Property Ladder

INT. DAY. THE MAIN ROOM OF A LARGE COUNTRY HOUSE. THE FRENCH WINDOWS AND STANDARD WINDOWS ARE VISIBLE. STANDING IN THE CENTRE IS A VERY HAPPY HUSBAND WITH HIS ARM AROUND HIS EQUALLY HAPPY WIFE. THEY ARE TALKING TO A SARAH BEANIE-TYPE PRESENTER FRONTING A 'PROPERTY LADDER'-TYPE SHOW.

SARAH BEANIE: You’re quite right, it’s very beautiful.

PAN TO: ALL THREE OF THEM LOOKING TOWARDS THE WINDOWS. THE FRENCH WINDOWS REVEAL BEAUTIFUL MEADOWS. THE NEXT WINDOW REVEALS BEAUTIFUL WOODLANDS.

SARAH BEANIE: Was the proximity of local amenities, the deciding factor in buying the property?

HAPPY WIFE: Oh no, not at all.

SARAH BEANIE: The price?

HAPPY WIFE: (Both the WIFE and her HUSBAND look lovingly at each other and nod ‘no’ to SARAH BEANIE).

PAN TO: THE NEXT WINDOW REVEALS AN ALPINE LAKE. THE FINAL WINDOW REVEALS SNOW-CAPPED ALPS.

CUT TO: EXTERIOR OF HOUSE. HUGE, THEATRICAL, SCENERY BACKDROP SETS, ARE BUTTED UP AGAINST EACH WINDOW.

HAPPY WIFE: (V/O) We bought it for the scenery.

Laughing out loud :D Laughing out loud :)

:D :D :D

Annoyingly enough I can see this skit getting made, and being succesful, even though I don't like it.

If you can draw, I'd do it as a cartoon, it's very Viz.

Nope, here it stays on the forum.
I'd rather send something that I think has legs straight out than risk potential copyright infringements, than take a risk answering 'no' to: "Has this work been performed, broadcast, published or seen by the public before?"
