FX: VAN DRIVING AWAY

I like that even though it's not completely original.

Remember the Maestro and the talking instructions years ago? I think it may have been on Not the Nine O'Clock News where the angry driver gets all annoyed. Eventually he gets out and the voice says: "Don't slam the door. Don't slam the door."

Oh I like this, I don't care if it's slightly unoriginal. It's well written, well paced, and funny, and a proper honest to goodness punchline.

Keep hold of it, it'll be great for the next BBC talent sweep.
