The BBC has announced financial restructuring to allow its top stars to have more ready access to the cream. This will be realised in professional seat sitter Richard Osman being send swathes of the licence fee on direct debit.


'I'm thrilled,' Osman grinned. 'Before this decision, I had to make up a gameshow that paid celebrities appearance fees to play games the public would play for free. Receiving a large amount of public money to turn a profit and banking the goodwill and business connections of all those celebrities took ages.'


'I'll use the money to fund a gameshow where everyone sits at writing desks and the best ideas of each person will be incorporated into my next book,' Osman smirked. "Soon to be adapted by the BBC of course.'


Osman then left the interview saying he had to visit the bank, he couldn't stop laughing.

After months of writing inactivity, Hollywood producers are coming in to work to find piles of scripts on their desks, with the vast majority about how the writers of America won a valiant battle against the producers.

In an unsurprising plot twist the strike has ended with the writers defeating Darth Vadar, escaping the Shawshank Prison and finding the lost Ark of the Covenant. Audiences claimed the resolution all seemed a bit implausible, yet the writers argued it could not be worse than the last season of Game of Thrones.


The strike itself, threatened to be as long as Avatar. Explained one author: 'It was a heart-warming story of boy meets girl, boy forms a trade union, while girl says something irrelevant about equal pay.'


It is still be seen if writers will ever use vowels ever again. Plus, there is still the threat of AI staff, although all their scripts end with Sarah Connor dying. Whereas this final agreement has a sled tossed into a fireplace with the phrase “streaming residuals” marked on it.
