Inspired, as I so often am, by @JohnFinnemore and @slepkane, I've set up a bung-me-a-coffee-please account, despite being a tea drinker.https://t.co/64HpFbHpXU

To be honest, it sounds more like a potato than a chip.
— Carrie Quinlan (@quinlan_carrie) September 25, 2020
Mainly, I'm excited that the first person who liked this tweet was Janet Fielding. It's a big day.

What is this coffee bunging business, please?
— Carrie Quinlan (@quinlan_carrie) September 25, 2020
I've only just seen this. Dammit. Was I good?
— Carrie Quinlan (@quinlan_carrie) September 25, 2020
Boxers famously only have one massive, bright red finger. Keep up, Kane.
— Carrie Quinlan (@quinlan_carrie) September 25, 2020
We used sound effects and my guess is that there was too much going on that wasn’t onstage. So we made the cast do them onstage and it worked.
— Ed Morrish (@edmorrish) September 24, 2020
I love the joke before too.
— SimooOOOOoon Kane (@slepkane) September 24, 2020
John... Is this just going to be you agreeing with your own sketches?
— SimooOOOOoon Kane (@slepkane) September 24, 2020
Can we tweet along with The Archers now? "Chips the size of boxer's fingers." Is that large for a chip?
— SimooOOOOoon Kane (@slepkane) September 24, 2020
Sorry we were all on whatsapp. What?
— SimooOOOOoon Kane (@slepkane) September 24, 2020
If you fancy bunging Simon Kane a coffee, he's at https://t.co/RqlRRrjUiB . I don't think the others have coffee-bunging emporia, but hopefully they'll correct me if I'm wrong... #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
Kudos to film 5 too for still making that joke work.
— SimooOOOOoon Kane (@slepkane) September 24, 2020
And that's it! Thanks for joining me, I'll do this next week if I'm near a computer at 6:30. If you fancy bunging me a coffee, you can do that at https://t.co/wytGVjDaEq , but there is of course absolutely no need to do so. #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
THAT'S who I'm doing! Oh yes. Yeah. Aw, thanks, man.

I seem to recall a massive corpse from @MCabournSmith here. #jfsp

#jfsp Oh I love the political correctness stuff. I’m totally unprofessionally enjoying it too much. @JohnFinnemore
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
The sloths section is the weakest, but I couldn't bear to cut it because I loved @MCabournSmith doing the 'political correctness has given some sloths a motorbike' line so much. #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
Goodness me, those sloths sound like chimps.
— Ed Morrish (@edmorrish) September 24, 2020
This Since You Ask Me is unusually massive, even for a SYAM. That's partly because it contains a plot (of sorts), but mainly because it was also written for the stage show. I think it was fully fifteen minutes then. (Or 20, when I was making @thatkevinbaker do lots of accents...)
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
My 10yo has never seen any Le Carre, and he’s laughing! #jfsp
— Ed Morrish (@edmorrish) September 24, 2020
Love the way #slepkane delivers 'dammit, they simply won't fit'. #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
Back channels is genuinely fun to say. #jfsp
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
This whole sketch must be baffling for people who've never seen or read Le Carre. Sorry. #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
For example, my goldfish name was Margaret Cabourn-Fish.
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
I love this bit of the zoo sketch (three ants and a bee). It's me trying to do Pete and Dud. And very sensibly giving the Pete lines to @slepkane
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
We spend a lot of time in the edit listening to the music we’re trying to rip off and then finding similar thing that we can clear. #jfsp
— Ed Morrish (@edmorrish) September 24, 2020
... on your turf, certainly. ❤️
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
Ah! One of the many, many characters not played by me called Sam. Or Alex. Tend to call them that so I can cast any of the four, and change it later. But often I forget to change it. (By the way, all the characters in every sketch have names, even if they're never mentioned).
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
Shout out to @syncboxpost for his editing magic in this final sketch. #jfsp
— Ed Morrish (@edmorrish) September 24, 2020
Huge if true. #jfsp
— Ed Morrish (@edmorrish) September 24, 2020
The cast say that the audience don't like it when there's a sketch where they're nasty to me. But I think they don't like it when I'm nasty to them like this one, either. Maybe people just don't like it when people are nasty to people. #jfsp

I can tell my buzzer a mile off #chops

I did an episode of Where Did It All Go Wrong? with Simon Munnery about that.

My silly Russian accent was quite mild in the radio recording, I notice. You should have heard it by the end of 28 tour shows.... #jfsp

Someone tweeted me the other day that presumably in later life, whenever Pavlov heard a bell ring, he thought about his experiments... (sorry not to be able to credit you, funny person) #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
#jfsp This is a sketch from the live show so I have an ironically Pavlovian reaction to it. FLOODED with adrenaline now. @JohnFinnemore
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
This didn’t work when we used FX. We had to make the cast do it to get the required laughs. Valuable lesson: make your cast look stupid wherever possible. #jfsp
— Ed Morrish (@edmorrish) September 24, 2020
This was our opening sketch in our tour show. The audience played Pavlov's dogs... #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
It’s his wiriness.
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
I don't know why, but when I write an 'action scene' sketch, I often seem to cast Lawry in it. #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
You can definitely see the influence of @RealDMitchell on me in the geek sketch... #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
#jfsp This is a sketch I use all the time as an example of geekdom (and my own weirdness about comedy). You can hear me laughing and punching the air.
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
And now we’re back to the biting satire.
— Ed Morrish (@edmorrish) September 24, 2020
We tend to try to follow the didactic point-making ones, with utterly daft ones, like the Constable one... #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
The 'none of your business' bit is the bit I very much believe, and was where this sketch started. #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
A commentary on the news by @JohnFinnemore should be available as an app. #jfsp
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
This sketch was actually written for the live stage show. (The first one, not the tour.) So I actually had my fist in the jar... #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
I think @slepkane might ACTUALLY be the voice in @JohnFinnemore ‘s head #jfsp
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
All these Simon-as-the-voice-in-my-head sketches start off as things it actually occurs to me to do for a fraction of a second... #jfsp
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
Should have made my last line shorter. Ah well.
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
The first observation (scarcity value) has been made before. I wouldn't have done the sketch if I hadn't thought of the souvenir angle. #jfsp

— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
Here we go! Ah, (one of) @quinlan_carrie 's (many) finest moments at the end of this one...
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) September 24, 2020
I cannot tell you how unimpressed my 5 year old is that we’re stopping Go Jetters for this. https://t.co/LzS6PCbljn
— Margaret Cabourn-Smith (@MCabournSmith) September 24, 2020
I think I might tweet along with the repeat of Souvenir Programme on Radio 4 in 20 minutes, like I did with the Cabin Pressure repeats. I'll do it in replies to this tweet. (Whether any of @edmorrish, @quinlan_carrie, @slepkane or @MCabournSmith will join in, I couldn't say)
