G20 Party

Ok, this is very 'Carry On'. Some people like that. Lots don't. I've written this for some reason in Radio format. In your opinion - would this have a chance of getting used by NJ or even NewsRevue etc?

G20 Party

Justin:The G20 summit met this week in Cannes, a city famous for its festival of tin containers. Some of you may have heard the term Default Swap in the press lately. We sent someone along to find out what happens at these Default Swap Parties.

GRAMS:Gentle background jazz music.
F/X:The sound of people mingling.

MERKEL:(Bad German accent)
Herr Sarkozy, you are looking nervous.

SARKOZY:(Bad French accent)
Madame Merkel, you look like a fat Margaret Thatcher.

MERKEL:(Laughs)
Thank you for saying so.

SARKOZY:Could you believe, Madame, I have never been to a default swap party before.

MERKEL:Nonsense, Herr Sarkozy, I've heard all about your fiscal sustainability.

SARKOZY:That is nothing, Madame Merkel, would you like to see my bailout package?

MERKEL:Oh! My interest rate is soaring! Quickly, choose a set of keys from the bowl, before your banks become over-exposed.

Grams:Sound of keys being fished out of a bowl.

SORKOZY:These keys are strange. Wait...who brought the Special Purpose Vehicle?

MERKEL:Oh, that would be Herr Cameron.

CAMERON:(Bad English accent)
Sorry old chap, had to bring it, I've got a split right up the back benches.
