Phone Sketch #2

To cut a long story short, I wrote an inferior version of this:

Thanks

Yeah it was okay, seemed a little forced though.

I'm so impressed with the rate you write sketches though, I wish I had your drive.

It's quality, not quantity though that matters.

I was going to mention that maybe you should start working on sketches longer, rather then jumping onto the next one. Not that most if your sketches are bad, just some do feel rushed and in their first draft.

You write sketches with a good consistency of quality. I do think though if you took even longer on each sketch you could do better a lot better.

Watching some old Fry and Laurie sketches the other day and noticed that their sketches were 5 minutes long on average. I know it's not the trend nowadays but I do think that you right some good jokes and maybe some of you sketches can be joined together to make a much more satisfying piece.

Yeah, that's probably a good idea. I'll work over some older ones tonight and see what I come up with.

Ben can start them and get them running but has the damnedest time closing them and tying them off.

I'm exactly the opposite.

It's a missed opportunity to collaborate.

I'd be careful leaving your door open to that Skubber bloke. Last time I did he snuck into my house and swapped my bath sponge for a wreath of nettles.

Got to say Winty, not your very best. You can sort it though.

Don't think it'll ever beat the original:

David Renwick's writing at it's best.

Ah, so this is the 2 Ronnies one. I think I'm going to give up on this idea!
