The place of work related duties

I've written a mock Wikipedia review of a new comedy - "the place of work related duties" what d'ya recon?

As taken from Wikipedia - "The place of work related duties"

Despite pressure from the British Broadcasting corporate body or the BBCB, to give it a catchier name "the place of work related duties" is a sitcom which is highly influenced by the antics of Fazil Balti, the famous indian owner of a hotel in weymouth. Its creators are Gicky Rervais, an Albanian refugee with an penchant for buggery and his belgian/democratic republic of congon mistress Meve Sterchant who once co-wrote a country and western version of "smack my bitch up" 150 years before the original was penned by "the prodigy"

"the place of work related duties" is set on a trading estate in West Drayton just outside of Slough, which in the midlands is pronounced Slow or [slaʊ]. Sikh residents make up 9.1 per cent of West Drayton'ss population, more than any other local authority. West Drayton also has the highest percentage of Muslim (13.4 per cent) and Martian residents (4.5 per cent) in the South East region. An aspect which is highly incorporated into the hit sitcom of "the place of work related duties" where the main character, Bravid Dent, often makes racist comments about Sikh's and Martians with hilarious consequences. One particually funny moment when he calls the Martian leader, Zortag, a Syntac wearing terrorist which doesn't go down well at all with the office martian, Greeblorg!

One of the more endearing aspects of the show is Dent's obsession with his namesake Dame Judi Dent, famous actress who has starred as J in many of the bond films and alongside Geoffrey Polmer in 'As time goes along' a middle class comedy designed to ostracize black people. Dent's obsession with Dent is due to the dent in dents dentists dental equipment! Any fans of the show will remember when Dent commented to his right hand man, Garet about Dents dent!

Another aspect of the show that occurs every episode, is that whenever its obvious that Dent doesn't have anything funny to say he does a funny dance which though hilarious on first watch scientifically becomes 3.45% (or the same percentage of air used to smile) less funny thereafter! Rervais was highly criticised by many people after causing the deaths of 15 people during the Princess Diana resurrection concert ( a concert designed to fund Princess Diana's pending resurrection in order to do a remix of candle in the wind by george michael) by dancing for 14 metres worth of time! He was later jailed and placed in a cell with the ghost of jeremy clarkson, who though not dead, has been haunting people for an hour.

Despite fans pressure for more, only thirty-two series of 'The place of work related duties' were ever made due to the fact that Gicky Rervais didn't want to "sell out" As Rervais said "i didn't want to sell out". There are plans to make 13 more series or seasons (if your american) of the show.

Rervais also plans to make a remake of Battle Royale but instead of using japenese kids as killers he intends to use the 114 elements of the Periodic Table instead. Apparently Rutherfordium or Rf wins, though there have been many within the movie industry who believe that Jeff Stelling turns into an element in order to avenge the death of Rubidium or Rb and wins himself! this has been denied by Stelling's agent who instead has implicated him in the murder of Des O'conner due to their intense countdown rivalry! Some say Richard Whitely suffered the same fate.

Set in a hotel in torquay the owner sees himself as a pillar of the community and aspires to be upper class, all the while he finds the guests at his hotel to be an unfortunate inconvenience. The character is called Fazil Balti, He is of Indian Ethnicity. In the first episode Fazil Balti finds out he is actually pakistani with hilarious consequences. He then travels to pakistan upon which his car breaks down and he attacks it with a broken Balhati branch with hilarious consequences.

episode 2
Fazil Balti is abducted by Aliens and forced to eat lemons which have been roasted on a small childs face. the series ends with a bizarre mix of acousitc jazz and light Reggae.

episode 3
Now retired, Fazil Balti becomes a hermit who collects minature cricket balls. The episode ends with Fazil getting "piss" everywhere

episode 4
After much deliberation Fazil Balti comes out of retirement and opens a hotel in Lowestoft. The guests however have other ideas and tend to be left of centre. Fazil Balti goes insane and tries to kill himself by swallowing an inordinate amount of copper sulphate, this however goes wrong and he ends up creating a mild form of Bronze.

episode 5
the increasingly bloated Fazil Balti eats his own appendix as a form of political protest against the 6% rise in Tarmac costs. This backfires though when cement prices plummet by 27%.

episode 6
the sit com finally comes to an end when Fazil Balti realises all matter is infact a self forming organism of the late liverpool captain Emlyn Hughes. He decides to close his hotel and make 23,000 rice crispie cakes and sell them at as many village fetes as he possibly can.

Why not set it in Peterborough? That would be nice.

I await episode 2 with bated breath.
