The premise

Here’s the bit.

A television reporter prepares to record an eyewitness account of a road accident. The eager witness keeps launching into his story whenever the reporter speaks, even when he is addressing the cameraman. Repeated instructions to wait only provoke more false starts, and the reporter eventually loses his temper and punches him.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Please do not say anything until I have asked you a question.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The published script calls this sketch Fast Talker and names the eyewitness Mr Travis. His name is not spoken in the broadcast version.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
