SCENE4

2 BBC EXECS ARE TALKING TO AN UNSEEN 3RD FIGURE.

EXEC1
Look the jam sketches just aren't funny.

EXEC2
Jam is so last year everyone wants marmite. Can't we use the other part of your identity?

WE SEE THE 3RD PERSON IS A ROBINSON'S GOLLY.

GOLLY
Is it because I is a racist characature? You hypocrites!

Will reply later, but had a scan through this and I like the ending and the shift of perspective it puts on the three opening scenes.

I have no idea how anyone could film this without torpedoing their career!
But it could be fun.

"The best sketch ever written on BSG"
- Paul Weller.

Wow are you Paul Weller Mr Blobster?

Jam-making me laugh Mr Sooty.

No jam puns from me, it's not my tate and lyle. Anyway you've curd it all before.

This is a very well written sketch with some stupidly funny lines. 'I called my company Jamstrad because I love jam!'

Jammy to get so many positive responses. You should preserve them all.

I liked the nice spread as well.

I was gonna do the 'jammy' one, but I bottled it. I thought it might jar.

It was an open door. Or was it a jar?

Thanks I Tiptree my hat to you all.

Had Tiptree jam sandwiches for lunch yesterday. Not a joke, just coincidental timing.

Not practical to make, but really enjoyed what you did here. Rose above just squeezing in puns.

As Bob Marley may have said to this sketch:

We're jammin' -
To think that jammin' was a thing of the past;
We're jammin',
And I hope this (no artificial preservative) jam is gonna last.

You know thinking on this with a little simplification it could be done.
You know Sugar just clips him with the newspaper that sorta thing.

I really really like this sooty. You should have warning though : this jam may contain nuts.

Seriously though, you are absolutely nuts. I love the random scene switches.

I actually think this would make a really good advert. For gollywogs :D

Love the feedback, I was experimenting abit with a sketch that doesn't explain it's self till the final line.
