Well that was fan bloody tastic, really professional, slick, and nicely performed.

A great premise, that really worked.

Are you selling paper cats?

thanks sooty. paper cat is currently dating so if you're game for a paper kitten.......

Paper Cat for president!

What's that Paper Cat?

He says this sketch was well written and performed. But could imagine there was more opportunity for laughs in this situation, which at the end of the day, is a pretty good idea.

Can I offer a suggestion for a villain for future episodes, will of course PM if you like.

you're right. that's why this is episode 1 of at least 2 !

It's an idea with potential. Just needs to be a teensy weensy bit funnier.

I liked the idea, but didn't find any mirth in it. I opine that you need to crank up the conflict between doctor and patient.

I think having a doctor called Dr Twat - who, wait for it, has a paper cat - is a fine stroke of comedy that you can't go wrong with.

"Can't go wrong in comedy if you learn these two basic rules: Have a doctor and name him Doctor Twat, and rule two, have him looking after a paper cat."

It was very well done but I thought it moved a little slowly; it could've been pacier. I think it needed another (perhaps surreal) ending, or been limited to a pacier 1-minute piece; I think I'd agree that it was a very funny idea, performed and filmed really well, but lacking a certain "X factor" to make it really, really good.

I enjoyed it greatly, anyway.

That's a good point.

thanks for checking it out. and i agree the pacing needs to be tightened. hopefully have it nailed for their next outing.

i showed this to a friend without viewing it and I was let down.

poor research on my part and rubbish to you too!

I love all things Planet Giraffe and this is a great idea but I do echo the pace comments. Hats off for the production side of it too.

Yes it was filmed well. What sort of camera did you film it on?
