I have asked my brother to suggest 5 comedies to sneak quotes into the review from; this will make the writing of this post more improvisational. The only rules are they have to be comedies and they have to be scripted. This can be a play, a book, a movie, or a tv show. His selections:

• Brooklyn 99
• Big Bang Theory 
• Miranda 
• Johnny English
• Life of Brian 

I won't highlight where these are in the post; you'll have to search for them.

He also said to make it more 'commissioned' (my word not his), I should also incorporate somehow:

The top job advertised on a random job website 

One front page item from a random news website

I used Indeed.com (Jobs in Lichfield) and BBC News. 

The results were 

Night Operations Co ordinator - Lichfield WS13 8NQ - Indeed.com

(I haven't chosen the news item yet but there will be several references to the World Cup)
