Had an idea for a sitcom and I've got the first episode all done. Here's the begginning. Please let me know your thoughts. Cheers
INT. JOHNNY'S LIVING ROOM - MORNING
JOHNNY CHRIST - The second coming. The son of God. The useless sod
JOHNNY is fast asleep on his couch. His entire body is under a duvet. His face is painted red. His living room is a mess with pizza boxes and beer bottles strewn everywhere. The ANGEL GABRIEL appears next to him.
ANGEL GABRIEL - Dressed all in white with angel wings and a halo
GABRIEL

JOHNNY wakes up with a freight. He is very hungover
JOHNNY
What? What?
GABRIEL
Look at the state of you. Whats that all over your face?
JOHNNY
Go away
GABRIEL
No, I will not go away
JOHNNY
I'll give you a fiver if you go away
GABRIEL
A fiver!?
JOHNNY
It's all I've got
GABRIEL
I'm an Angel. Why on earth would I need a fiver?
JOHNNY
I don't know. For a MacDonalds?
GABRIEL
I don't want a MacDonalds! I'm Angel Gabriel! I can't just walts into a MacDonalds!
JOHNNY
Oh la-di-da
GABRIEL
Get up!
JOHNNY
I don't want to
GABRIEL
I don't care if you want to or not! Why were you not at church yesterday? God's going nuts up there you know
JOHNNY
He's my dad! Why do I need to go to church!?
GABRIEL
You're brother worked very hard to get Christianity on its feet!
JOHNNY
Brilliant. Jesus again. I love hearing about him. Arrogant sod. Oh Jesus died for our sins. Oh Jesus turned water into wine. Oh Jesus parted the sea
GABRIEL
That was Moses
JOHNNY
Who?
GABRIEL
Are you serious?
JOHNNY
Go away
GABRIEL
Get up! You've got visitors coming round soon
JOHNNY
What visitors?
GABRIEL
Two Nuns
JOHNNY
Oh for Christ sake
GABRIEL
You're using your own name in vain! What's wrong with you?
JOHNNY
Nuns are so boring
GABRIEL
They're here to pay their respects! We can't let everyone and their uncle know you're the second coming can we? Look what happened to Jesus
JOHNNY
Jesus again
GABRIEL
It's true! These nuns are your protectors! We have to let them come around and pay their respects!
JOHNNY
I never asked to be the son of God
GABRIEL
Neither did Jesus
JOHNNY
Is that all you talk about?
JOHNNY flings the duvet off of him and sits up. He is dressed as a red devil
GABRIEL
What the!? Why are you dressed like that!?
JOHNNY
Dressed like what?
JOHNNY looks down at himself
JOHNNY
Oh yeah. We were out on the lash last night. Fancy dress
GABRIEL
You're dressed as the devil!!!
JOHNNY
So? Technically he's my uncle
GABRIEL
No he isn't!
JOHNNY
So I can't dress up as the devil but it's ok fo you to dress up like an Angel?
GABRIEL
I am an Angel! I'm Angel Gabriel!
JOHNNY
Yeah, you mentioned that before. Bit full of yourself arn't you?
GABRIEL
Get that costume off immidiately!
JOHNNY
Alright! Stop shouting! My heads pounding!
GABRIEL
You're unbelievable!
