Juvenile Radio Quickie

Probably not very original, but anyway...

F/X
TUNING THROUGH RADIO DIAL - SETTLES ON A STATION

BBC RADIO VOICE:
...Force One. Severe wind, becoming stronger, solidified. Hard at first. Intermittently soft and smelly. Dark, becoming Guinnessy. Crimped off. No paper.
(BEAT)
And that concludes the shitting forecast.

Lovely that made me smile.

Ha! Made me chuckle.

Actually think you don't need the last line. Without the pun, it's just pleasantly surreal and left field.

Thanks gentlemen, and Godot.

Knew where you were going straight away with that, so felt a bit predictable. Funny and will make people laugh though.

However, David Quantick did loads of different types of shipping forecasts in One, so might not be all that sellable.

Somebody managed to stretch this concept out to almost five minutes.

Perhaps a new slant is needed on the shipping forecast. Rather than go down the pun way. Start off with rap music and go for a more street/youth version:

Catford moderate. Lewisham 3 inches, deepening rapidly. Isle Of Dogs severe, potentially fatal, etc. And that concludes todays stabbing forecast.

Thanks all - I guess there must be a zillion Shipping Forecast sketches so I'm not surprised the obvious pun has been done. It came to me while lsitening to the last test match on the radio.

I like Nigel's variation.

I think at least I got a more appropriate length!

No. It's enough to give you something to feed on.
