Prison Strike Sketch

Does what it says on the tin ^^ like

SCENE 1. MINISTER’S OFFICE

THE MINISTER IS SITTING AT HIS DESK. A CIVIL SERVANT ENTERS.

CIVIL SERVANT:
Good Morning Minister

MINISTER:
Morning

CIVIL SERVANT:
Do you want the good news or the bad news?

MINISTER:
Well I’m New Labour so obviously the good news

CIVIL SERVANT:
Well the good news is that the measures we have taken to prevent prisoners from walking out of prison seem to be working

MINISTER:
What’s the bad news?

CIVIL SERVANT:
Erm, well the prison guards have walked out

MINISTER:
What? That’s terrible. What are we doing about it?

CIVIL SERVANT:
Well we have to options. The first is to obtain a court order preventing them from walking but they will probably ignore that.

MINISTER:
And the second

CIVIL SERVANT:
We tell everyone that the prisons are infected with foot and mouth and impose a movement ban.

MINISTER:
Great idea lets do that. And call the PM back from holiday, he’s gone to Dorset on holiday and wants any excuse to come back.

Not too bad, but the topic holds so many more possibilities, and the punchline, well, it felt a bit laboured.

Try harder next time.

B-.

Thanks Aaron this is part of my new 'a sketch a day' diet. Not all, or more likely any of them, will be gold but thanks for the comments

I liked it a lot.
*claps*

That's twice I've seen you clap today Charley, you could say you've got the clap, but we here are a classy joint, so I'll just say it's gone-in-your-ear.
