, TV, or General Knowledge"
Mark interrupted "Don't tell me each right answer means I get another pie?"
Penny laughed "Oh we wouldn't do that to you again Mark. That would be boring!"
The way she replied made Mark a bit concerned.

The three presenters made their way to the respective changing rooms. Malc was pleased to see two identical outfits of smart white shirt, white trousers, brown shoes and white briefs.
Meanwhile Vicki changed into her outfit of a body hugging lime green dress with plunging neckline to show off her amazing cleavage. Dani changed into a lycra style yellow micro mini dress white thong and yellow stilettoes
From the side of the stage Mark could see the audience of about 200 and as predicted predominantly female. Vicki entered the stage to loud applause and explained what would be happening. She then introduced Dani and Mark who was delighted to receive loud cheers and whistles from the enthusiastic audience,
As agreed Vicki called out two numbers "61 and 94". Firstly Anna an attractive blonde girl in her mid 20's and secondly Pam a more mature lady in her 40's. After the introductions both ladies were ready to play the game with Anna going first. Vicki explained to the audience that not only would each contestant win £10 for each correct guess but there would be a penalty for Mark for each successful guess.
"Dani could you please bring on the trolley" said Vicki and Dani re emerged on stage wheeling
a trolley of 20 multi coloured pies all in pie crust. The audience cheered again as Mark's heart
sank, feigning worry.

So the game commenced. The first card on display was a 6. "Higher" shouted Anna and Vicki turned over the next card to reveal a 10. The audience cheered. "You know what to do Dani" said Vicki.
Mark, sitting on a chair protested but to no avail. Dani picked up a large cream pie in her hand. Teasingly she held it in front of his face. Vicki shouted out "What should she do?"
"Pie him pie him" came the roar from the audience and Dani needed no further encouragement as she firmly crushed the pie into Mark's face rubbing it firmly around ,Although Mark was quite taken aback he felt considerable pleasure from the set up and the feeling of the pie hitting his face with a slight groan of pleasure.
Anna proved quite lucky with her guesses as she got 7 correct answers which apart from winning £70 meant Mark received 6 more pies, expertly delivered by Dani varying from pushing firmly into his face to smearing on his head and unbuttoning his shirt to smear one pie on his chest to loud appreciation from the audience. The final pie Dani took great delight in delivering to his crotch which by this time had developed an obvious bulge which only increased as Dani slowly rubbed the creamy substance thoroughly in. The audience really enjoyed this as indeed did Mark and from the glint in her eye so did Dani!
Mark was given a towel to wipe his face and body before the second contestant Pam tried her luck. She proved far less successful although she did end with 4 correct answers with a little assistance at the end from Vicki who Mark was sure sneaked a look at the last card to help her! This meant 4 more pies for Mark 3 of them delivered to his face and with an apologetic grin Dani aimed at his still obvious bulge in his pants before again smearing it around the groin area.
Vicki announced "Well we have a clear winner Anna who will be back shortly to try and win our star prize, a holiday to Barbados! See you in a few minutes"
Mark made his way back to the dressing room to quickly shower and change into his second outfit musing on the fact he had actually enjoyed the experience but wondered what would happen next.

Part two of the programme commenced with Vicki asking Anna to select one of the envelopes. She choose "Capital cities" and as a keen traveller was reasonably confident of obtaining the 6 correct answers.
Dani and Mark joined Vicki on the stage. Vicki said " Dani can you please remove the blanket". Mark had been perplexed by what had been covered and his fears were justified as it revealed...a Gunge Tank! Vicki continued "Now each correct answer means Dani will pour a bucket of gunge into the container underneath which Mark will sit. Once the quiz is over Mark will get covered in lovely thick green gunge!".
Mark had a look of disbelief on his face, Well Penny had promised no more pies but gunge, and with a shrug took his seat in the tank.
Vicki asked the first question "What is the capital of England?" The answer was of course easy for Anna who replied "London". "Correct " said Vicki "First bucket please Dani".
A smiling Dani climbed up the step ladder to carefully pour the first bucket of green gunge into the container. The only positive Mark could take was that he was able to watch the micro skirted Dani from close quarters affording him a pleasant view of her white thong. He whispered "Love the white thong" towards Dani as she clambered down who responded "Make the most of it you soon won't be seeing anything"
The questions did get harder Mark was pleased to hear but Anna was showing great knowledge getting 5 correct answers very quickly meaning 4 more buckets were emptied into the tank. At this stage Anna seemed to panic with 3 wrong answers meaning she had to get the last question correct to win the prize.
The tension mounted "What is the capital of Australia?" asked Vicki and after a pause Anna replied "Canberra". Shouts of joy and cheering from the crowd as Dani poured the 6th bucket into the container.
"And now its gunge time. All yours Dani" said Vicki with a big grin on her face.
Mark sat waiting for the ordeal. Six buckets means a load of gunge he thought. Once again the anticipation mounted and he could feel himself becoming aroused particularly as he watched the smiling Dani slowly move to the lever. Cleverly she hesitated as if she was unsure what to do. "Gunge him gunge him" screamed the audience so with some exaggerated reluctance Dani pulled the lever releasing the gunge over the defenceless Mark. Within seconds he had been covered from head to toe completely ruining his pristine white outfit,
Eventually the deluge ceased and Mark exited the tank to join Vicki, Dani and a highly delighted Anna centre stage. The effect of the gunging had turned Mark on although he seemed unaware of the obvious bulge in his trousers.
"Was that the gunge effect or my thong" whispered Dani. A bit late for Mark to cover his embarrassment as he realised it was a combination of both.

Mark returned to his dressing room to change and shower for the final time today. Well there are worse ways to earn a living he thought already preparing for thenext episode and humiliation.......
