Damn, missed it again, I was onstage at the time. Did they do any Jeremy Kyle or Dragon's Den sketches?

Loads of brilliant stuff about the Premium Rate Phone-Ins fiasco. Laughing

The writing scrolling along the bottom of the screen in the "The Mint" sketch was brilliant! It said stuff like: "We promise not to keep you on hold for more than six months" and "Calls cost just £374 per minute" (or something) etc etc

I had to watch both the "Mint" sketches twice so I didn't miss the jokes on the ticker. They actually read:

FIRST SKETCH
Call 0909 879 0909 now. All calls cost £9.99 per minute. You have a chance of getting through equal to that of giving birth to the second coming. No calls are recorded. We may hang up without warning. Call 0909 879 0909 now if you think you know the answer. Remember, the call will cost you as much as if you were to fill a supermarket trolley with £50 notes and set the whole thing on fire. Calls cost no more than buying a penthouse apartment in New York, getting it re-decorated by Colin & Justin in pure gold paint and then sticking 24 carat diamonds all over it. You have as much chance of winning as you do of winning a fight with an enraged tiger on drugs.

SECOND SKETCH
Call 0909 879 0909 now to enter. We promise not to keep you on hold for more than six months at a time, at a very reasonable rate of £378 per minute (give or take a grand). Calls won't be recorded for training purposes, but we might record them so we can all listen to them later and laugh at your funny accent. Call 0909 879 0909 now...no, hang on...our bank account's been frozen. To enter place cash in brown envelope and leave in left luggage locker at Victoria Station, marked for the attention of Micha..........

The Brian Dowling impression was very good too Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Brian: "You know what those blue flashing lights mean?"

Brian: "No it's the fraud sqaud. We are being raided!"

Very Happy
