sketch show - In development

SOMERTON NOWT

SOMERTON NOWT is a new, imaginative TV comedy sketch show by exciting new  comedy writers The Northern Monkeys. We follow the exploits of the morally  bankrupt bid team, the naturally gifted artists and the philistines of Somerton as they  all pull together to become the next Yorkshire Capital of Culture.  Will their bid be successful? 

Somerton Nowt - Yorkshire Capital of Culture - if it's not from Yorkshire, it's shite!

Below are some example sketches from Episode 4 of our new sketch show, Somerton Nowt - a current work in progress from The Northern Monkeys.  


The show is aimed at the post watershed market, the show comprises 6 x 1/2 hour episodes with sketches varying in length from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

1. The Train Approaching Platform 1

Bid Team Leader and Dog Mum wannabe, Margot is waiting for her train back  to Somerton when she disastrously attracts the attention of a chocolate loving  Yorkshire Terrier. (1 min) 

2. Taxi for Margot

Arriving late at Somerton Margot hails a taxi from the 1970’s driven by ageing  former porn star Big John Gnomes. Can she handle his advances, or will she  cave into Mr. Charisma? 

(3 min)

3. Knock Knock

Door knocking intern Jacob is greeted by Somerton resident Elsie who is a  little hard of hearing. She’s a house full of cats with mittens to match. Will we  ever see Jacob again? (1 min) 

4. No Cash Today

Margot’s taxi ride takes an unexpected turn, she has no cash and has been  offered an alternative way to pay. Will she choose the hard or soft option?  (2 min) 

The Northern Monkeys - Who are ya?

The Northern Monkeys are Matthew Fray, Daniel Powell, Jane Turley and Dave Uttley.
