A couple of unrelated semi-topical one-liners,

This years Celebrity Big Brother viewing figures have been somewhat disappointing. So much so in fact that Channel 5 have switched to broadcasting the live footage of the two remaining viewers to the eleven celebrities in the big-brother house, in order to shore up their advertising revenue.

(Old lady voice) I'm not having much luck with this NHS postcode lottery, they refused me my arthritis treatment last week. Still, it's a roll-over this week so I could win my arthritis treatment and some breast implants, fingers crossed. Aaargh that hurt.

edit to correct typo only

Not bad joke ideas but much too long and to much explanation

Maybe

Channel 5 has doubled the audience for BB. They're filming the last 2 viewers and showing them to the contestants.

Both funny ideas, 'aaargh that hurt' especially made me laugh- enough potential here for two different sketches

404 really great ideas there!

Thanks all for the feedback, I agree the BB one is a bit too wordy and would be better if I expressed the idea in a more concise way.

The Arthritis one, I'm considering submitting to Newsjack as a voxpop when the new series starts.

Now that's a good idea well executed!

They are good gags 404 not found.

Liked them, but Sooty's shortened version of the BB one works better I think.
The arthritis one is the stronger of the two.
