Scene1 of The English remake of "The Avengers Assemble" a k a " The Placators Apologise, -While Backing Away". The follow-up "The Placators II - No Honestly, It Was My Fault..." will never "hit" our screens, but might sidle on, trying not to draw attention to itself.
A bus stop in the throbbing mega city of Bracknellopolis.
OLD LADY: Does the Number 86 still go round the ring road, via the Crematorium?
PETER PUTNEY: No, you want the Alternative Bank Holiday Service passed the abbatoir.
THUG: Out of my way Old Lady! And you, Man in Beige Chino's !
OLD LADY: Ooh! You can't jump the queue like that!
THUG: Who's gonna stop me?
PETER PUTNEY: (thinking) Looks like a job for my secret alter-ego! Right! To the nearest unisex changing cubicle at George at Asdas!
OLD LADY: Ooh, I'll never get back in time for Bradley Walsh on The Chase now!...: Or maybe I will!... finally here's someone to stand up to you with a display of traditionally mild British indignation!... It's ...!
THUG: "QUEUE TUTTING MAN"!!!?
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: Yes!
THUG: You'll never stop me pushing in line, Queue Tutting Man!
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: We'll see about that! When the bus arrives...
(they wait for the bus to arrive.....)
( due to a snarl up on the A3095 at the Bagshot Road roundabout, this takes some time)
THUG: There's probably a snarl up on the A3095 at theBagshot Road Roundabout. C**t.
OLD LADY: Bradley'll be laughing at his own jokes by now...naughty boy!
QUEUE TUTTING MAN:... Y'know, they found 13 Asylum Seekers on the Number 48 night bus.
OLD LADY: That's why I stood for Councellor for the E.D.L.
THUG: Ah, here it is... You'll not stop me getting on first, Queue Tutting Man!
( wheezing, stuttering sound as the elderly bus arrives, it's door opening slowly)
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: Perhaps not, but it's time someone took a stand and said " enough is enough! , ... If you don't mind? "
THUG: Here I go!...
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: Tut...
THUG: Did you say something?...
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: Um... no...
THUG: I thought you made a vague sound in the back of your throat?...
QUEUE TUTTING MAN : Um.. no.
THUG: Thought not. Hey! Weren't you stood in the queue infront of the old lady, wearing a slightly different shade of brown chino?...
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: Um... no... I've only just arrived. I was called here by a signal from the roof of the Centre for Social Justice, like the Bat Signal, but a pair of pursed lips.
OLD LADY: Looks more like a slack anus to me.
THUG: Yes, they were 'beige', now they re "tope" - I'm a Senior Buyer in "Gentlemens Casuals" at Burtons Menswear. You were standing there in line!...
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: No, I'm... Well not a Crime Fighter as such... I' m a Comentator on Minor Social Injustice...This is my Minor Social Injustice Commenting Costume.....
OLD LADY: Looks more like a slack anus to me.
SHOP ASSISTANT: (running to join them) Oi, you haven't paid for those chinos Mr Putney!
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: My secret identity is blown!!! How did you know my name? Did I leave my wallet in my other chinos?
THUG : No, your Mum has written your name in biro on the George at Asdas, plain, pack of 3, y-fronts you're wearing as a mask.
BUS DRIVER: Are you Bastards getting on or not?
THUG: Yes.
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: Tut...
THUG: You getting on Carley?
SHOP ASSISTANT: Yeah, alright Jayden, how's Burtons?
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: Tut tut...
THUG: Room for one more Gran.
OLD LADY: Ooh Bradley, I'm coming, out of my way, Loser.
QUEUE TUTTING MAN: Tut... Oi wait a minute! I've got a super saver, multi trip day ticket!
(sound of the bus door slamming shut and the bus moving off)
