I'm a big fan of The Goon Show and, inspired by a comment I saw online, I thought it'd be fun to try and create how the infamous 'What time is it?' skit if it had been written using modern technology.
Bluebottle: What time is it Eccles?
Eccles: Err, just a minute. I, I've got a screenshot of it ’ere on my mobile.
A nice man did it for me this morning.
Bluebottle: Ooooh, then why do you carry it around with you, Eccles?
Eccles: Well, umm, if a anybody
asks me the ti-ime, I ca-can show it to dem.
Bluebottle: Wait a minute Eccles, my good man...
Eccles: What is it fellow?
Bluebottle: It's showin on this screenshot here, what is eight o'clock,
is showin.
Eccles: I know that my good fellow. That's right, um, when I asked the
fella to do it for me, it was eight o'clock.
Bluebottle: Well then. Supposing when somebody asks you the time, it
isn't eight o'clock?
Eccles: Ah, den I don't show it
to dem.
Bluebottle: Ooohhh...
Eccles: [Smacks lips] Yeah.
Bluebottle: Well how do you know when it's eight o'clock?
Eccles: I've got a screenshot of
it on my mobile!
Bluebottle: Oh, I wish I could afford a mobile phone with the time
screenshot on.
Eccles: Oohhhh.
Bluebottle: 'Ere Eccles?
Eccles: Yah.
