Check your spam box Ray. There will be loads of tips there.

Not bad, actually I think it could be more compact, but still pretty funny.

I thought the concept was good but I was expecting more conflict. Maybe cutting it in half to keep them both happy.

:O Oh the very thought!
Thanks guys for all your ideas and comments

I felt bad that I didn't have anything positive to say about your past two sketches so I went to look for others you had done. I really liked this one and also think that making it a bit longer could be really funny.

AN ENGLISH COUPLE FLY OUT TO MALAWI IN ORDER TO ADOPT A BABY AND ON ARRIVAL ARE GREETED BY THE VILLAGE LEADER. THE LEADER PROMPTLY PUTS A FINGER AND THUMB TO HIS LIPS AND GIVES A SHRILL WHISTLE

SUDDENLY SEVERAL WOMEN RUSH FROM THEIR HUTS CARRYING BABIES OR DRAGGING TODDLERS WITH THEM

LEADER:
You English people, you like a bargain. Yes?

THE COUPLE LOOK PUZZLED

MAN:
Erm! I suppose so.

THE LEADER HURRIES OVER TO WHERE A WOMAN IS STANDING CLUTCHING TWINS, ONE BABY IN EACH ARM. HE PUSHES HER TOWARDS THE COUPLE

LEADER:
Two for the price of one! I say! Two for the price of one!

THE COUPLE ARE BESOTTED AND THE MAN TAKES HOLD OF ONE OF THE BABIES. THE WOMAN IS JUST ABOUT TO TAKE THE OTHER BABY WHEN SUDDENLY MADONNA APPEARS FROM NOWHERE AND MAKES A GRAB FOR THE SAME BABY. THE TWO WOMEN NOW HAVE HOLD OF ONE ARM AND ONE LEG AND NEITHER WILL LET GO.

WOMAN: (To Madonna)
Why do you want these babies when you have so much money that you can have any baby you want?

MADONNA:
Yeah but these are identical twins.Just think of all the publicity they could bring me. No! I want these babies and I'm having them.

JUST AT THAT MOMENT A NATIVE COMES RUNNING TOWARDS THEM

NATIVE:
Quickly! Come quickly! My wife is giving birth and number 4 is about to be born.

MADONNA SUDDENLY LETS GO OF THE BABY

MADONNA:
Here stick your twins!

SHE STARTS RUNNING TOWARDS THE NATIVES HUT

MADONNA:
Just think of the notoriety attached to quads!!

THE VERY VERY END.

Clearly as your sketch is intended to indicate that the Malawi are unsophisticated primitives who would be prepared to sell their babies, perhaps you should have one of the mothers breast-feeding their baby.
