Bill Cash Expenses

Another expenses related sketch. Feedback appreciated.

BILL CASH IS SAT AT A DESK WITH A POLICE OFFICER QUESTIONING HIM. A LAMP IS SHONE IN HIS FACE.

POLICEMAN:
So Bill I'm expected to believe that you were living at your daughters flat, that she rented it to you and you legally claimed expenses for said flat...Is that correct?

BILL CASH:
Yes officer that's absolutely right.

POLICEMAN:
Even though you have a home closer to Westminster?

BILL CASH:
(SHOUTING) Yes...yes honestly I've told you all this a hundred times.

POLICEMAN:
Well Mr Cash I've been round to said flat and had a look around. The current tenant assures me that it hasn't been decorated since you left. Could you tell me what colour the bedroom is please Mr Cash.

BILL CASH:
Now look officer it was a long time ago I couldn't possibly remember such details.

POLICEMAN:
It was pink Mr Cash, pink with ballerinas painted on the walls; one would imagine you'd remember that.

BILL CASH:
Oh yes of course I remember now I'm a big fan of the ballet and um pink helps me think.

POLICEMAN:
You make me sick. I'm going to throw the book at you. You can stay here until you're willing to tell the truth.

POLICEMAN STORMS OUT, AS HE DOES BILL CASH STANDS UP TO STOP HIM. REVEALING HE'S WEARING A PINK TUTU AND TIGHTS UNDER THE DESK.

END

Was this sketch so mediocre nobody even has an opinion ? I think nothing is worse than negative feedback.

Do you mean nothing is worse than no feedback?

I didn't think it was too bad, topical with a nice twist at the end.

Thanks for taking the time Fred.

Hm, not followed the story that closely - is it disputed that Cash actually lived at the flat?

That's the suggestion yes. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/may/29/bill-cash-rent-expenses
