TOM: Are we a nation of fattys? We're going to talk about weight and obesity in this country. I'm joined by Susan Cassidy who is a nutritionist and works for the National Health Organisation.

SUSAN: Thanks Tom. Latest findings have been staggering. One in two adults are overweight and one in eight or obese.
TOM: And are these actual findings or are they just the opinion of each individual person and what they thinks about themselves?

TOM: Ah yes the fatter letters. Do you think vowels should lose weight?

TOM INTERRUPTS.
TOM: And our time is up. Thank you very much for joining us Susan Cassidy.
this is hilarious! a slightly different style that most of the sketches on this site take. It's the same awkward/bizarre emphasis over strict punchline that I tend to use in my own writing and I think it works very well here. congrats.
