Social unrest

A quick idea I had on the way to work, probably just a short radio sketch.

--

A COUPLE OF MEN IN THEIR EARLY TWENTIES ARE TALKING IN A PUB..

MAN 1

It's disgusting, the apathy in this country.

MAN 2

I know. So many people think it's enough just to vote, then lay back and accept all the lies, like there's nothing they can do.

MAN 1

I mean, look at France. Why can't the British have that same spirit of revolt?

MAN 2

Yeah. How does Katie keep getting through, anyway?

Not sure I get the punchline on this.

They are talking about X Factor chip!

That's me out. I only watch high-end high-brow high-falutin telly. Whistling nnocently

I got it, but not on the first read.

It's a good idea, and you've got the right words, but maybe not in the right order. Try making one more outraaged, andthe other more confused.

Oh, and use 'Wagner' instead he's instantly recognisable and there are too many Katies in the public eye.

I haven't been able to watch that since its Christopher Timothy heyday.

Nice little topical quickie. IMO

Thanks for the feedback guys!
