If this is a Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe gag I think you need to make it a bit clearer for the idiots (ie me). What tripped me up was the fact that the lion was playing with a set of drawers. I think you should just call it a wardrobe and have done with it.

I think it's better as a chest of drawers. No chest of drawers in the world would be 'them'.

Well, everyone else seemed to get the reference so I guess you're right.

I think its a very funny sketch, if any tweeking was needed
(and I dont feel it does) it would surely have to involve the
lion trying to assemble a flat pack wardrobe and the witch
being miffed as she would only move through space and time in
some Georgian, mirror fronted job with mahogany inlaid bits.

I wouldn't add anything, it's good enough most people will make the intellectual leap.

I wholly agree. It's brilliant as is.

Yep, absolutely. ;)
