After a couple of days of writing, BritishZombie, Britkid and I have completed two scripts. If you want to write with us, just PM me and we'll get started on one of your sketches. We will PM you during your script development to ask for your input on the script, and what you think should be done. so whenever you want one of YOUR sketches written up, just send me a PM.
Anyway, here we go...
Script 1: Life of Brian…and Ruth
Couple is sitting on sofa. Brian is reading the Village Paper. They are both drinking whisky.
Brian: Did you hear about the theft last week?
Ruth: Oh yes. Farmer Barrow’s pig got stolen. Terrible business.
Brian: Says here he was a ‘big, fat pig with white spots’.
Ruth: Oh yes, I often see that breed.
Brian reading from paper: Someone has been stealing apples from the floor of the church garden. They had apparently fallen off the tree.
Ruth: Oh yes, terrible business.
Silence here, with them just looking at the TV. Goes to TV view. There’s a man hosting a chat show, much like Graham Norton.
Chat show presenter: In camp accent: And now!!! We have our next guest: a washed-up rock star.
Brian: What’s wrong with that man?
Ruth: He’s gay dear.
Brian: New trend is it? Young people nowadays.
Ruth: Oh yes.
Cut to TV. The channel changes to the news. A newsreader shuffles his papers and looks at camera.
Newsreader: Studies have shown that crime in Britain has risen by 99.9% in the last few hours….
Cut back to Brian and Ruth.
Brian: Hah! it’s all these blacks I say! Taking over the corner shops… (the irony is obvious)
Camera zooms out to show an identical couple watching Brian and Ruth on TV.
Ruth: This is a load of bollocks.

Woman tries to shove past.
Woman: Excuse me!....
Phil: So remember, any accidents or injuries at work, Insure-4-Yoons, that’s 0800....
Woman: Right, that’s it! I'm calling the police!
Phil: Sssh, love. Cameras are on. Turns back to camera So, call us now, on 0800-
Phil is cut short, as an unnecessary amount of policemen tackle him and beat him down. Cut to a rather battered Phil being taken away from the building
Phil : Remember that number, 0880, 468, 1722-
Phil is smacked on the head by a policeman’s baton.
Policeman: SHUT IT, TUFNELL!!!
Policeman throws Phil into the back of the car. Camera cuts to the rear of the car. the number starts scrolling across the bottom of the screen. As the car drives off, Phil motions a phone with his fingers next to his ear, and mouths the words, “Call us!”
