NJ Reject - School's NewsJack Day

bit of a rush job and gags not good enough - see what you think...

Justin intro:

Like my Uncle Bernard the BBC is very interested in stretching young children. To that end, there is a wonderful BBC initiative called "School Report", helping schoolchildren develop journalist skills - and today is "School Report NewsDay", a nationwide programme inspiring school children to create and run their own news rooms out of their class...

School boy: (interrupting)

Hello and welcome! This week has seen plans to allow school children to contact school nurses by text message - presumably so you can medical help quicker when you LMAO!

Justin:

Hold on hold on - who are you?

School boy:

I'm Jenkins - I'm the anchor.

Justin:

The anchor? The anchor to what?

School boy:

As well as School Report News Day, we are doing School Report NewsJack Day. School dinners are rather like George Osborne - thick and difficult to stomach.

Justin:

Sorry, but we weren't expecting this. Where is the rest of your team?

School boy:

We are only allowed in one at a time... I'm doing the intro and lot's of gags about how things are, like, like things - like, double maths is like, lame.

Justin:

I'm sure we do more than that.

School boy:

We've got a Jack App - well, more like a Jack Happy Slap. And Corrections. Mistakes are like trying to undo a six former's bra, the bigger it is the more of a boob you end up feeling. Now it's time for some corrections...

(Pause)

Justin:

Well?

School boy:

Sorry - I just have to write these out ten times each. You've been listening to a repeat of School Report NewsJack Day, first recorded when I wasn't in debt to the Student Loans Company. Thank you, goodnight!

The Uncle Bernard gag is great Jack, but I can't see it getting on NJ. I liked the sketch too, particularly the 'only allowed in one at a time' and the kid's correction intro. Good job.

Hi Jack

I think it's a bit 'foggy' -- needs tightening up and more gags.

Dan

I need a co-writer - just never have the time for more than the first draft.

Tnanks for comments though

I liked it Jack. First line was a LOL.
