I wouldn't have them as accountants, I'd make their jobs more pathetic. Or make them pensioners.

This a good idea. Nice and quick too, although I would second what chip says.

There's a job more pathetic than accountants? When did that happen :)

(Says the computer programmer :) ).

It's not bad but it seems to lack a real twist and it's not too true to form.

Most of these shows are full of despicable arse bells who somehow have 100,000s of squids despite being working class and common.

Probably ripped it off benefits or something. So them having 50,000 and being turned down seems like something that wouldn't happen.
