Roaches

Apologies.... Bored at work ......

Intro
Year 2525 - Nuclear war is imminent. The human race is on the brink of wiping itself out. The cockroaches eagerly await....

Pat - Hey, Ted... Wake up.
Ted - Yawn... what is it ?
Pat - I think they've finally done it !
Ted - Who ? Done What ?
Pat - Those Humans, They've Gone and wiped themselves out !.... Look !.. Look ! .... everything's just black dust and a red glow.... At last the world is ours !! We can do what ever we like , whenever we like !
Ted - Well, it does feel quite hot. A bit too hot for me really.
Pat - Oh, stop whining, so you're a little bit hot..... we've just inherited the earth !! What shall we do, What shall we do ?
Ted - Er, I don't know... scurry about a bit ?
Pat - OK, great idea. Lets go... Lets go Scurrying?
Ted - Isn't it a bit hot for scurrying? - What's that light, it's giving me a headache.... and that whirring noise.
FX - Sound of Door opening and a rush of air.

American Man shouting - Monica ! There's bloody roaches in the oven again !

That was brilliant! loved it! can't think of a way to improve it, just great as it is, very funny, didn't see the ending coming and didn't expect it, just great, well done!

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

I really liked it as well. Not laugh out loud, but a nice satisfying reveal at the end - which I did not see coming!

I liked it too, simple, short and silly, whcih I expect is the sort of thing they;re after. My only (very anal) piece of advice is to get rid of "bloody", as Americans don't say that. How about "goddamn"?

Thanks playfull, appreciate te comment.
And thanks to you too Gappy. Excellent 'bloody' point !

ITV2 is to increase its comedy output further, with the latest news being that it has ordered a new sitcom pilot called Cockroaches.

Can I be the first to congratulate you Matty. You don't hang about do you!

No Way !! .... I've been thinking about developing my cockroach characters further as well !

Ha Ha... oh well.

Good.Fresh.Original.Get it punted in to 2525.
