STUDENT:Two D's?! I'll never get into Uni now, Mum!
MAN: Rubbish results? Feeling de-graded? You need the Welsh Exam Board. Forget Gove guidelines. Our results are re-markable.
STUDENT:Mum, two B's!
MAN: Two B's or not two B's? No question - you'll get the grade you need. It's easy! With Welsh Exams.
WOMAN: (Very fast) Minimum standards apply. Grades may go down as well as up.
END
Nice quickie. I like this.
Thanks for the feedback, Alison
smart and tight.
This is solid, but I've seen/heard a lot like this in the past week, so I think you probably need a new angle to make it fly.
Thanks for the responses. I wrote it for Newsjack and they did indeed do a similar one with a film trailer angle.
Yeah, I liked it too. Felt like it needed slightly more; namely, basically 'your very own choice of grade' or something for a more satisfying ending.
The 're-markable' gag is great though.

Thanks Dan, gosh you do go through critique thoroughly. Hadn't posted any here for ages, so I'm glad I gave it another go.
