Here I will post individual sketches I come-up with as time goes by. They are set to become part of another project called The Scaffold Show, which is a play on 'Sketch Show' as it about a group of builders. It probably won't be exclusively sketch-based and I am eventually aiming to include a narrative to string it all together but for now I am just going to post certain sketch ideas that I have.
Below is the first I have written;
____________________________________________________________
SCENE 1. INT. TOMS HOUSE [20.30]
A GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 7 OF FRIENDS ARE SHOWN TALKING AND LAUGHING CASUALLY IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT
TOM:
I'll tell you something, apparently this house is haunted, there was a bloke here a couple of decades ago and he died and ever since then his ghost has been roaming around looking for his long lost possession.
KEVIN:
What's he been looking for?
PAUL:
Where is it?
TOM:
I dunno, I haven't got it.
KEVIN:
This is such rubbish. There are no such things as ghosts!
A WHISTLING COMES FROM THE WALL AND A GHOSTLY APPARITION MATERIALIZES FROM BEHIND IT. ALL OF THE MEN LEAP UP, TERRIFIED AND BACK AWAY FROM THE MYSTERIOUS FIGURE.
GHOST:
(Groans) I am searching for my lost treasures...
THE MEN ARE SHRIEKING IN TERROR, WHEN ONE OF THE MENS FACE'S TURNS FROM FEAR TO CONFUSION.
PAUL:
Hang about...
THE MEN TURN THEIR HEADS TO HIM, STILL IN A STATE OF FEAR. PAUL TURNS TO HIS FRIENDS.
PAUL:
He's black.
HIS FRIENDS LOOK AT HIM, CONFUSED.
PAUL:
There isn't such a thing as black ghosts.
TOM:
H-how do you know?!
PAUL:
Well you never see 'em, do ya?
GHOST:
(Resinating voice) Doesn't mean they don't exist.
PAUL:
But you never see 'em, not in films, not in television, books or anything.
ANOTHER ONE OF THE MEN LOOSES THEIR TERRIFIED FACE.
KEVIN:
Yeah and you're wearing modern clothes!
THE OTHER FRIENDS NOD AND AGREE
GHOST:
So?
PAUL:
He's right. There aren't any ghost in the modern day, they where only around in the Victorian ages.
GHOST:
Hmprh, your ignorance is unbelievable.
ONE OF THE MEN BREAKS-OFF FROM THE CROWDED GROUP OF FRIENDS AND GRABS A CAN OF 'OUST' FROM A CABINET.
KEVIN:
Piss-off!
HE SPRAYS THE GHOST WITH OUST AND HE BEGINS TO DE-MATERIALIZE.
GHOST:
This is outrageous. I am going to be back with my lawyer.
HE DISAPPEARS INTO THE WALL ONCE MORE
KEVIN:
Come on, let's go down to the pub.
THE MEN ALL GRABS THEIR POSSESSIONS AND LEAVE.
