Michael Grade here, think I’m down beat because ITV profits are down by 35%. No

way, when life gives you crap, make crapenade. Of course there’ll be changes.

TV Burp will become TV Hiccup, Coronation Street will become Coronation chicken

sandwich, and Emerdale Farm, will become Emerdale Allotments ITV 2, and 3 will be

renamed ITV rubbish, and ITV repeats. ITV 4 will become ITV phone in, and give

us your money, suckers. Still at least we’re classier than E4, Big Brother Celebrity Hijack, can’t even make crapenade from that.

Probably sliced the ball a little wide of the post with this one Soots. You've definitely done better.

Fair does, it was a see if I can get it in TS at the last minute special.

Yes I can sort of see it working as a quicky but possibly lacks the visuals? Good luck anyway. I read your Paisley sketch and sort of inspired me to do one of my own. I've had a bit of block on these topical sketches lately so I don't hold out any great hopes for it. :(

Me I go through a tabloid, and a broadsheet, make 2 one line notes on each story. Put it on a sheet of A4 and then see what jumps out at me. As well as asking questions, e.g. if you changed the context ? if you exaggerated it?

Never tried that. Will do now though. Cheers.

Crap-en-ade as in lemonade. I suspect a salt of the earth type like Michael Grade only eats his crap in a pie, with minced onions, and brown sauce.
