Nige,

If anything, they're *too* short! Might work well between sketches in something quick-paced, like The Kevin Bishop Show, but not really strong enough to stand out by themselves.

Quick laughs.

Clever puns, but to be pedantic: you wouldn't play a drive to short leg, so maybe change "drive" to "glance". :)
