And the winner is......

  1. (studio Journo)Roger: We cross live now to our reporter in Heaven. Kate, can you hear me?
    Kate: (after 30 second delay) Yyyeess Roger. I can hear you...jjust.
    Roger: Have they announced the winner yet?
    Kate: Ah, just about to. Look it is hard to hear you above the crowd noise . We've got people of all religious persuasions as you can imagine. And they are just going ballistic cheering for their team. It's bigger than Eurovision!
    Roger: Who do you think will win?
    Kate: I'm not discounting anyone at the moment. With over 100 entries, it is an absolute lottery. If I had to go for someone, it would be the Scientologists. Just they have star power. They were meant for red carpet events like this. Cruise and Travolta are smiling like they've already won it. But the whole story of them getting into heaven in the first place, is mind-blowing really.
    Roger: Ok thanks Kate. We might ask our studio expert here, Frank McCormack, what he thinks. Frank?
    Frank: Look, it's a lay-down mezaire. A Christian team will win for sure. and I'm putting my money on the Catholics! They've got the history, the tradition, the Pope. I don't like the game monopoly but I think it is fair to say, they have a monopoly on the truth. It's pass Go, collect 200 dollars and win, win, win!
    Roger: But Frank, how can you discount the Jews or Muslims so easily? They've grown enormously in the last 1000 years?

    This piece has potential, honestly speaking. If I could collaborate with someone, maybe this would a reasonable comedy skit at least. I enjoy writing this kind of stuff but blind to its flaws perhaps.
