Mind The Gap Sketch

Constructive criticism appreciated.

A MAN is standing in a station of the London Underground. Suddenly there is an announcement from the SPEAKER. He is wearing a blue tie and glasses.

SPEAKER (V.O.)
Mind the gap. Mind the gap.

The SPEAKER keeps saying the same quote. The MAN looks around. There is no sign of a train arriving.

SPEAKER (V.O.)
Mind the gap.

There is still no sign of the train. The MAN is confused as to why the SPEAKER would say that, until:

SPEAKER (V.O.)
You with the blue tie and glasses, mind the gap.

The MAN looks down. He realizes his fly is down and zips it back up.

SPEAKER (V.O.)
Thank you.

The MAN looks around, embarrassed.

I liked that, Thomas. Nice and quick.

Snappy. Funny. Good.
