[009 enters the outer office. Miss Pennymoney is sat at desk]

Pennymoney: Commander. Welcome to MI6.

009: Thank you Pennymoney.

[Throws bowler hat misses stand and goes straight through window]

Pennymoney: Never mind, you’ll get the hang of it.

009: Yes….sorry.

Pennymoney: Go on in. M’s waiting for you.

009: Thanks.

[He enters inner office. M is sat behind the desk. He stands to shake hands]

M: Welcome to the firm 009. I’d like you to meet the gang.

[Men begin walking in from offstage and each shake 009’s hand]

M: This is A.

009: Hello

M: This is B

009: Hello

M: You’ve met C of course.

009: Hello again.

On screen: SOME MINUTES LATER

M: And finally Z. Well there you have it. Sit down commander.

[They do so]

M: Well how are you finding it all? A bit daunting I expect.

009: I don’t think I can take the job sir.

M: Goodness me, why ever not?

009: I’m dyslexic.

That's a pretty good idea, and it works well. Personally I'd give them jobs to go with the letters. Not for all but the 1st and last 3 e.g. A Assassinations B Burglary C get the Coffee, Z is in charge of Zebras and Zithers.

Maybe O is Osama Bin Laden, and M says we don't talk about him.

Interesting idea of Sooty's... I think I'd agree to the extent that I feel it needs something more than what you've got - it's still good, but doesn't feel enough, if you see what I mean.

Have to agree with James. It's nicely written but lacking something, it feels abit like an old Russ Abbott sketch.

It needs a a bit of a twist or a bigger punchline.

A: "We're named alphabetically in order of importance."

009: So who's in charge then?

I like it. might well be able to twist that one in with a bit of fiddling about[ all in the best possible taste of course]. Cheers Dave etal

Here's my bill.

Quack, quack.

Maybe he informs him of his mission...which is to find Big Bird. Not at all influenced by all those letters and your avi, honest!

You know when you know you'll regret posting something and still do it anyway? I'm having one of those moments...
