GUY BERRYMAN
Nice one Nige

I liked this. On the Format side you should put spaces in between the dialogue e.g.

GUY BERRYMAN
Okay you go to your little sad place now Chris, I’ll get your blankie

CHRIS MARTIN
Make trade fair

GUY BERRYMAN
Nice one Nige

Makes it easier to read

If I'm in a pub and they play some Coldplay I just leave. Need more be said?

:D I liked this a lot. Very nice. Well done, mate.
But, oy, I like Coldplay and I love Yellow!!! Angry That Chris Martin is nice and he's a vegan, isn't he? :D
