NJ: Daily Mail Web Award

JUSTIN:
The Daily Mail is like a dead skunk. Odious; repulsive and yet impossible to resist looking at.

Indeed, it is precisely these dubious qualities which have helped it win best website at the Press Awards; for the third year running.

ATMOS. COOKERY SHOW

PAUL:
Hello, and welcome to 'Cooking up a Storm' with me - Paul Dacre.

In tonight's show, we're going to be looking at how to bake a successful news website.

Now, this isn't as hard as it sounds. All you need is courage; determination and the ability to annoy several demographics at once.

Right, without any further ado, let's take a look at the ingredients.

Okay, so firstly - you're going to need a bit of racism. But it can only be a BIT - I'm afraid - otherwise, you'll have one of those politically correct quangos on your back.

Next, we have xenophobia. Now, with this - you can be a bit more liberal - but only in terms of quantity.

After that, we of course have misogyny. Now, the great thing about misogyny is that you can get really creative with it. Just remember - if it's likely to offend a feminist - publish it!

And our final ingredient is that old favourite - BBC bashing. Now, with this one - substance really does take a back seat.

Okay, so when you've got all of those ingredients lined up, you want to just stick them into a bowl - in no particular order - and give them a nice good stir.

Now, as a final touch before you pop it in the oven - you might like to add a small dollop of excrement. Or as he's better known - Richard Littlejohn!

I like this tight, good lines and with a clear point. Feel it could do with a punchline that twists the story - but can't think of one off the top of my head. Also I see what you're trying to do but is their enough of link between a cookery show and website? Maybe it would have worked best if it was someone teaching someone else how to make a website?

Liked this one. Fun to read. If it works as a radio sketch I don't know.

I Love your comedy work because I have many laughs. To improve I think they should be a couple of more characters.
