That's disgusting.

Sandi Toksvig, Stephen Fry, David Mitchell if only they'd invite us in.

WE PULL BACK TO REVEAL THE CUSTOMER IS POPE BENEDICT.

I think you'd experience problems getting number 2 aired!

I quite like number 3 but I don't think you need the pull back reveal.

True the rings enough.

I wrote these for my own cheery amusement. The whole idea kinda starting with who'd buy a mag called Niggerz and Catz?

My ideas do seem to come from a dark place.

They're not that bad.

...

Oh, you mean dark metaphorically, not from where the sun doesn't shine :)

Cheeky

The sun does indeed shine from my botty.

That's what you told me when I said I needed 30 minutes on a sunbed. After five minutes of you squatting over me, I didn't see an inch of sun.

I liked 2 but agree that the visual punch isn't going to work - make it spoken and just show the faces of the two roasters.

3 was the weakest of the bunch - maybe because you've changed the format of the idea?

Number 3 definitely improved with the more subtle angle. Number 2 still funny. Like them both. :)
