All at sea

All at Sea.

Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and Harriet Harman are on a small boat.

AD: God I feel seasick.

GB: Come on man, we're British, we have the sea in our blood.

AD: The amount I've drunk recently, I've got pure brandy.

HH: I didn't know you had a drink problem Alistair.

AD: You may have noticed I have had a few issues on my plate recently.

GB: Alistair all your problems have now disappeared. Yet again I've saved the world. Well Britain anyway.

HH: Gordon this is great. How?

GB: The English Channel is the busiest shipping lane in the world.

AD: And?

GB TURNS FIDDLES WITH HEAD AND PULLS ON ROPE AND RELEASES FLAG – ITS A JOLLY ROGER. TURNS BACK TO REVEAL EYE PATCH.

GB: Arrrr. Pirates!

Cheers mate :) I Hope your right!

I like the set up, was this anything to do with the pirates in Somalia? I'm not well up on political news.

Yeap - They've just released an oil tanker they have had for three months after the owners paid a ransom of £1.5million!!!

I've got a few eye patches and plastic parrots - if anyone has a boat I'm pretty keen to give it a go

I liked this sketch, but you know what? I think your throw-away comment would be a funnier (and more stageable) way of approaching it. I think GB breaking out the eye patches and plastic parrots in cabinet would be even funnier.
