Tilt Idea

I'm a bit embarrased by this one. Do you think there's any chance of this being Tilted? It needs a quick rewrite, but what about the general gist?

Woman: A recent study has shown that Britons spend up to 36 years of their adult life sat on their backside. I’m joined by Doctor Smitz to discuss the impact this is having on the NHS. Hello, Doctor.

Doctor: Hello.

Woman: First of all, what do you think is causing this ‘posterior dependence’?

Doctor: It’s caused by the very debilitating condition we know as… laziness.

Woman: And at what age does this condition start to develop?

Doctor: Just after the moment of conception.

Woman: So it’s a genetic condition.

Doctor: Yes, especially if one of the parents are Scottish.

Woman: And what health risks are associated with this bottom lifestyle?

Doctor: It’s mostly wear and tear to the cheeks.

Woman: And this is where it’s really hitting the NHS isn’t it?

Doctor: (SIGHS) Yes, the amount of derriere transplants has rocketed over the last few years, but the amount of buttocks we have in storage is dangerously low.

Woman: So there’s potentially a ‘butt crisis’ brewing.

Doctor: In more ways than one.

Woman: Thank you, Dr Smitz, and may I just add that if you have any spare buttocks lying around the house, please take them down to your local hospital.

You seem to have the same problem I do with Tilt. Trying to match their newsy bland feel, saps ones writing. it's not a very strong idea, and it's got quite a slack feeling in the writing.

As a sufferer of osteopassivity I don't find this sketch very funny.

Did you just make that up? I went off to google to find out what osteopassivity was and I got one result from the whole internet and that was about dentistry.

I find Tilt quite difficult to write for. I really just don't know.

Sorry, I have missed out here .What is Tilt ?

What the HECK A DE HECK IS TILT ?

aaah right ....BBC 7

uys, guys, listen to me here. It is insanity slagging off Tilt on a public messageboard and then sending sketches to them expecting to be welcomed with open arms.

Well I don't know. You can be fairly anonymous on here.

Osteo-passivity is bone idleness.

:)

I guess so. Do you think the producers of the show spend time on here compiling a blacklist though?

Oh you answered that in your re-edit.

I suspect they have better things to do. But I may rewrite need a pseudonym, how about Griff?

I have changed to my super secret yahoo e-mail.

I reckon I can suck pretty well on my own.

I suppose so. Bitching online isn't going to get you anywhere. Best just to go and punch a brick wall.

Are we being branded lazy now too? Another one for the list...

You waited until page 2 to defend yourself? You slack alice!

PS. Didn't think much of the sketch. Bumbled along without doing much.
