2 GUYS SITTING MISERABLEY ON THE STAGE DRINKING.
VO
Soup from the Salvation Army?
Pants from outside the SCOPE shop?
White Lightning Cider from Booze Busters?
This isn't just any credit crunch, this is an M&S credit crunch.
Credit Crunch
Oh, very good. And quick, too.
I don't get it soot - if the stuff isn't from M&S how is it the M&S credit crunch?
I echo Sir Simon of Strattonshire's comment.
M&S have had a 20% drop in profits, and are once more circling the drain.
The implication is this is what it's customers and shareholders can look forward to enjoying.
Wouldnt it make more sense if it was stuff that M&S would sell as they went under? Crappy food and cheap, sweat shop produced, salds, etc, etc.
Good idea though.
Ahhhhh... you need them to be sitting outside a boarded up M&S store for us stupid people who don't make the link.
That would be brill, but I'm writing for the News Revue.
Fab show, but they were using masking tape for beards last week.
A montage of a boarded up M&S could be pushing stuff.
I think it could work but you need it more in the normal M&S advert format. I know that gives the joke away a bit but I think you need that for parodies.
"This is not just Salvation Army soup, this is cream of old shoe soup with used underpant croutons"
That sort of thing.
Could be right, but I think that's more of a different skit, about how things go down hill.
Good idea but more of a different skit,
Thanks
Isn't that your skit? whats yours about then!
I'm not sure if the audience would think this:
"The implication is this is what it's customers and shareholders can look forward to enjoying."
I think Afinkawan's suggestion is the best way forwards. Although that would be more Tilt than NewsRevue.
Also, Sooty, seeing as you've been to see NR several times, could you tell me how they portray black characters?
They do funny accents. I wandered that myself, till I saw it.
I was half wondering if you were going to say, "They use insulating tape instead of masking tape."
