They think it's all over.

ANNOUNCER2
The people on the pitch are the police. They're arresting the entire England team. Germany is scoring goal after goal into an open England net. They think it's all over....

CHANCELLOR
It is now.

Change the title of the sketch, quick! Yup, it's because of that I saw the payoff coming, in this really neat sketch.

ev

Its a great idea Sooty - Genius in fact, but don't think it comes off.

You have a few errors in the text, Britain should be England, for example.

I think don't have such a crazy game,make it more normal, but coupled in with the accouncements from Osbourne. I like the build up to the ending but maybe a twist with the punchline?

Hmm good advice and thanks to both.

Alas I can't change the title.

But a calmer game maybe better.

I thought it had a twist? Obviously just a pun.

I like puns, especially topical ones.

They're currant puns.

I meant something instead of "it is now"

I like the build up with the "some of the crowd are on the pitch" and all that but people know whats coming. Give them something different.

I think.

Was the team being arrested not enough of a surprise?
