Torch

JAQUI SMITH IS TALKING TO KEN LIVINGSTONE

JAQUI
Sorry about the increased security for the olympic torch.

KEN
It was a little extreme, locking up every one in London in the Emirates stadium, and taking DNA samples for the whole country. Not to mention those 40 uniformed militia members you had shot, who turned out to be Chelsea pensioners.

JAQUI
Security, is security Ken. It's such an honour to be waiting for the torch here in Buckingham Palace. Where is that torch bearer?

KEN
Whose carrying the torch? It's not one of those dodgy illegal immigrants you've got working for you in Home Office Security?

OFF STAGE
Al a Aqubar!

KEN
I can smell burning.

JAQUI
Oops

Huh???

Bums back to the drawing board.

The idea was that the torch bearer was a member of Al Quaeda working illegaly for the home office. Who then uses it to burn down Buck palace.

It's not a bad idea but it's buried very deep in that skit.

We're gonna need a bigger torch!

Yeah - the idea's ok, but I didn't get it without the explanation.

I'll simplify, I have a tendency to be a bit of a smart arse.

And as I always say. You can be smart or an arse, not both.
