Dr Shakespeare.

Edit 3

DAVID TENANT IS TALKING TO 2 THEATRICAL TYPES.

DAVID

I'm so pleased you decided to offer me the role of Hamlet. Did you see me on Casanova, or Taking over the Asylum?

TT1

Actually we wanted to ask you a favour David.

TT2

Ever since schools stopped teaching complete Shakespeare plays no one wants to see them.

DAVID

And you think I can make them more popular?

TT1

No kids today love High School Musical.

TT2

Could you go back in time and persuade Shakespeare to write it. Then we can show it.

DAVID

I thought you were after my acting talents.

TT1

Alright not High School Musical, how about Holly Oaks?

DAVID

You're missing the essential part I am not just the bloody Dr, I'm complex.
TT1

Ok we understand, you can't disrupt the space continuim.

TT2

Could you atleast persuade the Daleks to exterminate Spamelot. Those bastards are taking the bread from our mouths.

DAVID

I keep telling you I'm not just the Dr. I'll get you.

STORMS OFF.

TT1

Bloody actors eh.

FX SOUND OF TARDIS.

TT2

This Shakespeare play we're puting on tonight, has it changed I thought it was Hamlet?

TT1

Now it's, the RSC are bunch of wankers.

Very funny idea, and it was working well, but you kind of lost it at the end - the Dr's last line is a bit of a mess and I did not understand the final line.

I was trying to imply he is the Dr and goes back in time to give them a horrible play.

I will clarify like butter!

Edited.

My favourite line is

Ok we understand, you can't disrupt the space continuim

Good stuff!

An interesting idea.

I quite liked this, but the ending doesn't work. David Tennant keeps insisting he isn't the Doctor, but then suddenly he is? Also the last exchange between the theatrical types doesn't make much sense.

If you can come up with a different ending, then I think you'll have a very good sketch in your caring hands.
