"Shoot the Writers"

Approximately as funny as contracting AIDS.

This horsesh!t has airtime because .... ?

the kind of thing th-at would work with characters, a lot of these sketches don't work either A) because there is no chance to buil up jokes
and B) because there is no character history.

This is my idea.

A guy in a strip club. He’s there with a group and having a drink. Some bird not wearing a lot comes over and asks if he’d like a private dance. He says he would.

The next shot is him dancing to some music in a booth. A stripper walks in and he tells her to fook off because it’s his private dance. He then dances…end.

Genius, no?

That show would no doubt ruin it.

My sketches would be the best but would rely on decent actors for expressions etc

I ain't gonna stick up for it.

Yes I had a sketch on it (well, at leats three on the series - maybe more, but I was only told about two of them so who knows?), but some of the others are just plain embarrassing. Also, some of them are rip-offs of old jokes. If the best I could do was to steal the work of someone else I'd be thoroughly ashamed. Actually I'd probably throw a rope around my neck and do the world a favour.

It was a great idea, but a lousy budget and odd choices from the producers ruined it.

said the man with the inventive username.

Does the sketch carry on or is the thread expected to keep it going?

I have an idea for a sketch.

It's in a strip club, so even if you don't like my gentle comedy, Borat, there would be naked ladies about.

There are one or two decent jokes, ruined by the absolutely appalling acting and cheap production. It’s not the writers who need shooting though, How about shoot the director?

Heh, you know what I mean though :P

Hollyoaks Still has writers. Not something I'd be proud of............
