    Under the watchful gaze of a statue of an Oscar, "Daffy" tries to extol the talents of "Sleepy Lagoon" to top casting agent "Porky". Thing is, his act just sits on the sofa sucking on a lollipop whilst it's the hugely overactive "Daffy" who does a series of turns with everything from Carmen Miranda to wartime pilot on display. Try as he might, "Porky" can't escape the relentless onslaught - and neither can we, so thankfully he agrees to let the kid try. Maybe he needed a lozenge? Anyway, it's Ok this, but the freneticism of the duck was never my favourite at the best of times, and here it's just a bit in your face and goes on too long.
