Sir Walter

INT. ELIZABETHAN COURT . DAY

QUEEN ELIZABETH AND SEVERAL COURTIERS ARE STANDING ABOUT LOOKING RATHER BORED. SUDDENLY A FANFARE OF TRUMPETS SOUNDS.

VOICE (OS)
May it please your Majesty to receive Sir Walter Raleigh who returns from his travails on the oceans were he has visited the New World.

RALEIGH ENTERS

QUEEN:
My Lord pray welcome and what have you brought from your voyage for your Queen to brighten up this tiresome day?

RALEIGH:
Your Majesty, I have travelled to the far Americas and have brought back a thing so wondrous that truly it will change the very way in which we live our lives.

QUEEN:
But my Lord, you appear only to have a scroll in your hands. How can it be so that such a thing as mere writing may cause such changes?

RALEIGH:
True M'am it be only a scroll but if you will permit me to continue.

QUEEN:
Please proceed Sir Walter.

RALIEIGH UNFURLS THE SCROLL AND CLEARS HIS THROAT.

RALEIGH:
Political Correctness, a beginner's guide...

I think you missed an apostrophe in the last line.

EDIT

Damn you! Fast edit!

Sketch... is ok. Glad it wasn't about potatoes.

Ha ha. I wondered if I could change it in time,

I'm not sure that it makes much sense. Why would he bring back 'political correctness' from the Americas? It's not as though it's associated with America. Maybe I'm being too logical.

It's not a bad idea, but PC and America seem a tenuos link.

Maybe Cook from the Left Windies, or the Independent Islands of Guardian?

Interesting response guys (Ben & SJ) and just shows how we see things differently.

I believe that most of the very silly PC stuff, so beloved of our Councils - dangerous hanging baskets & Winter lights (or should that be Bens ) etc, was first championed in the States.

However if it wasn't then the joke don't woik no way no how

California may be a stronger theme.

US is just to vague, you wouldn't call Texas or the Deep South stereotypically PC?
