KI - IVF

Lisa - Sorry for the delay, gentleman. I'm Lisa the new GP what brings you here?

Man 1 - We caught the bus, but don't know what has to do with it.

Lisa - And what is "it"?

Man 2 - We're a couple. We've been together for six years

Man 1 - Which is eighteen years in gay years. Look at me telling you that. You're GP you already knew that

Man 2 - And we want to start a family, but we've been having problems

Lisa - So you heard of the governments wiliness to give IVF treatment to same sex couples and the elderly - either way you look at it Elton Johns getting a kid. So you're having trouble conceiving with your surrogate?

Man 2 - I think surrogacy will be the last resort

Lisa - So you're having trouble with the adoption agency? I could write you a letter

Man 1 - Again that would be something we'd turn to further down the line

Man 2 - We really want to conceive the old fashioned way

Lisa - The old fashioned way of a man getting pregnant?

Man 2 - But the problem is we can't seem to crack it

Man 1 - Do you have any suggestions?

Lisa - Grow a womb?

Man 2 - That wouldn't involve a needle would it? Not a fan

Lisa - I was joking. You can't have kids

Man 1 - Sorry?

Lisa - You need a woman to have a kid

Man 2 - 'You don't need a woman to provide a loving a home

Lisa - No bu..

Man 1 - Don't bother, you can't talk to people like her. Homophobe!

MAN 1 and MAN 2 exit angrily

END

I think you've missed a trick here. The funnier premise would have been to get the couple to try and convince the doctor to be the surrogate.

A few good lines in there, nonetheless, but a bit of a predictable ending.

For me there's some great lines in there (love the eighteen years in gay years and Elton John joke) and a good sketch lurking in there somewhere.

I like the idea of a gay couple trying to have a baby the 'old-fashioned way'. Could be room for them desrcibing how they're trying everything but nothing seems to work.

But then needs to work towards a strong punchline. I think them thinking the Doctor is homophobic is part of the build-up not the end.

Of course no idea what that end should be!
