RACE! Sketch

DAD IS SHOUTING AT DAUGHTER AND SON FOR MESSING AROUND.

Dad
It's out of order and not only you have you ashamed yourselves but you have embarrased the whole family.

Daughter
Sorry Dad.

Son
Yeah it will not happen again, promise.

Dad
It's simply not good enough. We have a respectable reputation around here.

(THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR, DAD ANSWERS IT, HIS MATE IS AT THE DOOR)

Dad's mate
Alright Steve, do you want a game?

Dad
(LAUGHS) Get in!

(DAD RUNS OVER AND GETS IN A MOBILITY SCOOTER,HIM AND HIS FRIENDS START TO RACE EACH OTHER IN THEM, CAMERA CUTS TO A LINE OF OLD PEOPLE WHO ARE SITTING ON A WALL)

Elderly Woman
We really need to get home, stop taking the piss.

Dad
(DAD DRIVES PAST THEM) Just one more lap.

I think we need to know what he's scolding the kids for. Maybe they're pissing about with a Scaletrix set and one of the cars shoots off and lands in his soup.

Yeah, I think you might be right David, I'll have a go of that after the Liverpool game (come on you reds!) Anyway thanks for the feedback mate.

I think David's right here. There is something there that makes it funny but it still seems very raw. Needs a bit of thought and polishing methinks.
