Following his latest humiliation at the hands of his female presenters Mark made a phone call to Penny, the Producer of Pies and Prizes.
Mark's suggestion was based around the fact that perhaps his costumes could become a bit sexier as clearly his latest "topless" appearance had been well received by the predominantly female audience. Penny had agreed with the suggestion saying "leave it with me" and also added there was to e a change to the format of the show next week. Mark was suitably intrigued and dared to think that perhaps either Vicki or Dani, his co presenters of the show, might be on the receiving end for once!
Sadly he was to be mistaken, at least on this occasion.....

For the 5th show in the series Mark arrived at the studio to find the stagehands busy preparing to erect a dunk tank to be placed centre stage.
Mark saw Vicki "Hey what's the tank for" he asked. "Need you ask" replied Vicki. "Apparently Penny wanted to change things round this week and instead of pies you. my sweet Mark, will be perched up there" indicating the seat above the tank. "Good luck" blowing a kiss in his direction as she moved away laughing.
Mark grimaced thinking that was not the way he hoped the show would change.

The start of the show commenced in the usual way with Vicki calling out 2 seat numbers to the audience to determine who would be playing the game. Dani accompanied the excited ladies from the audience to the stage where they were interviewed by Vicki. Laura fair haired. tall aged in her mid 30's and Adeleine a more vibrant shorter lady of a similar age with long brown hair. Vicki explained the rules of the game they would be playing, "Higher or Lower" where you had to guess correctly whether the next card turned over would be higher or lower. If the guess was correct £10 was won by the contestant and Mark would suffer a forfeit.
"Now ladies "said Vicki. "As you know this has meant a pie in the face for Mark in previous weeks" (at this point as in previous weeks the contestants cheered and clapped) "but this week we have something different planned" indicating to the stage hands to remove the large curtain which had been covering the Dunk Tank. Perched on the seat was a rather nervous looking Mark wearing a tight fitting white T shirt and a pair of white swimming shorts. Earlier Mark had to suppress a smile when he entered his dressing room to see the outfit he had been given to wear by Penny. No sign of the formal shirt and trousers normally provided!
The studio audience also seemed happy clapping enthusiastically interspersed with whistles of appreciation.

Laura was the first to play the game and proved very successful reaching the 10th and final card with 6 successful guesses meaning Mark was dunked 6 times. Mark in fact did not have to wait long for his first soaking as Laura guessed correctly with her first card which enabled Dani, wearing her trademark yellow micro mini dress, without any warning to press the button propelling Mark into the tank containing as he was immediately to discover, cold water! With a shriek of anguish Mark completely submerged in the 4 foot of water before emerging with his T shirt clinging to his body and the white shorts becoming quite transparent.
"You could have warmed the water up" he spluttered in the direction of Vicki who was too busy laughing at the state of him to answer.
His second dunking was more theatrical with Dani teasingly saying to the audience "Shall we dunk him?" with the response " Dunk him, Dunk him" leaving the half apologetic Dani pressing the button to send Mark into the water, Each soaking Mark realised left little to the imagination as despite the temperature of the water he became fully aroused at the sensation and anticipation. And on each occasion Mark was completely submerged not bothering with keeping his head above water.
Fortunately for Mark. Adeleine the other contestant was not so lucky with her guesses only getting 4 correct, meaning Mark had 4 dunkings to endure. Vicki then announced the break for adverts which was an opportunity for Mark to dry off before the second part of the show even though he was conscious of the gawping eyes of Vicki, Dani and the two contestants as he made his way off stage. On his return to the dressing room he was slightly amused to find the only item of clothing was a pair of tight fitting white brief speedos trunks, the type favoured by competitive Divers plus a dressing robe to protect his modesty, at least initially! And he noted once they were on possibly a size too small. Very clever Penny!

The second part of the show commenced with Vicki, still wearing a patterned dress low cut as normal, welcoming back Laura who was to play for the star prize, this week a holiday cruise to the Caribbean.
"Now please welcome back my co presenters Dani and Mark and I think you may notice something different tonight". On her cue Dani and Mark entered the stage both wearing identical white dressing robes. Mark looked on with awe as Dani removed her robe to reveal a stunning skimpy yellow bikini, string tied at the sides and top leaving little to the imagination. She looked sensational thought Mark already getting excited as she twirled round in front of him. It was then his turn to remove the robe to reveal the white trunks to a gasp from the audience and what he interpreted as a smile from Dani.
"So" continued Vicki composing herself. "Tonight Laura has to answer questions on the selected subject which is TV Soaps. She needs to answer at least 6 questions correct to win the prize and each time it is a right answer a bucket of water will be added to the tank" indicating the gunge tank which had been moved on stage.
So thought Mark the only changes Penny had made were to replace water for gunge and sexier costumes for the presenters, unless of course Dani was to sit in the tank. Secretly it is what Mark hoped for as he was confident the cascade of water falling would be sufficient to remove her bikini top. His illusion was soon destroyed as Vicki announced "Mark please take your seat in the tank".
Laura again proved knowledgeable about TV soaps getting 5 correct answers quickly, each time successful meaning that the bikini clad Dani climbed the step ladder to add another bucket of water to the tank,
affording Mark at least the satisfaction of seeing her pert breasts just about contained in her top at a close view.
"I hope thats not cold water " joked Mark to Dani as she made her way precariously up the ladder. "What do you think " replied the smiling Dani resisting the temptation to spill a few drops in his direction.
To build up the tension Laua had a spell of 3 wrong answers but with the final question she guessed the correct answer amidst cheering from the audience. Laura was overjoyed at winning the prize.
"One final task for you to perform Laura " said Vicki "Please pull the lever to soak Mark".
A rather nervous Laura approached the tank "I'm really sorry" she said before releasing the torrent of cold water over the defenceless Mark who screamed "Aaaah that was cold" pointing an accussing finger at the laughing Vicki and Dani. The effect of the shock of the water cascading over his body certainly was obvious to the girls with an obvious bulge in his trunks as he slowly exited the tank.
"Just before you go Mark" said Vicki " As you know the title of the show is Pies and Prizes and in case we break the Trade Descriptions Act its only right we reward you in the customary way". Unseen by Mark the two stagehands had handed two large creamy pies to the girls, Vicki looked at Dani "Both together I think" and before he could protest the two girls crushed their pies into Mark's face delivering the perfect pie sandwich ensuring the mess covered his face before rubbing it over his head.
The audience roared their approval as Mark trudged back to have a shower wishing one day just maybe the roles will get reversed...
This time he needed a longer conversation with Penny he thought.
