The policeman sketch was my fav. Followed by Rod's death. Also I found the acting very good.

Great!

Don't jump off a cliff whilst eating a jam doughnut.

Liked the Rod Hull chalk line. Nice touch with the TV aerial.

Really good. My favorite bit was the Nanny State slogan.

I give them all 5 stars (out of hundred) ;)

Phone Scam was a good one liked the editing at the end that was nice.

Draw! - Personally I would of pulled the camera back a bit, the EX Close up I felt was a bit to dominating. But this was probably budgetery choice. I liked this one also nice pay off.

Government Information Film - In my view the best The end caption was priceless and was a really nice piece.

Celebrity Deaths - Rod Hull - Not much to crit on this one was good, although intially I thought he had his hand up a chickens arse :)

Bad News- For me this was weakest of the batch, I thought some of the editing could of done with sharpening up a bit, for instantance when the news gets broken we're behind the guys head. Just my opinion though mate. As for joke it was ok again not the strongest the delivery of he lines maybe could of been exagerated :).

Any way I'm going to skulk back into my cave, Overall very good well done matey :)

That line seems a bit familiar aj... :)

The Rod Hull sketch really did it for me, although they all raised a laugh.

Yeah all in all good.

Just with the Bad News one, did the Police officer get the wrong house or was it that that guy's wife was having an affair? 'Cause if it was the former, wasn't that a Little Britain sketch?

Having said that, my favourite one was probably Bad News, just for some of the lines within it and I thought it was the better delivered of the lot.

I agree with the editing of Draw! and it was a bit hard to hear, but that's not a reflection on the joke itself which I think was a good one.

I also liked the Rod Hull one but maybe you could make it a bit more coherent rather than just having the chalk line then cutting to someone delivering the joke, you know, not much but just have them walking on maybe talking things through a bit. It would just make it a bit more fluent and natural. Excellent use of the chalk line.

Only minor things, I think the jokes behind each one were solid and I can understand how execution can be difficult at our level (which wasn't too shabby anyway!).

All good stuff, as we've all come to expect, but the one that stood out was the 'Phone Scam' sketch. It was a polished piece of writing and filming.

Not sure which Slag is which but I thought the brother acting as the policeman in 'Bad News' was great. That little helmet (no jokes please charley!) was hilarious.

Loved 'Celebrity Deaths'... almost (almost!) doesn't need any monologue.

'Draw' was great. You can imagine a string of these as the 'worst card player alive'... good stuff.

'Government Information Film' was nicely done. Needed a wind-machine (or at least a hair dryer) to aid the falling effect... ;)

Wasn't keen on 'Phone Scam'. Not sure why... just didn't do it for me I guess. Aren't these sorts of apologies normally delivered as text only, with VO?

All in all... some great work. And judging by others' comments, this is not unusual. Nice one!

Sorry - I can't excusae the acting or the dodgy wigs.

Liked the Police one, Rod hull and phone scam.

Are these going anywhere else - I mean to a TV company or anything?

Yeah nice one. My favourite was bad news, and I agree the little helmet was hilarious, as was the big tie. It suited the simple character to be a bit scruffy!

But moving on! Loved the Lenny Henry line in 'Celebrity'. In fact they probably all ended on their funniest lines! And I believe it's your mate? He's a good actor, gets the lines spot on. SlagB does a great job too, he's a punk Tommy Cooper, although he's a bit hard to believe when he's playing more official characters as in phone scam.

All in all great stuff, keep them coming!

I enjoy the policemen one the most, I liked most of the them actually, the phone scam one has been done a bit before... but all good otherwise *thumbs up*

Lol, I don't think that's a wig.

Really ??!!??

Oh great stuff, excellent:D

My faves were Draw and Phone Scam with its inspired editing at the end.

I liked the way they were all shot and put together too.
