OK so not actually a screenplay this one, these are the collected sketches of Jim Blythe and Graham Parry written for screen. Some of these have subsequently been re-written and recorded as audio sketches and you might find them in ‘Comic Vibes’ under the ‘Radio’ tab on this site.

The first batch
The second batch

Simon runs the lousiest pub in Britain – a place populated by a cast of pathetic losers who all have something to hide. Sappy Will is in love with ice queen Vicki but she’s just decided she’s not too keen on him. Will’s best mate Jon fancies himself as a bit of a player, but his carefully constructed world of dangerous liaisons is about to come crashing down around his ears. A one act play for anyone familiar with lousy pubs full of silly boys!

“Jim Blythe’s script won’t radically alter your view of life, the universe and everything, but it’ll certainly put a smile on your face… had me chortling from start to finish” – The Scotsman

About Time

A show for all the family, Aladdin and His Magic Tramp is similar to other ‘Aladdin’s’ but better due to the addition of some magic tricks, some of the corniest jokes ever put on paper and, of course, a magic tramp!

Aladdin and His Magic Tramp

“Thought provoking and wonderfully written” – Broadway Baby
