The world's stingiest time traveller 3

1

SCENE1

IN A STABLE IN BETHLEHEM JOSEPH AND MARY STAND OVER A COT FROM WHICH A WARM GLOW EMENATES.

WE SEE 3 WISE MEN STNADING IN A ROW EACH HAS A SMALL GIFT THAT THEY ARE PROFFERING.

THE 4TH PERSON IS A TIME TRAVELLER WITH A KODAK CAMERA, HE TAKES A PICTURE OF THE CRIB AND RUNS OFF.

SCENE2

A CHURCH WITH A SIGN OUTSIDE WHICH READS,

"Bonniest baby photo competition prize £5"

THE TIME TRAVELLER WALKS IN LOOKING SMUG.

2

WORLD WAR 1 TRENCH A BIG GROUP OF TOMMIES ARE READY FOR THE ATTACK, AND THE TIME TRAVELLER WHO HAS A VEST ON A STICK.

A WHISTLE BLOWS THE TOMMIES GO OVER THE TOP, THE TIME TRAVELLER DUCKS DOWN AND STICKS HIS STICK OVER THE TRENCH.

FX SOUND OF MACHINE GUN FIRE.

THE TIME TRAVELLER LOOKS AT HIS THOROUGHLY HOLED VEST, AND PULLS OUT LIST.

"Make string vest,"

CROSSES IT OFF.

Nice idea for a runner. I like 1 especially. Should end with him slapping the photo down triumphantly though.

There's anpther 2 floating around, I'm going to do one where he uses Hiroshima to cook his tea.

Time travel gags, no where near enough of them.

Agreed - definitely a great ongoing idea.

Yes, I like no.1 in particular.

How do you establish he's a time traveller though? Or is it going to be a straight Dr Who parody? Dead Ringers got away with it, so it's possible.

It's a sequel to this earlier sketch

But I suppose I could stick in a bit with him scarpeing to his time machine.

I see him as dressing as a kind of flea bitten Tom Baker.

Good no.1, silent comedy style.
