Operation

Not sure what this is meant to be yet. Any advice?

INT. OPERATING THEATRE. DAY

A TEAM OF A DOCTOR AND A FEW NURSES ARE ABOUT BEGIN AN OPERATION.

Doctor: Morning everybody. Right! Lets do some cutting. I love the cutting.

Nurse: Shouldn’t we just check we have the right instruments with us?

Doctor: Don’t worry Nurse. I’ve been doing it for years.

Nurse: Well, I’m not sure that we sh…?

Doctor: I am. Now pass me the lawnmower?

Nurse: Yes Doctor. Which one Doctor?

Doctor: Hmmmm…The flymo I think.

Nurse: (Passes the mower) Flymo.

F/X SOUND OF FLYMO. DOCTOR MOWS PATIENT.

Doctor: It’s no good. I’ve made a right mess of it. Pass me the petrol one?

F/X SOUND OF PETROL MOWER. DOCTOR MOWS PATIENT.

Nurse: How is it now?

Doctor: On reflection, I think I should have gone with a scalpel.

Nurse: Still, you’ve got a lovely striped effect with the petrol.

I think your on the right lines with this. I myself have written a very similar sketch to this that involves the doctor operating with kitchen cutlery.

maybe later on have the doctor in his garden trying to dig up potatoes with a scalpel!

I love it, WJFK! I'd like to see it with lots of spraying blood onto the face of the surgeon, that way you wouldn't need to see the patient.

Yep Very good. Short, Sweet and funny.

Looks like a radio piece to me.

Mmmm ... I've always wanted to know what a radio piece looked like!

Seriously I thought this was good with lots of possibilities. Works on its own as a sketch but could be 'grown' into almost anything genre-wise as there are lots of bizarre scenarios to choose from.

Eyethangyoo.
