Spot the Difference Sketch

**1st sketch removed to avoid confusion. Plus, the beginning was the same and the ending not as good**

2)
INT – KITCHEN – MORNING

DEREK and JANE are both sitting at the breakfast table in their pyjamas, tensed, pens in hand, a newspaper in front of each of them.

DEREK:
One, two (BEAT) THREE!

They both frantically scribble something on the paper. There's a pause while they both search the paper thoughtfully, then Jane excitedly scribbles again.

JANE:
Finished!

She holds up her paper triumphantly, showing she's been circling the differences on a "SPOT THE DIFFERENCE" picture.

DEREK:
(DISAPPOINTED) What the hell's that one?

JANE:
Look, on the one on the right she's got a bigger bust. I thought YOU of all people would notice that.

DEREK:
Oh har, har.

DEREK SNATCHES UP HIS PLATE AND GOES TO THE SINK

CUT TO:

INT – BEDROOM – EVENING

Jane is standing in the bedroom in her dressing gown, while Derek sits on the bed.

DEREK:
One, two (BEAT) THREE:

Jane's dressing gown comes off.

DEREK.
Your back. You've got a tattoo

JANE:
Yup

DEREK:
You've pierced your belly button

JANE:
Good work fella. Only two more…

DEREK:
Your hair. You've dyed your hair. And trimmed down below

JANE:
Bonus point for you, Sherlock. And last one…

DEREK:
Oh, I know this…it's your fanny? It is, isn't it? You've had your fanny done

JANE SLAPS DEREK

DEREK:
Oh, no. I've missed the breasts again haven't I?

1) no!
2) yes!

I agree with Badge, Rob.

The second one is very funny. I liked the characters and the ideas.

Second one's much better.

Definitely no.2. Good idea and by far the better punch.

Thanks for commenting people. Agree second was much neater. In my head pre-writing was more a silent sketch where people become ruled by their obsessive quiz tendencies.

I thought the point was to spot the difference between the two sketches.
I've drawn all over my monitor.

I did like the second one, very funny.

Laughing out loud

Remember thinking that at the time. But at 1 in the morning had run out of energy to change it. It's a new format of sketch writing. Spot the one with the joke in

Nice sketch Rob0, liked it.

Greatly amusing.

Nice. Not sure you need the middle scene though.

Yes it's good but agree with Timbo. The middle scene is unneeded.

Yeah good point Timbo, SlagA. No need for it. Will remove. Thanks
