Pippa #2

DOOR BELL RINGS. SAM OPENS DOOR TO SEE PIPPA HOLDING A BABY (BUNDLED BLANKET, NO REQUIREMENT FOR BABY TO BE SEEN).

Sam: (GUSHING) Pippa!

Pippa:(PROUDLY) Sam!

Sam: (GUSHING) and this is the new arrival? Ahh....

Pippa:(PROUDLY) yes...meet little Amber.

SLIGHT PAUSE FOR MUTUAL “COOING “ AND “AH..ing”

Sam:(PUZZLED LOOKING OVER PIPPA’s SHOULDER) and where’s Neville?

Pippa:Oh...just parking up.

Sam:(PUZZLED) Er...what’s wrong with our drive?

Pippa:Sam! Don’t be silly, we’ve got a baby to think of now...all the stuff.

Sam:Stuff?

Pippa:Yeah...baby stuff! Pram, toys, bath. We can’t travel as lightly as we used to.

Sam:You had a Four by Four! (BEAT) Mercedes! (BEAT) M-Class!

Pippa:Well that (BEAT) just had to go.

CUT TO NEVILLE TRYING TO PARK AN AMERICAN STYLE HGV LORRY ON A SUBURBAN STREET. IT HAS A BANNER DOWN ONE SIDE SAYING “BABY ON BOARD”

It reminds me a little of the Private Eye strip "It's Grim Up North London."

I was just thinking that.

Not a bad Sketch by the way, I feel you went a bit overboard with describing the sketch and the (PROUD)(GUSHING) aren't really needed that much, but it was easy to read which is what anyones looking for at the end of the day.

And welcome!

Thought of the "Pippa series" when watching 'Man Stroke Woman' on BBC3 a while back (did anyone else see it? don't think it's coming back). Thought they would have fitted in with some of their material.
