EXT. A SEAWALL. DAY.

TWO GULLS ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION.

Gull 1
Who's the most famous person you've ever shat on?

Gull 2
Eh?

Gull 1
I said who's the most famous person you've ever shat on?

Gull 2
Oh I once shat on Rick Stein when I was on holiday in Cornwall. They say he owns most of Padstow you know? I love Cornwall. You?

Gull 1
Never liked Cornwall much. Very rocky. Too many puffins.

Gull 2
No, I mean who's the most famous person you've ever shat on?

Gull 1
Nobody really. I nearly got Bobby Davro once. He did a show in Margate a couple of years ago. Missed him by a whisker. My great
great grandfather once shat on Queen Victoria. Got her right on the crown. It went eveywhere it was so runny. She was not amused!

Gull 2
It's too many chips that does that.

Gull 1
Do what?

Gull 2
Make it runny.

Gull 1
Oh yeah. I'll tell you one person that I'd really like to shit on- Chris Eubank.
Right on his monicle if I could; or splash a runny one in his mouth. I tried to get him once in Brighton.

Gull 2
I once knew a pigeon that shat on Tony Blair. Got him on the shoulder while he was at the cenotaph one Sunday in November. He was disabled. He fell asleep perched on some scaffolding one frosty night. He took off in the morning and left a foot behind. After that he used to walk like Hitler. He went right down hill mind you. He used to hang around Macdonalds with the winos, hoping to eat a bit of quarter pounder that some-one might throw away. Sad really.

Gull 1
Hey look, the Salvation Army band are setting up in the bandstand. Fancy some chips?

Gull 2
Hehe...bandits at four o'clock.

THEY FLY OFF

Good one. You could mention "I knew a chicken once who's egg got thrown at John Prescott" - or maybe not.

I should've put this into the sketch comp. I always mean to enter.

Seeing as no ones voted yet I'll let you slip it in.

But hurry!

Oy - that's cheating. You said it was closed!

OK - then but you'd better not tell anyone.

I'll take back my remark about you being organised Leevil.

I loved it! Very funny!

How wude! How Gayo! Well I never!!!!How impatient is Leevil. Ohhh I say. :O

David, Jude & Myself managed to overlook that sentence, but you couldn't resist.

Just dirty.

Hi WJFK

Really like this one. The one-liners hidden in there are great. You've got this one pretty much nailed so can't give you much feedback. Might be best breaking up the longer speech near the end for pace (just with some 'Really?'s from the other gull or something) but that's a very minor criticism.

Would work nicely on radio.

Hey, Fish,

Lovely original sketch which everyone should get this time - law of averages. This bit....

I felt was just too wordy but otherwise it was an excellent sketch.

Thanks for the advice guys.
