Milkman

VO
And welcome to TV South East's, Down Your Way, where this week we are going to meet Mrs Atkinson, who has a most unusual neighbour. Tell us about your neighbour Mrs Atkins.

ATKINS
He's called Gerald Smith, but I believe he's actually Elvis Presley.

VO
What made you first suspect he was Elvis Mrs Atkins.

ATKINS
Well he moved to little our village from Memphis in 1979. He loves singing Elvis classics, and ooh here he comes now.

SOUND OF PERSON WALKING UP DRIVE.

ATKINS
Cooee Mr Presley.

SMITH
Piss off you mad bitch, oh My God is that a film crew? Oh for Gods sake I'm not Elvis.

ATKINS
You can't fool me, you moved here from Memphis in 1979, and you're always singing Hound Dog.

SMITH
I visited Memphis in 1979 on holiday with my mum , I was only 6, and I sang Hound Dog at Karaoke once, you crazed deluded woman.

ATKINS
Well you love hambrugers, Elvis loved hamburgers.

SMITH
I occaisonally goto McDonalds thats not exactly compelling evidence.

VO
Mrs Atkins I think we'll be leaving.

SOUND OF CLINKING BOTTLES AND SOME ONE WALKING UP THE PATH, SINGING A VERY CONVINCING HOUND DOG IN AN ELVIS ACCENT.

VO
Is that who I think it is?

ATKINS
Oh that's just Aaron Presley, the milkman, here's your money, Aaron.

AARON
Thank you very much.

ATKINS
Of course I think he might have a secret identity.

VO
You may be onto something.

ATKINS
I think he's sir Paul MacCartney.

VO
But he's living in New York

ATKINS
That's just what he wants you to believe.

Good one Sooty. Good idea too.

Like this, very funny.

I like the ones where you don't slag off a poor, defenseless politician at the end.

I liked this one too. My only gripe was with the ending. I thought Paul McCartney lives in England anyway. But I'm no expert on celebrities. Maybe I just need to get Heat a bit more often.

Good point, I need to think of another big celebrity.
