Arthur C Clarke.

TWO SCIENCE FICTION FANS ARE TALKING

SCIFI1
I saw Arthur C Clarke is dead. Goodbye the man who invented the satellite.

SCIFI2
How did it happen?

SCIFI1
He got Sky installed. Apparently he spent his last evening Celebrity Mistress Swap on E4, Teen models Bulimia camp on MTV, Gash in the Attic on Bravo, and on BBC3. Apparently he said, this is all my fault, and died.

SCIFI2
Torchwood is pretty crap.

It's an OK idea, but needs better dialogue.

Even as it is: "How dit it happen" is ambiguous, it relates to inventing the satellite rather than the death. "How did he die" is more relevant.

I see what you mean. Very much a beta version of a skit, think I'll change it to "how was he killed, it's more energised, and aggressive.
