TWO Miliband Runners

Here you go.
Two Miliband runner sketches that I figured would be best to put in one thread.

1) MILIBAND TAKES No.10 by Mikey J

INT. BATHROOM OF NUMBER 10. DAY.

DAVID MILIBAND IS BRUSHING HIS TEETH, WEARING PYJAMAS.
A SHOCKED GORDON BROWN ENTERS.

MILIBAND:
Morning, Prime Minister. I trust you slept well.

GORDON:
Miliband. What are you doing in my bathroom?

MILIBAND:
You asked me round here.

GORDON:
No, I didn't.

MILIBAND:
Yes, you did. Otherwise, why would I be here?

GORDON:
Oh, right. Where's my wife? She seems to have disappeared.

MILIBAND:
I don't know, Gordon. Maybe she went out this morning and did something completely random, such as… er… house-hunting.

GORDON:
House-hunting? In the current economic climate? What the hell is she thinking? Why would we need another house anyway?

MILIBAND:
Don't know. Women are so fickle. They can never have enough shoes, so maybe she thought she can never have enough houses.

GORDON:
Silly mare. Oh, and another thing. Where's my furniture? Everything's gone. And the strangest thing is, it's all been replaced by… well… your furniture.

MILIBAND:
Really? Well, fancy that.

MILIBAND'S WIFE ENTERS THE BATHROOM IN HER DRESSING GOWN.

WIFE:
Morning, boys.

MILIBAND:
Morning, sweetheart.

GORDON:
What the hell is your wife doing here? What's going on?

WIFE:
Haven't you told him yet, David?

GORDON:
Told me what?

MILIBAND:
All right, Gordon. We should have told you sooner. Thing is… we've moved into Number Ten.

GORDON:
Why?

MILIBAND:
Because… (STRUGGLING FOR ANSWER) we… like it.

WIFE:
This means, Gordon, that you're going to have to move out.

GORDON:
Oh. I see. Okay. Well, I'll be going, then.

MILIBAND AND WIFE:
Yes, ‘Bye, Gordon.

GORDON STARTS TO WALK OFF, THEN STOPS.

GORDON:
Hey, for a minute there, I thought you were after my job.

GORDON AND MILIBAND LAUGH AT GORDON‘S FOOLISHNESS. GORDON THEN LEAVES. MILIBAND AND WIFE LOOK RELIEVED.

WIFE:
Thank heavens for that. I thought he was never going to leave. So, what are your plans for today, David?

MILIBAND:
Oh, Nothing much. This afternoon, I'll be presenting Prime Minister's Question Time. But, before that, I'm going to shag Gordon's wife.

END.

2) MILIBAND DOES PRIME MINISTER'S QUESTION TIME by Mikey J

INT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. DAY.

DAVID MILIBAND STANDS UP TO ADDRESS THE HOUSE.

MILIBAND:
And, yes, Mr Speaker. The Right Honourable Gentleman is correct. I do think he's a jumped-up slimey git and a disgrace to the Conservative Party. And yes. I have heard of Nick Clegg. I do believe he works here, selling ice creams during the interval.

GORDON BROWN WALKS ON, LOOKING SHOCKED.

GORDON:
Miliband. What are you doing?

MILIBAND:
Sorry, Gordon. I'm a bit busy right now. I'm in the middle of Prime Minister's Question Time.

GORDON:
Why the hell are you doing it? It's the job of the Prime Minister.

MILIBAND:
Is it? What makes you say that?

GORDON:
There's a clue in the title, Miliband. Prime Minister's Question Time.

MILIBAND:
Your point being?

GORDON:
Oh, for God's sake. I'm the Prime Minister, so I should be doing it, not you.

MILIBAND:
Relax, Gordon. I was just keeping your seat warm for you.

GORDON SITS DOWN NEXT TO MILIBAND.

GORDON:
Hey, for a minute there, I thought you were after my job.

MILIBAND:
No, don't be silly, Gordon.

GORDON AND MILIBAND LAUGH AT GORDON‘S FOOLISHNESS.

MILIBAND THEN LOOKS AT GORDON.

MILIBAND:
Tell you what. Your wife don't half go.

MILIBAND BENDS HIS ARM, PUTTING HIS HAND IN THE INSIDE ELBOW, SIGNIFYING THE SIGN OF SEX.

END.

Not bad, I rather enjoyed them.

I like the idea of Miliband moving in and trying to take Gordon's place in his life, whilst pretending he's not, and quite liked the first sketch. But the second didn't do that much for me.

Could maybe use the fact Mrs Brown's been going round stalls at the conference this week.

I think I'd lose the Milliband shagging Mrs Brown, it dilutes it a bit.

Thanks guys.
There are loads od directions I could take further instalments. :)

Yeah, for me it didn't really sound right - prob is, she's so low-profile, and, according to the papers today, lovely, so unless you create a character for her, it seems a bit strained

yeah, I s'pose. The shagging bit highlighted the fact that Miliband was gonna take over his whole life, not just his job.

It might also be a problem that Miliband isn't some Alpha male super politician.

He's more a naughty boy pinching fags out of his mum's handbag.

lol. Yeah, I agree.
:P

Like the sketches. The shagging of the wife kind of fitted in for me as he is f**king Gordon generally, he may as well shag his wife too! But the sketches would still work without the shagging and lose nought.
