END

The pace is astonishing, I kinda looked at this sketch and knew I'd like it.

Quite 2 Ronnies, maybe needs one more line, jsut to make it clear how silly this guy asking for a paper he knows everything about is.

Thanks Stooty,I've got a pile of one liner things from last weeks papers and didn't know what to do with them.

Really like that line!

Great sketch.

I was just thinking of cutting some out of this and adding something new,and maybe sending it off to Newsrevue,could use it as a bit of a runner,one sketch for the mid week papers another for the weekend papers.Any thoughts?

Could work but usually they'd want you to tie it ore firmly to one story.

As a runner I'd break it up into 3-4 interactions and send them.

Really enjoyed them two lines the most.

With a little adaptation these could make good 118118 gags.
