Music from the Movies

INT. LIVING ROOM

Teenage boy, Mum, Dad and [slightly confused] Grandmother sit watching TV.

BOY: What's your favourite song from a movie, Mum?

MUM: Oh, let me see, I really like "The Hills are Alive" from The Sound of Music. What's yours?

BOY: Can't really decide but it would have to be something from Tenacious D, I think.

DAD: That's rubbish! You can't beat a bit of Shirley Bassey singing "Diamonds are Forever".

GRANDMOTHER: I like that "Armageddon" one....

BOY: Hey Nan, that's really cool! You mean Aerosmith from Apollo 13?

GRANDMOTHER: Erm, no, it's from My Fair Lady I think...it goes [SINGS} "Armageddon married in the morning, ding-dong the bells are gonna chime"

Nice one, Geoff.

Could have been dialogue for the The Royle Family.

Agree with the Royle Family comment - not sure there's enough to it as a sketch, but nowt wrong if it's an extract of dialogue.
