I'd love to see this...

I've an idea for a new sitcom called "Marc P & Random: Private Detectives".

INT. OFFICE SETTING. DULWICH HAMLET. DAY

Random: You the man, MarcP Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

Marc P: Quite. Now, about this case... Oh, an itchy nose. You know what that means?

Random: High pollen count :D

Marc P: Hmmm. This case. The double homicide. Any leads?

Random: What case? Remember when we first met? I still think that wanking scene shoulda stayed in. We mightn't be here now. We could be on repeats on Dave :O :O I heard the main suspect's fled to India, what time is it over there?

Marc P: It's a well-known fact that if one turns their watch upside down that's the time in India.

RANDOM TWISTS HIS NECK UPSIDE DOWN AND LOOKS AT HIS WRIST.

Marc P: It doesn't work with digital watches.

TO BE DISCONTINUED.

The copy cat sketch returns, wasn't hugely funny though.

:)

What's a copy cat sketch (I'm newish, see)?

Nah, knew it wasn't funny, just enjoyed their banter on the "Posties" thread.

When you write a sketch in some one else's style and see if people can get who you're copying.

Great way to start a fight.

On the plus side, at least each line of dialogue didn't run to 17 pages. :P

my bad...Wave

Def.

Funnily enough I did also once write a pilot radio script featuring a private detective and a lawyer.
