Sketches

Coming Soon(ish) to ITV1, cold cases investigated by DCI Helena Hoover (played by Suki Farnaby from that other cop/doctor thing, or maybe that was Suranne Jones) in “No Rush”. Struggle to get witnesses to remember stuff from 30 years ago.

“Star Eliminators” TV show: part-time bricklayer Trovey Bucksheath sings “Living in a Box” (but just the “Living in a Box” bit) and the judges are impressed into reassessing the point of competitive singing shows. Music should be a shared celebration.

Next episode when?

When a rabbit first overpowers a magician and pushes them into the hidden portal inside their hat.

When you feel so hungry you could eat a horse, be sure to stop at the hooves.

Wingnut

(25:30)

  1. @songoftheoss asks: Is emotional Twitter detachment a thing? Alan Musk bought the website and murdered the bird of the website which Wingnut’s Daddy likes but his Mummy thinks is full of blowhards with verbal dinerea.
  2. Peter Shanks asks whether a tramp’s poo done in the woods would still smell. A fox did a poo in Wingnut’s garden, and it did smell. Peter also wishes to pass on his love to Tom, so Wingnut tells Tom that Peter Shanks loves him.
  3. James Curtis asks about his clients, whose rates are inversely proportional to the good that they do in the world. Wingnut understands money is important because of the way his Mummy and Daddy say “oooh” while pacing around reading bits of paper that have come through the door. He understands work is when you come home saying you’re glad to be free of those arseholes for a few hours. The Philosopher Alan Watts said: be engaged with what you are doing in the here and now and instead of calling it work, realise it is play. * Letter of the Episode *
