Bad News Sketch

Int. Front Room

A man is sat on a sofa with a female PC. The man is crying.

Man: I don’t believe you… It can’t be true… not my little girl… NOOOOOOOOO!!!

The WPC rubs the man’s arms.

WPC: I’m so sorry. But you knew I wanted to join the police.

Haha!
Now that tickled my funny bone. You seem to be very adept at employing this sort of perspective-change which works so well in sketches. And no humourless fannying about either. Nice one.

Good!

haha first thing to make me properly laugh on here in ages! Very nice. Slick. Funny. You managed the joke so smoothly, I didn't see that angle coming.

Thanks all!

It's just a good old fashioned reveal joke.

Yes.

I like this. :)

At last! Something funny, good stuff.

Concur with the above!

Should have said earlier, but that's dead good.

Reckon you could Tiltify it?

And such a saucy little line on your signature.

Thanks all.

Sooty, I think it would be damn near impossible to rewrite this for radio. Without a lot of exposition, anyway.

I'd like to write more things like this. Maybe my next project can be a prime time sketch show hosted by Little and Large with sketches for all the family.

It's a good sketch, Winterlight. Your grand experiment has paid off. Go have yourself a cookie.

Nothing wrong with this!

Winterlight, Little and Large would, I'm sure, be proud to have had this in their back catalogue.

Nice one.
