Something that occurred while I was getting cash

I was stood at the cash point earlier today, and the following sketch popped into my head:

Ext. Day. High street.

A woman sticks her card into an ATM and we see the screen say: 'Now reading your card.' A second later, the screen reads: 'You'll meet a tall, dark stranger, but he'll be after your money.'

The woman looks worried, takes her cash and wanders off. Then, as she turns a corner, a tall, dark-haired bloke springs out and mugs her for the money.

Not bad, the mysterious message from the cash machine was a classic of the 80s. Always liked Who Dares Wins one, where it goes "Hands up your surrounded," and of course he is.

Ah, 'Who Dares Wins'. Forgotten about that. Classic.
