Crap TV

I think this one of my oldest skits, oddly it feels sharper, and neater than much of my later stuff.

BBC
Watch Strictly Come Dancing tonight, sexy news readers in skimpy dress’s slow dance with hunky professional dancers.

ITV
No watch I’m a Celebrity get me out of here, sexy z list celebs in swim suits, sweat in the jungle, we’ve got the bird who shagged Prince Andrew,

BBC
Ok our stars will go topless

ITV
Ours will go nude

BBC We’ll give them steroids so they’ll fight each other.

ITV We’ll give them Viagra so they’ll shag each other,

BBC We’ll give ours knives so they’ll kill each other, we can out down market you, you snivelling little independent wretch,

Enter channel 4

Channel4
Pah amateurs, I’m channel 4, we bring back Celebrity Big Brother, this time we have Enoch Powell back from the dead, that German guy who ate his boyfriends willy, and Kerry Kattona shags them all in a bath of cocaine and Iceland mini Kiev’s.

Channel4
You like, jiggy jiggy, maybe you watch Holly Oaks as well?

BBC
Now that really is crap TV.

It's a solid idea. I think you could do more with it though. Take the one-upmanship further. I'd prefer it broader too. How about leaving out references to specific shows and making it a comment on TV in general rather than just British TV? Something for the ages?

General works for me to. Nice idea. Reminds me of the 4 businessman sketch where they look down to one person and up to the other. 'That was the Week?' Probably not.

Yeah its a great idea but go further and don't mention specific shows as David said. Oh and its funny :)
