Michael Martin sketch

This came to me yesterday, but I type slowly. Does it work? And if so, does the optional coda do anything worthwhile?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

INT - TV STUDIO - DAY

DR GILLIAN MCKEITH
I'm Dr Gillian McKeith. Yes, I am. Really. Today on How Loose are your Stools? my guest is Michael Martin. Mr Speaker, perhaps you'd like to talk us through some of these turds?

MCKEITH GUIDES HER GUEST MICHAEL MARTIN ALONG A TABLE OF SAMPLES.

DR GILLIAN MCKEITH (CONT'D)
This one I think you passed this morning?

MICHAEL MARTIN
No no no no no! I can't discuss that! It's an Early Day Motion.

THEY MOVE ALONG.

DR GILLIAN MCKEITH
Okay... maybe this tiny wee poo here?

MICHAEL MARTIN
No, that's not a substantive motion!

THEY MOVE TO HUGE STEAMING PILE OF BROWN STUFF

DR GILLIAN MCKEITH
Okay... surely this? I've never known a bigger, more horrific smelly pile of - shit - in all my days!

MICHAEL MARTIN
That would be a matter for the Government!

Badge - I think that was great.

Early day motion!!!Genius!

Straight off to NR I think!

Good, but I would not bother with the optional coda.

Bigfella - thanks.

Timbo - thanks too. You've confirmed what I thought. I'll lose the coda.
