Topical sketch of the last week

Think might be a bit obvious and have some tenuous links, but the Clarkson story meant I couldn't resist:

ANDREW SACHS AND GEORGINA BAILLIE ARE SITTING AT A TABLE, WHEN THE HOTEL OWNER WALKS OVER TO THEM:

OWNER:
Good afternoon Mr Sachs, Miss Baillie. Can I get you a drink?

ANDREW SACHS:
Yes, please. Can I have some water? In a glass?

OWNER:
What? Russell Brand f**ed your granddaughter? In the…?

AS:
No, I said I'd like some water.

OWNER:
Sorry? No, I didn't mention the whore. And what can I get you, young lady?

GB:
Just water too. Can I also order the asparagus tart?

OWNER:
Certainly, so that's aparagus for the tart…

AS:
Sir, you have no right to speak to her like that. Can't you see you're upsetting her.

OWNER:
Well, she started it.

AS:
No she didn't

OWNER:
Yes she did. She slept with Russell Brand

AS:
Come on Georgina, let's go. There's a Pizza Hut round the corner where they know how to be behave.

OWNER:
Eh? She's a Satanic Slut in a porno, and she kept a sex slave?

SACHS AND BAILLIE GET UP ANGRILY AND LEAVE.

JEREMY CLARKSON ENTERS.

OWNER:
Jeremy Clarkson! (TO JEREMY) Whatever you do, don't mention the whore! I did once, but I think I got away with it. So let's all just forget all about it.

ENTER MANUEL (SACHS), WHO THUMPS CLARKSON AND THE OWNER ON THE HEAD WITH A FRYING PAN:

MANUEL:
Oh Meester, the BBC is Faulty, it presenters are chauvinists and sexual deviants, only a semi-racist Spanish stereotype can save it now!

That's rather fun and a tribute to 2 fine shows, hope you sent it somewhere.

LOL @ "don't mention the whore."

Reminds me a bit of that Don't Mention The War sketch I wrote a couple of months back (about the Russia/Georgia conflict) http://www.mikeyj.info/Dont_Mention_The_War.php

Yeah, I must confess it did cross my mind you'd done something very similar a while back with the Georgia thing, (the Georgina and Fawlty probs triggered the memory) - yours was very good indeed.

With the addition of Clarkson, I suppose it really does sound like one of yours.

Thanks for the comments

Nice topical sketch Rob0.
