This would probably be better as a radio sketch than looking at someone on the phone.

Not bad, I quite like it, howz about some adverts in there as well?

Yes I think that this could do with being longer, perhaps an option of which type of voice you want to hear telling you the time.....'the erotic speaking clock'

Worth a rewrite, this one.

Not a bad idea there, woman with sexy voice coming on and telling the time. Prob some 70 year old slapper though... " At the third stroke, ooh baby those strokes are so good, it will be eight o cock."

Like the idea but a bit confusing the way you've done it. Matt's right -- well worth a rewrite.

OK. Cheers all, I'll have a think. I wasn't sure about making it longer, it seemde like the sort of sketch to get in, a couple of fast gags and out quick. I'll tinker with it.
