DAVID ATTENBOROUGH IS DOING A DOCUMENTARY

DAVID
Today, I am in Asia with a shy, creature, that's almost extinct. With it's brilliant orange plumage, this creature foolishly draws attention to it's when it's home, and fellow creatures are threatened.

The sad, think is that these harmless creatures, think that their cries will inspire the UN to help them. Sadly it's both deaf and blind.

I think you either you don't need that last line or you need to keep it in the nature theme rather than the political.

If you want to be off the wall the camera could pan back and they're being shot by a Giant Panda?

Do you mean 'draws attention to its home' - more political, I think.

I love this. Does it have to be David Attenborough though - if you put in a female natural history presenter - could be great for The Treason Show.

Good point Mouse, will vague it up.

Roscoff originally I described the UN as the deaf blind UN Rhino. may put that back in.

I like the idea of this. Reminds me of the Big Train Jockey sketch, which I enjoyed too.
