Midsommer

JOHN NETTLES IS DRIVING IN A POLICE CAR WITH ANOTHER ACTOR.

JOHN

I can't believe they're doing this to my show, I was Berjerac.

ACTOR

Come on John it was bound to happen. There were only so many murders could take place in sleepy Midsommer before it became ridiculous.

JOHN

I know a different old duffer from a sitcom in the 70s getting killed every week, but damn it I was Berjerac.

ACTOR

We're hear now behave yourself John, and remember this is a very serious crime.

THEY GET OUT OF THE CAR AND GO INTO A POLICE STATION

THEY'RE INTERVIEWING RICHARD BRIERS WHOSE DRESSED AS A PRIEST.

JOHN

In your own words tell us what happened.

RICHARD

I was at the pub this group of lads started buying me drinks, then they told me I had nice eyes. Then, then

JOHN

What happened next father.

RICHARD

Oh they pulled me over the skittles table ....

VO

New to ITV for summer, Midsommer male, gang, rape.

heh heh heh!
Very wicked. (not wicked as in street slang, but the original meaning)

I could see this on a late night TV sketch show.
Could even work on radio with a John Nettles impersonator.

It made me chuckle from the beginning as there ARE too many murders in Midsomer.
