Gollum sketch

WOMAN
Doctor! Please help my husband.

HUSBAND
Thieves! They stole it from us. Filthy, stinky, grasping little thieves! Lost, Precious, Lost! It's lost! But we'll get it back, my love. Yes! We shall gets it all BACK.

DOCTOR
How often does this happen, Mrs Carr?

WOMAN
Every time he fills in a tax return.

Not brilliant too jammed together and rushed.

The idea of Gollum doing his tax return is inspired.

But the leap between precious, ring and taxes feels forced and not that funny.

Theres a nugget of an idea you just need to get in there.
