It's pretty good, and a nice visual gag. You could make it clearer how the transition happens from watching TV, to watching the fire. Also maybe a but more emphasis on what the dad is reading? Is he barmy and reading junk mail, or is he reading about his house repossession?

It works and yet it doesn't. Is it part of something bigger? It seems to be pointlessly setting up a scenario rather than delivering a discrete sketch.

The contrast is nice, but what's the point to it?

I thought that you could deliver the same punchline and completely get rid of the first half of the sketch, and then thought if this is done it highlights the completely random and bizarre nature of the sketch.
