Written and performed by Kevin Chilvers and Matt Sanders.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>SCENE ONE: Restaurant</strong></p><p><em>Mr Godwin is in a restaurant with a variety of females. The scene plays as a montage with Mr Godwin doing a voiceover with no background sounds on those lines.</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>MR GODWIN: (Voiceover) I started to use the app, just as my neighbour had shown me. After months of not getting any matches, I changed my profile picture to that of Brad Pitt. Again, another useful suggestion from next door. Suddenly I was matching with someone new every day. However, I never realised dating could be so hard…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>MISS DYSON: …so I said to them, \"you'll never take me alive coppers!\"</p><p>MR GODWIN: I don't condone gun violence or disrespecting the law.</p><p>MISS DYSON: Don't worry I didn't kill anyone that time.</p><p>MR GODWIN: That time?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>MAMA: Come to me baby.</p><p>MR GODWIN: I'm not sure this is appropriate in a public place.</p><p>MAMA: Sit on my lap and lick my face.</p><p>MR GODWIN: I think I've left the gas on. I better hurry home.</p><p>MAMA: Oh dear. Once you turn the gas on, there is no way to stop the pressure in the pipes. If you get my drift.</p><p>MR GODWIN: I'm not sure I do.</p><p>MAMA: You can't just turn the gas on and then off straight away. You will need to do some cooking.</p><p>MR GODWIN: Right. Erm… What… What are we cooking?</p><p>MAMA: Anything. The gas is on full and I am boiling in the pan.</p><p>MR GODWIN: I don't understand.</p><p>MAMA: I'm dripping over the side and streaming up the room.</p><p>MR GODWIN: I really do need to leave.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>GORMLESS: I'm a maid in a county house and I'm Gormless.</p><p>MR GODWIN: You're what?</p><p>GORMLESS: Gormless. That's my name sir.</p><p>MR GODWIN: Please don't call me that. Try Philip.</p><p>GORMLESS: Yes Mr Philip sir.</p><p>MR GODWIN: I'm sure your profile said your name was Trixie. And it's just Philip. No sir.</p><p>GORMLESS: I don't use my real name on the app Just Philip, no sir. You can never be too careful. There's a lot of weirdos about.</p><p>MR GODWIN: Indeed.</p><p>GORMLESS: I do hope this date is taking place before the Bumpkin Manor episodes, or I'm dead. Now there's a funny thought. Have you ever dated anyone who might be dead?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>MR GODWIN: (Voiceover) I'd had enough. There is only so much one can take. I headed back home to visit my neighbour.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>SCENE TWO: The casino</strong></p><p><em>Mr Godwin is in Spiv's house. He continues his voiceover, but it is clear he has been relaying this information to Spiv. </em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>MR GODWIN: After that date, we had another a few days later. I thought everything was going well. Then she never replied to any more of my messages.</p><p>SPIV: Sounds like she's ghosted you.</p><p>MR GODWIN: My god. I hope she isn't dead.</p><p>SPIV: Nah. Ghosting. She's not an actual ghost, she just decided not to continue talking to you.</p><p>MR GODWIN: Well, why didn't she say that?</p><p>SPIV: Just the way it works governor. You chat, go on a date then never speak again.</p><p>MR GODWIN: She could have just said she didn't want to chat anymore.</p><p>SPIV: It's the way dating is in this day and age. Don't worry, there's plenty more fishfingers in the sea.</p><p>MR GODWIN: I chatted to one lady for a whole week. Every ten minutes, message after message, then when I suggested we meet up, she said we didn't have a connection.</p><p><br></p><p>Listen in to get more...</p>","author_name":"Kevin Chilvers and Matt Sanders"}
