The Speaking Clock

V/O:
At the third stroke, the time currently sponsored by no one due to Accurist withdrawing their funding because they are doing some online palaver will be eight o'clock precisely.

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

V/O:
At the third stroke, who the hell rings me anyway. Bloody mobile phones ruined it for me and the internet, don't get me started about it, will be eight o'clock and thirty seconds.

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

V/O:
At the third stroke, on the bloody dole next, I can't go on. SFX GUNSHOT FOLLOWED BY TEN SECONDS OF SILENCE.

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Loved the first two line, not so keen on the ending, would have him taking advantage of the fact no-one rings that number.

It's a very good idea, but length is a problem it needs to be quite clipped in my view.

Suicide in the last line is a bit predictable, I'd have him in the last line switch to who ever is sponsoring him.

Porn channel, McDonalds, Virign mobile, Tesco who ever.

And how they would change the message.

I rather liked it, and I am not certain that a lot could be trimmed without losing the joke.

Kind of agree with much of above, even though that would contradict each other

Am thinking maybe now the speaking clock is also handled from New Delhi where an Indian accent puts you in a queue, then tries to sell you crap before telling you the time.

Thanks for feedback.
