Comic relief.

A MAN WITH A MICROPHONE IN A WHITE SUIT WITH COMIC RELIEF RED NOSES STANDS IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE IN FANCY DRESS HOLDING AN OVERSIZED CHEQUE.

CR GUY:
Thanks Jonathon, We're here at WH Smiths in Barking, and let me tell you, these guys have really pushed the envelope, does smiths still sell stationary? I don't know but just look at them, it's (LAUGHS) absolutely crazy down here.

THEY ALL WAVE & WHOOP.

CR GUY:
So what do we have here, there's Superman, we've got Rambo back there, next to him is Buzz Lightyear is it? And over there a touch of Hogwarts with a very convincing Hagrid if I may say so.

HAGRID:
I'm meant to be Susan Boyle

CR GUY:
Even better, so how much have you raised? Come on, show us the cheque!

SUPERMAN:
(RAISING CHEQUE)
Four hundred & seventy eight pounds fifty.

CR GUY:
That's fabulous it really is, I don't need to remind you that every penny counts... and look at those amazing costumes, how much did they all cost if you don't mind me asking.

SUPERMAN:
Well that doesn't really matter does it?

CR GUY:
Oh go on!

SUPERMAN:
Well let me see, One fifty, three hundred, I dunno about Seven hundred quid.

CR GUY:
Ok fine! So that means we owe you roughly Two hundred and twenty one pounds and fifty pence?

SUPERMAN:
Well no, we were just doing it to raise money for the Africans and all that, we couldn't ... I mean that's not why we..

CR GUY:
That's what people fail to understand, Comic relief isn't just about Africa.
We also have many projects back at home, such as the society for the protection of self serving attention seeking wankers.

SUPERMAN:
Oh well in that case the oversized cheque, cost us 30 quid an all.

CR GUY:
Don't push it mate!
Back to you in the Studio Jonathon.

NIce idea Steve with some funny lines (loved the SuBo gag).

It's a neat idea but the punch is out at the half way mark and it feels very familiar.

This is very, very topical, Freve. Like a year early? Always one step ahead, you.

Well written but pretty weak compared to your other stuff. This would fit very well as a sketch on the actual show, taking the piss out of itself.

Liked the Susan Boyle gag but the rest seemed a bit wishy washy. I think maybe you need to capitalise on the central premise that they're in defecit as a result of their wanton attention seeking. Really shame them. Like maybe an African kid is bought on to make up the difference in precious, life-giving water. Or perhaps beans that are then loaded with tomato sauce and bunged into a bath tub for some other fame-hungry bell end's stunt.

Cheers chaps.

I wasn't really feeling this one much, but I was hoping for some useful Critique & I do like Davids ideas.

Thanks again.

I quite liked it.

Like others I liked the idea, but it lacked punch. Maybe if the self-serving wankers were MPs or somebody we all hate.
