SAMUEL(GIVING IT JAZZ HANDS)

It's no loss.

I have no idea what to make of that sketch... I'll leave it to others.

And don't post in block capitals please Sooty, for some reason Aaron hates it more than the French... and he hates the French.

Could you edit pretty please, didn't realise caps lock was on.

Thanks

Stage directions in upper case are perfectly acceptable within a script format.

Otherwise... ahem.

Thanks oh dear is this as bad as I think it is?

I didn't make it clear thanks for correcting me :D

I promote caps in script it's easier to define actions from speech.

Especially if you read a lot of sketches a day :P

A bit too much exposition in this sketch. I know it's exposition for expostion's sake and I do find that funny, but it doesn't stand up in the world of comedy.

I'm sure there's mileage in doing a Jonathon Ross sketch for one of the topicals, but I don't think this is it.
