Spartacus

Close shot of a television set showing a scene from Spartacus. We see Spartacus stand up and say "I'm Spartacus" followed by a whole host of others all standing up and saying, "NO! I'm Spartacus" etc.

Pull back to reveal that the television is in the House of Commons. Jaqui Smith is standing next to the television.

SMITH: And that is why the members of this house need to vote in favour of implementation of the National Identity Card Scheme....and to bring back crucifixion.

I like it!

I reckon you could change Spartacus to whoever the next big identity/fraud case is and send this off to any topical show. Maybe when Tilt comes around again (if a similar case/news story came up at the time).

Excelent I command you to send that to TS/NR, albiet changing strage directions to actors shouting the Spartacus lines.
