Oh, here's John Culshaw doing an impression - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFtp_xjGZUw
I see. Maybe I could exchange Mick for this guy and then I'll have written my first topical joke no one is interested in!
Anyone know an outlet for this kind of tripe?
BBC1.

'SCAM MAN'
INT. PUB - DAY
TWO FRIENDS, SAM AND MICK CHAT OVER A PINT.
SAM:
...you're joking; you commute from London to Manchester every day for a temp job? How do you afford that?MICK:
(CHUCKLING) Don't worry, I've got a little scam going on...HE TAPS HIS NOSE CONSPIRATORILY.
CUT TO:
INT. TRAIN - DAY
MICK IS APPROACHED BY A CONDUCTOR.
CONDUCTOR:
Tickets, please.MICK:
Sorry, just give me one second...HE FUMBLES AWKWARDLY ABOUT HIS POCKETS -
-- PULLS A KNUCKLEDUSTER AND CRACKS THE CONDUCTOR IN THE JAW. MICK THEN SWIFTLY HEFTS THE CONDUCTOR UP AND STUFFS HIM THROUGH A WINDOW, HIS SCREAM FADING QUICKLY INTO THE DISTANCE. FINALLY, OVER THE WAILING OF THE OTHER PASSENGERS, HE STEPS BACK, LIGHTS A MATCH AND SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE, LAUGHING LIKE A MADMAN AS HE'S ENGULFED IN FLAMES.
CUT TO:
INT. PUB - DAY
MICK:
Yep, a nice little scam...SAM STARES AT MICK, HORRIFIED.
END SKETCH
I actually laughed for a long time at this, but I'm not sure whether it's the actions described or the simple beauty of the description.
