Deadly Nightshade

You have got me doing it too now.

With typical SootyJ action, here is my animal lab sketch.

DEADLY NIGHTSHADE

INT -- Lab ..Day

The animal scientists' laboratory, full of weird equipment and flashing lights. ROLAND RAT a six foot white lab rat in a white coat is speaking to a news camera.

ROLAND RAT:
Here we are about to do the crucial experiment to test if deadly nightshade can shade a deadly knight.

ROLAND RAT:
And here is our Deadly Knight, Cuthbert Codswallop, Duke of Gormondy

Cuthbert clumps in wearing full armour with sword, at the top, his helmet is shaped like a flower pot and growing in it are a lot of deadly nightshade plants, trailing over the edges like a hair fringe.

ROLAND RAT:
Right stand there.. Ready, three two one Fire.

A laser beam comes from the side and slices off the top of Cutherts head.

ROLAND RAT:
Nope!

I liked the initial idea of a massive rat in a lab coat from a cartoon perspective but the rest of the sketch didn't work for me Bill.

It needs a Kevin...
