The No 10 Pizza Company.

Gordon Brown is sat at his desk. Alistair Darling enters wearing a chefs hat and FT under arm.

AD: Morning Gordon.

GB: Oh Christ Darling! What the hell have you come up with now?

AD: You'll like this.

GB: I'm sure.

AD: "The No 10 Pizza Company."

GB: Pizza's? Why.

DARLING SLAPS FT ON DESK.

AD: Domino's profits up 20%! People are so depressed they're staying at home and scoffing tonnes of pizza.

BROWN PICKS UP FT

GB: Profits of £23million. With that sort of money I could have a nice Hawaiian holiday.

AD: Pizza's always in fashion Gordie.

GB: You might say it's a business for all Four Seasons of the year then?

AD: Absolutely.

GB: Well I really fancy a slice of the action.

AD: Do you? Well that's brilliant.

GB: Of course I do.

AD: Good job really, the Milliband boys are already trying out their new delivery scooters.

GB: Are they old enough to ride one?

AD: And old Mandy looks really good in his high visibility jacket.

GB: If he gets any more high visibility I start to think he's after my job.

AD: Well you know Peter.

GB: Hang On Darling – Surely Dominos has got this market sewn up?

AD: Ah – well this is the clever part

GB: Go on.

AD: Dominio's cut their pizza's into 10 slices.

GB Right. So?

AD: I'm going to take out their share of the market by giving our customers better value for money.

GB: How?

DARLING LOOKS ROUND TO MAKE SURE NO ONE CAN HEAR

AD: I'm cutting our pizzas into 12 slices!

Ends

A pretty good sketch there bigfella.

It's a great idea, a very absurd knee-jerk desperate scheme you could see them driven too. Maybe you could make it even more ridiculous and have Darling putting on a bad fake Italian accent whilst wearing a big comedy mustache (to match his comedy eyebrows).

Personally I don't think you need all of Gordon's prompting comments, I think they would make it drag a bit when read aloud. Plus Darling would be quite excited I guess and rattling off the details of his great plan without waiting for the 'Hows?' and 'Go ons'.

Are you sending to the 7 opp.?

Mr Pie.

Mr Pie.

Cheers for the comments.

I've already sent my three off last night so this isn't one of them. The theory was to get in quick. But maybe I got too excited and acted with haste. - We shall see!

Top of the Pile! :)

Good luck.

I thought that was really funny. You managed to fit a lot of jokes into a short sketh. V. pacey.

I'm quite new to this though, so not exactly a seasoned commentator.

i.w.a.a.
