Exotic Locations

We see a room full of undercover police officers talking among themselves excitedly

They all fall silent as a man in a suit enters the room and addresses them.

DI JOHNSON
"I don't have to tell you that this case is priority one! I've been given the green light by upstairs and despite the cuts this is a full on investigation. That, as you all know, means that there will be no shortage of travel or overtime on this one."

All the officers start rubbing their hands and talking among themselves excitedly.

DI JOHNSON
"Also as the victim is originally from the Seychelles, we are going to split the team and send one half over there to get some background on the victim"

The officers chatter excitedly

DI JOHNSON
"The other half will have to go to Antigua as we have information to suggest that the killer may have fled there?"

The officers are shaking each other's hands and patting each other on the back.

A uniformed constable then enters the room and hands a slip of paper to DI Johnson.

DI Johnson looks at the paper and then screws it up.

The officers see this and stop celebrating.

DI JOHNSON
"The bastards handed himself in Hull!"

The officers troop sullenly out of the room, the last one kicks the waste bin over.

This one I like, very nice Teddy.

I like this one too.
It makes sense & would make a nice little scene in the right hands.

Yeah, decent little sketch.

This one's been around before, too: the jollies being dished out - exotic 1 + exotic 2 + mundane UK. Was it Drop the Dead Donkey? Yes, Minister?

Saying you have seen sketches before is fine with me, I haven't it seen this one.
Then again I haven't seen the episode of Yes Minister were they're all police officers so I couldn't possibly comment.

As for Drop the Dead Donkey I don't remember them sending out teams to arrest murderers either?
Have you got a friend in the 'Out Takes Department'?

I like this.
i wonder if you could play with the fact that there's more than one Hull in the world....
" Ah, but which Hull, that's the question , Sarge..."
That way they could resume their scam.
I Googled it and there's a Polynesian island call Hull Island.

And it's not plagiarism, by the way.
Not even close.

I was tempted to write Barnsley.

Another winner Teddy, apart from having a go at Yorkshire. What about Preston!! :P

I have a weakness for Preston after having sex with a local in the bus station toilets.

Fair enough Teddy, watch out Mills and Boon don't nick that romantic story for a new book. ;)

I doubt Mills & Boon would touch that one Nicky, its more likely to feature on Crimewatch after the state I left that cubicle in!

There wasn't an opened cardboard box in there was there?

No, but I detected the odour of bleach and Brut after shave it was a heady mixture that stayed in my nostrils long after I escaped the clutches of the attendant and made good my alighting of the next bus to Liverpool.
