IM AND BOB ARE SITTING ON A COUCH CHATTING.

JIM

So Bob you finally tied the knot, whose the lucky girl?

TINA WALKS IN (WEARING A TRACKSUIT WITH A 1 ON IT)

BOB

It's Tina, Tina love could you get us a couple of teas and some Bourbons.

TINA

Sure thing Bob, coming right up.

SHE LEAVES.

JIM

Got her well trained Bob.

JANE ENTERS THE ROOM AND GIVES BOB A BIG HUG, SHE'S A HOMELY SLIGHTLY CHUBBY GIRL. SHE'S WEARING A TRACKSUIT WITH A 2 ON IT.

JANE

Ooh Bob I do love you, my gorgeous teddy weddy.

JANE LEAVES.

JIM

Bob whats going on here? Is Tina super tolerant or have you gone Mormon?

BOB

Nah see since I won the lottery, I thought why marry one bird and have the power cow do everything. No Jim my man it takes a team to love Bob.

GARY WALKS IN SITS ON THE SOFA NEXT TO BOB, TURNS ON THE PLAYSTATION AND CRACKS OPEN A CAN OF STELLA AND FARTS NOISLY. HE'S WEARING A TRACKSUIT WITH A 3 ON IT.

GARY

'ello darling.

JIM

Have you gone bisexual Bob?

BOB

No I bloody well have not. There's 10 of them in team Bob's wife. Gary hear tolerates my blokishness, Tina's house proud, Jane who you met earlier is cuddly and is always nice to me.

JIM

What about sex?

BOB

That's Melanie, doesn't leave the bedroom much.

THERE'S A SOUND OF A KERFUFFLE OUTSIDE AND SHRIEKS.

BOB

That'll be Shaznay she doesn't take shit off the neighbors.

JIM

But Bob this is madness, you can't run a marriage like a company. What about love?

BOB WHISTLES AND AN ENORMOUS GREAT DANE RUNS IN AND JUMPS IN HIS LAP. IT HAS A DOGGY TRACK SUIT WITH A 4 ON IT.

BOB

That's what Saxons for, you love your Bobby Wooby don't you Saxon?

JIM

You know Bob, this is a bit awakward, but well could I see Melanie?

BOB

No you most certainly may not you adulterous pig.

JIM

You fat, bigamist, hypocrite, you...

BOB

Calm yourself man, you can see Sheryl in the guest bedroom. She sleeps with my mates to get back at me.

Nice one Joel. Last line might be sharper, but it is funny.:)

I'll work on it, thanks.

Is the idea for the last line a goer?

Sooty, this great. The great dane is a nice touch. I'd end the sketch there though. You're in danger of it becoming too explainy. Is your name Joel then, like superman's dad?

Yep, last line is good, maybe a touch wordy. Then again, who am I to criticise such minor faults? I like it!

Ues you could check out my interview.

Wordiness kills sketches, I'll de=explain and cut it down.

You could probably lose "my trophy wife who can't bare to look at me and".

Good one. I like it when you stray off the news path.

Ok Saxons a great place to end your wishes are my command.

I wouldn't lose Sheryl, though. Just the words I highlighted.

Hi all Wave

A very good idea this, now I keep thinking of extra wives! How about......

JUST THEN A WOMAN ENTERS LOOKING VERY ANGRY, WAVES HER ARMS ABOUT FURIOUSLY AND STORMS OFF.

JIM: Who the hell was that? You have a wife to play charades with?

BOB: No, that's Gloria, my nagging wife [BEAT] Seemed like a good idea to pick a mute.

Fab!

I wouldn't end it with Saxon though. The Sheryl ending is one of the best bits. I would jump straight to it however:

JIM

You know Bob, this is a bit awakward, but well could I see Melanie?

BOB

You can see Sheryl in the guest bedroom. She sleeps with my mates to get back at me.

Excellent sketch.

Thanks Afinkawan you may be right.

But I'm weak and the idea of a great dane called Saxon in a track suit.

That makes me smile to much.

I may have to goto Battersea now.

I wasn't suggesting getting rid of Saxon - that bit's good too. I just really like the Sheryl ending and feel you'd be missing a very good bit of the sketch if you cut it.

I shall keep it, this one grew out of a conversation on marriage.

Where I opined, it takes a village to raise a child and a well organised team to love Sootyj.

I quite like the way, that when you hove off the sexual elements, you can marry anything.
