Fireman

INT. DAY. FIRE STATION.

FIREMAN: Blue Watch are at that massive fire on High Street!

CUT TO EXT. FIREMEN CLIMBING UP LADDERS AND PEOPLE SLIDING DOWN CHUTES.

CUT TO INT. FIREMAN: Fireman Makelele, you've gone too far this time.

CAMERA PANS ROUND TO SEE A WITCH DOCTOR/FIREMAN PLAYING SNAKES AND LADDERS AND USING TOY FIREMEN AS COUNTERS.

ENDS.

Sorry didn't quite understand this one.

No worries, meant to be a fireman doing voodoo so the other shift gets all the dangerous jobs.

I did not get that at all. And I have a diet rich in fish.

Aah good idea, but it maybe a little to complex for such a short space.

It may be easier to use something really identifiable like a voodoo doll or something similar?

I got it and was amused. For what it's worth.

I think the last line needs to be more explicit. The 'rescuing cats' thing muddies the waters a bit. How about something along the lines of "Fireman Makelele, you've gone too far this time" and having the witch doctor in full voodoo garb but with a yellow helmet?

I think the pieces on the snakes and ladders board also have to be little firemen.
