CUT

like it mate. There's a whole series of sketches in there as well.

Not bad, but a bit of a concern that you had to tell us it was about two tabloid journalists at the start. You'd have to convey that to the viewer somehow from the outset for the sketch to work properly. Maybe a quick bit of dialogue?

They could have cliched notepads or microphones.

Passes around their necks saying "press", although maybe too obvious!

I took me a while to get it but the penny finally dropped. Unless I'm just slow, I think it a little tidy up.
