Teds Revenge Meeting

Requested by competition winners Katie, Dave and Andy

This is the long overdue custom prize paint for last year’s photo competition winners. The full request:

“The scene we envisage is a Teds Revenge Meeting! Bears have traditionally been hunted, but now they’ve had enough, and hunted turns hunter! So picture the scene of the inside of a hunting lodge, wooden walls, big majestic fireplace with roaring fire and huge board room type table with big high-backed chairs. This is the Annual Ted Revenge Meeting (maybe there’s a banner above the fireplace saying something like that?). Superted is most definitely chairing the meeting. He’s still wearing his supersuit, but he definitely needs to look a bit more Rambo too. He’s pointing at the whiteboard/flipchart next to him. It’s headed ‘Most wanTED’ and on it are all the pictures of the people/characters they’re hunting and want revenge on.

Those that they’ve already knocked off have a big red cross through them. Texas Pete, Superted’s arch nemesis, has been circled on the chart as next on the list. They’ve just got him. He’s been tied up in his own lasso rope and is hanging upside down by it in one corner of the room looking seriously worried!

All the best famous teds are sat round the table at the meeting….

- Bungle from rainbow is there. He’s looking pretty pleased because Geoffery’s head is already mounted on a plaque above the fireplace.

- There’s an evil looking care bear who isn’t paying too much attention to the talk being given because he’s busy polishing his Rambo knife.

- Yogi is there with his picnic basket (with the ranger tied up inside it)

- Rupert is wearing his scarf, only it looks like it’s been knitted out of entrails….!

- Sooty is there, but we couldn’t decide whether he’d be using the terrified puppeteer as the puppet on his hand, whether he’d just be holding some gruesome severed hand, or if the puppeteer would be running around the room missing an arm?! I think I’ll leave that bit for you to decide

Now obviously it’s a revenge meeting for TEDdy bears, but the other Teds in this world clearly feel left out and want to be involved, so they’ve come incognito/in disguise. Father Ted is sat there wearing some really rubbish bear ears and a nose and is angrily waving a picture of Bishop Brennan in front of him because that’s who he wants revenge on. Ted Theodore logan from Bill & Ted has just arrived in the corner of the room in his phonebox.

So where do me and Dave come in? Well I thought we could be there sat round the big table too also wearing our really lame bear disguises (maybe just ears and a nose) looking a bit nervous and shifty as if we’re worried we are going to be rumbled any minute!”

n.b. As Katie and Dave are both doctors I included a Jeremy Hunt hide rug as a bonus prize.
