The Pits

INT. DAY. DOCTORS.

DOCTOR: What seems to be the problem?

MAN: Its my armpits doctor. Every time I raise my arms.

MAN RAISES ARMS. SFX BLUE DANUBE.

MAN: Classical music plays from my armpits.

DOCTOR: (listening with stethoscope) Hold your arms up again please.

SFX WILLIAM TELL OVERTURE.

MAN: Its very strange.

DOCTOR: Strange indeed, it's a whole octave lower than what it should be.

MAN: (confused) Erm.

DOCTOR: You have Prombosis, it's a fairly common seasonal complaint. It should pass in a few days.

MAN: Prombosis. Is there anything I can take for it?

DOCTOR: Not really. The best advice I could give would be to spray some deoderant, buy a small flag and go to the Albert Hall.

MAN: The Albert Hall?

DOCTOR: Yes, Prombosis sufferers stage a convention there every year.

MAN: You wouldn't recommend shaving the armpits?

DOCTOR: No, you must never shave your armpits during a Prombosis outbreak.

MAN: Ok, may I ask why?

DOCTOR: Why?

DOCTOR RAISES ARMS. SFX LAUREL AND HARDY TUNE.

Funny! Reminds one of the Python tape-recorder-up-nose sketch - which is a good thing.

Love your sense of humour - brilliant!

Oh, you're doing it again - lose the 'DOCTOR: That's why.'

'Prombosis' - PUNDERFUL!

Super stuff Nigel. "strange indeed. It's a whole octave lower" was a great line.

Brilliant.

Yeah, I agree the "strange indeed. It's a whole octave lower" line was the best bit.

Thanks for feedback, and for lovers of classical music 'Last Night Of The Proms' is on BBC 1 tonight.

Rather good similar to a Kenny Everett one with boobs.

But another killer simple sketch by Nigel Kelly.

I love the way your stuff could go out at 11am or 11pm.

Yes, good one.

Champion stuff, another good sketch

Superb - agree with Rob and Mikey re: the best line, it's a killer in subverting our expectation. You have an unique angle on many of your sketches.
