This is an attempt at a 'topical' sketch, I had planned to end it after the English Footballer line, but it seemed a bit obvious. What do you think?

INT: OFFICE
KATIE AND MAUREEN ARE SITTING AT THEIR DESKS

KATIE: Maureen, do you think Cheryl Cole's new boyfriend is gay?

MAUREEN: Could we please talk about something other than celebrities?

KATIE: Sorry, I've tried but I'm just naturally bubbly.

MAUREEN: Let's try with a game called 'Current Events'.

KATIE: YAY! You start...

<MAUREEN SHOWS THE FRONT COVER OF THE PAPER TO KATIE>

MAUREEN: What do you think about William Hague?

KATIE: Gay! The jeans give it away.

<MAUREEN QUICKLY TURNS THE PAPER OVER TO THE SPORTS SECTION>

MAUREEN: What about Amir Khan?

KATIE: He's not gay.

MAUREEN: That's not always the question.

KATIE: He's a boxer?

MAUREEN: That's right. Did the gloves give it away?

KATIE: No, he's friends with Cheryl Cole.

MAUREEN: What about the Pakistani team?

KATIE: They died in the floods?

MAUREEN: That wasn't them.

KATIE: They're trapped in a mine?

MAUREEN: No. They've been paid 150 grand to play badly.

KATIE: They're English footballers?

MAUREEN: No, they're cricket players.

KATIE: Wow, like Former Liberty X singer Jessica Taylor's husband?

It's snappy but it feels like those too many ideas going on there, so it's hard to follow.

e.g. the switch between gayness and cheating wrongfooted my brain.

Thanks Soots. You're right, too much going on. I think I was just trying to put in as many news stories to make it seem topical but I should have concentrated on 1 idea.
