The premise

Here’s the bit.

Master Taylor has come to an old house to clear out a dead woman's belongings when a noise from a locked room brings his lantern-carrying servant Mippins running with a warning: the Woman of Darkness has stalked these halls for 130 years and will drag them both to hell. When the door opens on a wailing ghost, Taylor is smitten rather than scared, and ignores warnings about his soul to try a corny pick-up line, which she rejects. As he slinks off to bed, Mippins offers to be his wingman and sells his master to the ghost, who happily has Taylor delivered to her. Taylor vanishes into the dark room with her and staggers out moments later in a panic: she wants children soon, and somehow she is already with child. The sketch ends as a mock NHS safe-sex warning about ghosts.

Why didn't you tell me she's hot?

Would you permit me to wingman you, sir?
