Yet another Tilt reject (TM). I still have *no* idea if this works or not... I think it was the week Bush and Brown were due to meet up/met up or something and hence topical (in my eyes!)
(The 'DRESSED AS' bits were the similarly-successful NR/TS rewrites.)

THE MIGHTY BUSH
=======================
GRAMS: SOUNDBITE OF MIGHTY BOOSH SOUNDTRACK WITH WORD ‘BOOSH’ REPLACED BY ‘BUSH’
GORDON BROWN (DRESSED AS HOWARD MOON) AND GEORGE BUSH (FLAMBOYANTLY DRESSED AS VINCE NOIR) DURING TALKS
GORDON:
Hey, hey, hey, W. Bush! Britain love me!
BUSH:
Britain do not love you, Gordon.
GORDON:
They do – they think I'm a messiah!
BUSH:
They think you're a mess.
GORDON:
Yeah?
BUSH:
Yeah.
GORDON:
Yeah?!
BUSH:
(LAUGHS) Oh, yeah.
GORDON:
Well, they don't think you're so cool.
BUSH:
I am cool. I understand things.
GORDON:
You understand nothing, sir.
BUSH:
Cheney the Colossus says I understand things. Popular culture. The youth impact of BBC3. 'Dead Ringers'.
GORDON:
You do not get 'Dead Ringers'!
BUSH:
Hey, I *get* 'Dead Ringers'! Culshaw is one cool cat.
GORDON:
I'm a cool cat. A real funk-biscuit!
BUSH:
(LAUGHS) There's no *way* you're a funk biscuit.
GORDON:
I could be a funk biscuit.
BUSH:
You could never be a funk biscuit. At best, you're a... jazz hob-nob.
GORDON:
What's a jazz hob-nob? That's not even a thing!
BUSH:
It is. It's like a mormon digestive. (BEAT) Only not as cool.
GORDON:
You can't just make things up and expect people to laugh. You're not Noel Fielding. (PAUSE) Why do these Iraq talks take so long, do you think?
BUSH:
No idea. Do you like my shoes? Platforms are in again. 'Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.' told me.
GORDON:
Can't we get Naboo and Bolo to fix this global crisis?
BUSH:
Nah – they've gone to Naboo-tlins.
GORDON:
Every time. (BEAT) I guess we'll have to resolve it in the usual humourous way then...
BOTH BEGIN TO 'CRIMP'
BOTH:
Iraq-Iraq-Iraq. Global terrorism.
Stop the bombing of innocent civilians
Bringing order and democracy. (PAUSE) Slow-ly.
(WHISPERS) Very slowly
Improving relations with Iran, Afghan-i-stan and North Korea;
stopping any humanitarian crisis can wait
as we fight, fight, fight
for oil, oil, oil
Lovely black stuff—
GORDON:
—slick little black stuff—
BOTH:
Funding our incompetence with taxes from the
Rising price, price, price of—
GORDON/BUSH:
(SIMULTANEOUS) —Petrol/—Gasoline!

Ok that's good, albeit intro is a bit long. But my word you were ambitious!
You were looking for them 2 do impersonations, of people do impersonations of others, and then sing.
Nice skit, though made me smile.

I think it's great - but you need the visuals I think which is why maybe Tilt passed on it.

Hmm now Treason would definitely go for this, and if you were to send a sketch show pilot script. It would make it more noticable.

You reckon? They certainly haven't said anything yet if they have and I sent them all in at the same time. Ah, maybe next run...

No luck so far, will happily PM you some tips.
They know what they like, and some subjects have to be adressed a certain way.

Yeah, go on then. You seem to have a decent success rate there

Nicely done, Dan. How do you go about submitting scripts to 4Laughs anyway - do you email Fay personally? I'm feeling like I need some validation today.

Though you might get feedback from a couple more people, which might be worth it if you think it is.
