    Potemkin is also too modern, though less so- and yes, the Karl Marx was a tie-in.

    More jokes always, but there were a few in there (the names, mostly, and the mirror imaging).

    But Ivan the Terrrible (1530-1584) fits perfectly timewise.
    And we can make Terrrible jokes about his name!
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,734Chief of Staff
    Sure, but can we find a similar joke to insert into the previous scene to keep the mirror imaging?

    ( In a cabin Sir James, is entertaining a young maiden )
    Maiden: " Sir James, I cannot findeth the words."
    Sir James:" Then did let me tryeth and enlarge thy vocabulary"
    ( suddenly an arrow strikes
    A beam above sir James's head, from the attached parchment He reads ... )
    Sir James " I'm to withdraw at once, something big has a risen "
    Maiden: " True, Sir James you are like a mighty stallion, ..... "
    Sir James: " Nay, I must away "
    Maiden: " But Sir James I needith thee "
    Sir James: " so dos't The Realm that is England !"
    ( Sir James leaves, as the maiden signals from a window to a bunch of knaves, who
    Attack Sir James but he easily dispatches them and jumps to his ship displaying a
    Large Union Jack )
    a watching Jack-Tar " Nobody dost 't better"

    Just for fun, I'm not starting anything :D


    A suggestion: (we remember RM's bright red and yellow outfit.)

    Sir James: " Nay, I must away "
    Maiden: "Not in those garishly coloured robes, I hope?"
    Sir James: "I got rid of those green trainers - will you ever stop complaining?"
    Maiden: " But Sir James I needith thee "
    Sir James: " so dos't The Realm that is England !"

    Just like in the movie the Royal Navy HQ should show off a map, and both the map and the process of unlocking it should be ridicolously extravagant.

    :D :D :D

    Lovely material, this is going to come together very nicely.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,734Chief of Staff
    I've done some edits etc, is this okay?

    Act 1, Scene 1. In a cabin Sir James ist entertaining a young maiden.
    Maiden: Sir James, I cannot findeth the words.
    Sir James: Then do let me tryeth and enlarge thy vocabulary.
    (An arrow strikes a beam above Sir James's head. He reads from the attached parchment... )
    Sir James: I must withdraw at once, something big has arisen.
    Maiden: ‘Tis true Sir James, thou art like a mighty stallion-
    Sir James: Nay, not that- I must away.
    Maiden: Not in those garishly coloured robes, I do hope?
    Sir James: I got rid of those green trainers - but verily these are mine family colours. The yellow, a sign of the bananas we doth Universally Export throughout the Realm, with the red backpack matching mine eyes the morning after six Vespers! Willt thou ever stop complaining?
    Maiden: But Sir James I needeth thee!
    Sir James: So dos't The Realm that is England !
    (Sir James departs, as the maiden signals from a window to a bunch of knaves, who attack Sir James but he easily dispatches them and jumps to his ship displaying a large Union Jack)
    A watching Jack-Tar: Nobody dost 't better.

    (Intermission. Maidens dance around a cardboard cutout of Sir Roger Moore- or mayhap the real one, ‘tis always hard to tell. A woman from across the sea sings.)

    {[] It's off and running.

    I did some research, well I looked on T'nternet and it says Skiing was only invented in 1840 ;)

    I love this, but it doesn't fit in to the mirror imaging (Sir James and XXX getting exactly the same briefing) so can we fit this in elsewhere?

    (A carriage)
    XXX: I thank'ee for yon delicious meal, Sir James.
    Sir James: I prithee, take with me a nightcap- 'tis on mine company.
    XXX: Alack, nay, for tomorrow shalt be a day of much business.
    (She enters her chambers and opens a small box of tissues. Jaws emerges)
    XXX: What the fu....
    (Jaws doth seize the lady and she screams. Enter Sir James, who doth battle with ye giant)

    Help! I'm tempted to do the Austin Powers thing, and have Sir James try to find something to overcome Jaws with, bypassing a knife, a gun, etc, till he finds something like a nailfile.
