INT. DINING ROOM

(BOY is sitting at the dining room table, in front of him is a big plate full of brightly coloured sweets, he has his head on his chin, he looks very glum and is moving one of the sweets around with is fork. MUM is standing behind him looking stern.)

MUM:
Now you've got to eat them all or you don't get your vegetables.

BOY:
Awww Mum, they're yucky, can't I just have my veggies now?

MUM:
At least try eating a few, you like the jelly beans, try a few of those.

BOY:
Oh Ok, I'll try.

(Boy places a few jelly beans in his mouth and grimaces as he chews and swallows.)

BOY:
Can I have my vegetables now please mum, I tried, I can't eat any more sweets.

MUM:
Oh Okay, I suppose so.

(MUM walks into kitchen, DAD is standing there expectantly)

DAD:
Did it work?

MUM:
Yup, like a treat, I love this reverse psychology lark.

(MUM grabs a big steaming plate of Brussel Sprouts, Carrots, Broccoli & Cauliflower and takes it into the Dining room.)

A MAN ENTERS A SWEET SHOP, AN ASSISTANT IS STANDING AT THE TILL AND SMILING MANICALLY...

ASSISTANT: Ah! Hello there what can I do for you?

MAN: Well what do you have on offer?

ASSISTANT: Well sir we have: sour cola bottles, fizzy blues, sour wine gums, sour liquorice and strawberry laces, sour dolly mixture, sour pick and mix and lemons sir.

MAN: Do you have anything else?

ASSISTANT: A very sour old wellington boot...

MAN: Why are trying to sell me an old boot?

ASSISTANT: I'm not, it's my wife.

MAN: Right, do you have anything sweet?

ASSISTANT: Well, no actually, but there is my daughter.

MAN: What?!

ASSISTANT: My daughter, she is very sweet, gets very snotty from time to time though.
(A WOMAN SNEEZES)
ASSISTANT: See there she goes again, it must be November.

MAN: Enough! Look I'm sorry Joe, but you just aren't right for the job of assistant.

ASSISTANT: Ok, thanks anyway Mr Gillis.
(ASSISTANT (JOE) LEAVES THE SHOP, MAN (MR GILLIS) SHUTS THE DOOR)
MAN: Everybody's a bloody comedian these days.

**Scene opens in the foyer of Wonka's Chocolate Factory, a man dressed in a grey suit (IAN) is talking to lots of children and their parents**

IAN: Welcome children, we're so glad you could come. This is going to be such an exciting day. Would you please all show me your Golden Tickets.

LITTLE GIRL: Ummm excuses me but, but, where is Mr Wonka?

IAN: Oh little girl, how adorably naïve, Mr Wonka is just a fictional personification intended to give the brand a more personal touch for our target demographic.....right? ok?

**Confused faces, raised eyebrows from parents**

IAN: Right? Riiight...who wants to begin the tour?

CHILDREN: Yaayyyy!!!

**Ian moves towards a big wooden door, they crowd round and he gently pushes it open**

IAN: Welcome.....to the room of.... synergies!

**Music stirs, doors swing open to reveal lots of people typing at desks silently in a cavernous, bleak corporate office**

IAN: Wonka is one of the largest brands of confectionary in the world. In this very room, our operational heads, together with our business analysts, promote synergies throughout our global franchise....Over here is where we highlight cost efficiencies..... over there is where we drive efficiency across the group!.... and did you know that on this very spot, our global co-head of aquisitions agreed the terms to our takeover of ChocoCorp's Chinese operations...which has since delivered 23% underlying revenue growth year on year!

*more blank faces*

LITTLE BOY: umm Mr Wonka Sir

IAN: My name is Ian Chittick...but yes?

LITTLE BOY: we want to see where you make all of the yummy wonka chocolate *smiles*

IAN: *kneels down* - Well then young man.....you'll have to get on a plane to the Sichuan province in China! We offshored our production over three years ago, reducing headcount by 65% in region and driving down production costs by a third! Isn't that incredible!

*Blank stares, visible anger from parents, little boys lip starts to quiver*

IAN: well alright... I usually save this part of the tour until last, but as you're special

**"Pure Imagination" - Willy Wonka Film Music strikes up** Childrens faces beam with smiles, parents look reassured and excited

Ian: *Sings* Come with me.... and you'll see..... where we plan our global distribution....

NEWSROOM.

ANCHOR:..."We now go live to the scene with our Reporter Colin Burtweed."

CUT TO COLIN. HE STANDS BEFORE THE GATES OF A FACTORY, NOW JUST SMOKING RUBBLE.

COLIN:
"It's the morning after the night before and the clean-up of broken glass, charred benches and abandoned sweetie wrappers begins. Where once stood this famous factory now stands only rubble. Last night Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory burned to the ground.

According to police, a parcel addressed to factory owner Willy Wonka was received yesterday morning. Mr Wonka was out of the country attending take over discussions with food giant Kraft, so the parcel was left unattended in his office. At 7.30 last night the package exploded, causing an inferno that would eventually sweep through the building, killing 12 Umpa Loompas.

It's not clear who carried out this horrific attack but police strongly suspect one time cartoon funny man, now underworld lynchpin Postman Pat to be behind the attack.

Pat, who was arrested in 2003 for smuggling sherbet lemons over the Mexican border, has long claimed that Wonka is the mastermind behind many of the UK's largest sweetie smuggling operations. At the time of Pat's arrest investigators could find no evidence to support his claims so no case was brought against Wonka.

After serving 3 years of a 45 year sentence Postman Pat was released on the grounds of exceedingly good behavior. However, he found it difficult to find work and soon fell back into criminal world of sweetie smuggling.

Pat rose quickly in the criminal underworld, making his name transporting illicit Wine Gums in Eastern Europe. With a reputation of being both cruel and ruthless he became the head of "The Candy Gang" in 2010. Former Boss, Peppa Pig has never been found.

It's known that Postman Pat still bears a grudge against Wonka for his part in Pat's 2003 arrest. It now appears that Pat has decided to take sweet revenge.

This is Colin Burtweed reporting, outside the charred remains of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory."

A DAD IS WAITING FOR HIS SON OUTSIDE SCHOOL, WHEN A MUM, MANDY, STARTS TALKING TO HIM.

MANDY -
Congratulations Dave, what are you going to call her?

DAVE -
We haven't made our minds up yet. Michelle wants to call her Starburst.

MANDY -
Starburst?

DAVE -
Yeah, she thinks it sounds exotic, but I think it just sounds like a sweet.

MANDY -
Yeah, well, it does really.

DAVE -
I mean, what sort of a person's going to name their kid after a sweet?

MANDY SHRUGS. A TEACHER RUSHES OUT TO GET DAVE'S ATTENTION.

TEACHER -
Excuse me, Mr Bow, can I have a word about your Harry?

A Young Man, collar and tie, approaches the gates of a rundown building.

He checks his paperwork, looks puzzled.

An Older Man, wearing a large hearing aid, meets him at the gates.

OLDER MAN
Hello Lad, we spoke on the phone, right?

YOUNG MAN
Yes, I'm here to start. Today's my first day.

OLDER MAN
I see, I see.. Come this way.

The Older Man leads the Younger Man through the gates.

Younger Man makes nervous chit-chat.

YOUNGER MAN
This is has always been a dream job of mine in a way, ever since I was a little kid...

OLDER MAN
Eh..?

YOUNGER MAN
When you said the job was working in a sweet shop I couldn't believe my luck because when I was a ----

The Older Man opens up the doors of the rundown building.

Inside are forty tables. Behind which, sat working on sewing machines, are many tired, overworked and hungry looking children. They stitch leather footballs together and sew emblems on shirts.

YOUNGER MAN
---- Ahh, I see....

                    MOTHER
          Right, Charlie, what sweets would 
          you like?

                    CHARLIE

                    MOTHER
          I beg your pardon!

                    CHARLIE
          F**king polos, get me some f**king 
          polos.

Mother slaps Charlie round the earhole.

                    MOTHER
          You use language like that, my boy,
          and all you'll get is the back of 
          my hand.

Charlie rubs his sore ear.

                    MOTHER
          Right, what would you like?

Charlie bites his lip and ponders.

                    CHARLIE
          Get me some fruit gums.

                    SHOPKEEPER
          I thought you wanted polos.

                    CHARLIE
          I do, but she won't buy me any 
          f**king polos.

SLAP.
