J3PO
It was a good idea of yours to steal this shuttle craft using Atoo
as a pawn to
confuse the traffic wardens and keep them occupied while I hot-wired
this thing.
Jim
Yes.
J3PO
And that plan of yours to give the Imperial guard a run for
their money by slingshotting around that lamp-post so
that they ran into each other and knocked themselves out.
Jim
Yes, it was good, wasn't it...
J3PO
Shame Atoo had to die horribly like that.

But, Stan! We can't go through! Your chin!

We shall just have to turn it off...

It's more than just Luxembourg... Mitch,
there's something I've been meaning to tell you...

Not the dressing up in my underwear thing?
It's all right, I know all about that...

No, it's not that... It's my chin... It's not just Luxembourg

No!...

Yes! It's the entire European Union.

Noooooooooooooooooo!

Be brave, Mitch. Be brave!

So that giant killer mouse...?
Stan
Not giant at all...
Mitch
You bastard, Stan!
Stan
Why should size matter?
Mitch
It matters a lot to me...
John
It's not the size of the wand, It's the wizard that waves it.
Mitch
No it isn't... And anyway, what's wands got to do with it.

What should it matter anyway? I'm switching it off!

You're not after the crystal too are you?
Jane
Well, er...
Bond
Actually, yes.
Jane
Why, are YOU?
Stan
Well we can't all go after the crystal...
Mitch
Why?
Stan
Only one crystal; five of us.
Bond
We could rotate it maybe. I'll have
it one week, Jane has it the next...
Jane
No, it'd never work... There is another who desires the crystal...
John
Well why do people want the crystal?
Stan
I believe that it contains a jet effigy of Humphrey Bogart.
Bond
No, it contains top secret microfilm concerning british nuclear
submarine
manouvers and the plans for a new kind of radar-invisible pedalo.
Mitch
It's pretty, that's why I seek it.
Jane
I need it to stay a god.
John
Well, I need it to pay off my debters.
Jane
Hmmm. Well, I think out of all of us, my needs are greater.
Mitch
Perhaps.
John
And then, I could have it and sell it on to the British government.
Bond
I think that could be sorted out. Then I can arrange to
have the effigy removed before the government get it.
Stan
Brilliant. That's all sorted then.
Mitch
Hold on! Wait! Where do I come in?!
Bond
Well maybe you could buy it off the government.
Mitch
Can't John just sell on the microfilm, and give Stan the effigy
and me the crystal?
Bond
Hmm... worth a try.
John
It should cover my debts...
Jane
I think we should find it first though.
Stan
Well thought out. This way!

she girates on the floor.
Suddenly, the centre of her habbit rises up like a fist in a T-Shirt,
and thrusting out amongst much fatal blood-splatter is a tiny plastic
alien
which is then dragged across the floor on a string to disappear around
the corner and into the corridor.
J3PO
Oh fucking hell...
Hannah
Told you she was a nasty piece of work, didn't I?!, Eh?!
Jim
Shut up.
J3PO collapses to the floor as the solder on his knees gives way. He then limps into the corridor after Jim.
INT - PRISON CORRIDOR / MEDIUM SIZED ROOM WITH MAN-HOLE
Jim
I wonder where it went...
J3PO
I don't think I want to know.
There is a sudden movement in the distance. J3PO shakes in terror.
A man-hole cover opens and up comes the head
of Rod, who then yanks up Stew, Leon and Alex.
Side note - Jim and Rod never get closer than three yards apart during
this episode.
Jim
Stew! Leon! Alex!
Stew, Leon and Alex
Jim!
Jim
What are you doing here?
Stew
We found the secret tunnel.
Leon
But the dog and the cow got stuck.
Stew
Well the cow did.
Leon
The dog was behind the cow...
Jim
Who's this?
Alex

Jim
No, Alex, I haven't seen the crystal of enderon... Sorry.
Alex

Jim
Very kind of you.
Leon
If only there was some way of locating the crystal...
Omra

<echo>
Use the crystal detector setting on your bike-pump, Jim...
Jim
Zowie! I'll use the crystal detector setting on my bike-pump!
Rod
Great plan!
Jim
Thankyou. I owe it all to my mentor, Omra.
Omra
<voice over>
Smarmy bastard...
A-Ha
Oh oh-a-oh...
Jim
NO!
Morten
Sorry...
Jim
Not good enough.
Morten
Oh!
Jim
No... You've said sorry once too often...
Morten
But you can't...
Jim
Kill you? No. No. We've been too hard on you, I suppose. When
people actually said A-Ha, and you came along, you'd just be shunned.
So, I think, as it's Christmas, we'll let you sing just one
song for us.
A-Ha
Oh! Goody goody goody!
Jim
But don't go doing it again, d'you hear?
A-Ha
<half-heartedly>
Yeah...
Jim
Do you hear?
A-Ha
Yes.
Jim
So what will you be singing for us?
Morten
Well, tonight, Jim, we're going to be singing
In the Meantime by un-popular Leeds band Spacehog.
Jim
Okay, normally A-Ha, an expired band from
Norway, but for tonight they're Spacehog!!!
Telephone ad music.
Guitar riff.
A-Ha
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh... x3
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh...
Morten
And in the end we shall achieve in time
The thing we call devine
An' all the stars will shine for me
An' all that's well and we'll is for all for all
An' forever after
An' baby in the meantime wait and see.
An' life eeyore eeyore for you

An' after all we're just like you
Eeop pee or for you.
An' when I cry for me, I cry for you
With tears of holy joy
For all the days are still to come

Much applause...
Jim
But what are we going to do now?
Stew
What do you mean?
Jim
I mean, there's an alien running around this Prison Planet...
Stew
Is there?
J3PO
Actually, from my commmunications with the Prison
Computer, I'd say that the entire prison inmates,
excluding ourselves, have given birth to little aliens.
Hannah
I haven't.
J3PO
Yet...
Hannah
I've not been impregnated!
Jim
That's half your trouble...
J3PO
Who can say? Maybe you are to be the proud
mother of a latex puppet soon... Maybe not.
Rod
Russian Roulette...
Leon
Well I think we should just kill her.
Sarah
(Sigourney Weaver)
No. She comes with us...
Reveal a tough looking woman (this SARAH person) with a bad perm, dressed in overalls.
Jim
Who... What...?
Sarah
I'm Sarah, the prison chief. We've got to kick
these aliens before they eat the shit out of us!
Jim
Oh. Right. You experienced then?
Sarah
Yes.
Jim
Good.
Stew
So what's going on?
Sarah
The prison's being used as a breeding ground for aliens.
Jim
So there's a lot of them about?
Sarah
Yes. But we're safe at the moment...
Jim
Safe?
Sarah
From half seven till two they usually congregate
in the recreation hall for their daily disco.
Stew
Disco dancing aliens?!
Sarah
Yep. They're actually quite mellow these
days, but they don't like humans.
Stew
Ah... in't that sweet...
Jim
Is there any way we can escape without
getting at least half of the cast wiped out?
Sarah
Well there's the secret tunnel...
Rod
Er, well, it's sort of blocked up by a cow.
Sarah
Oh.
Alex
Mmrmmh.
Sarah
Well, you could dress up as different
breeds of alien and do a deal with them...
Stew
That'd work?
Sarah
It's worth a try.
Jim
What sort of deal?
Sarah
They're very partial to crystals.
Jim
So if we find the Crystal of Enderon...
then Rod can stay a god...
Stew
Hey, that rhymes...
Jim
And we can secure our freedom from the aliens!
Stew
If we get the crystal for his holiness, Rod,
Then we can make sure that he keeps being a god,
And we can do deals with the alien creatures,
And then go back home and become student teachers!
Leon
Right. I'm going to kill you now.
Jim
No. Great as the temptation might be, we've no time
for that now. We MUST find the Crystal of Enderon.
Omra
<voice over>
Use the Crystal Detector...
Jim
I'll use the crystal detector.
The bike-pump blips a lot and they walk off behind Jim...

question: What's a french person look like? That's what people
have been doing since the dawn of time... Is this a telly
I see

television is there, but is it really...? or is it just a

The crystal is at the centre of the great room,
on a pedestal (not the room, the crystal), and before it, cross-legged,
sits babyS.
Jane enters:

spaceship docking in the carpark of the Travellers PH...
Lots of dust and retro-rocket dry ice.
Tumbleweeds...
The ship's door comes down, and the landing party get out, and head
into the pub. The party are: Carl, Anna, Elsie, Midge and Ivy.
INT - TRAVELLERS' REST - NIGHT
They lean against the bar.
DALE WINTON serves them.
At the bar stands DEATH (Bob Holness), in a black cowl.
Death
Ey up, young uns.
Carl
Ah, hello, sir... Do you know where Santana is?
Death
I have not seen him in these parts for twenty years.
Carl
Oh. Well in that case, we best be off...
Death
No. Stay a while, the party is yet young.
Pull out to reveal a Christmas atmosphere: TWO OR THREE YOUNG
COUPLES
in corners, OLD MEN playing dominoes, and a CROWD OF STUDENTS playing
agrophobia-friendly
pool with two-foot cues. On the telly is Jools Holland's Hootananny.
Each
patron sups steadily from their pint of Rockin' Rudolf.
The fruit machine's bonus light has the `n' missing, and not all the
lights in the flashing row up the left hand side work properly either.
All the other lights seem fine.
There are old footy programmes on the walls, but the 66 World Cup Final
programme is missing...
Carl
Wow! What a swinging do! Barman!
Dale
Yes?
Carl
Uncork this fine vintage... brewed by my great grandfather...
Dale
Chateaux Chapman? Ah... 1996, a fine year... Pets win Prizes,
Dales Sweep... oh... now where am I? Serving drinks to Bob
Holness's brother... It's the lowest point of my career...
Death toasts him (with his glass). Mix back to the other scene...

Babys
Well two rounds down with four contestents remaining, Laura?
Laura
And they are Jane of Algor, a goddess from Sweden, Rod of Magor,
a
god from Norway, Morten
Harket, a pop singer, also from Norway, and
J3PO, a robot from the Tyrell corporation. And of the four
remaining contestants, only two still have their three lives intact.
Meanwhile, skulking in the dark...
Jim
Thank god that's over...
Stew
Yup. Hey... Why don't we swipe the crystal
while they're all engrossed in the game!?!
Jim
Because it's naughty and dishonest?
Leon
Fuck that.
He grabs the crystal, and the six knocked out contestants make a dash for it...
They dash to half a page down...
INT - TRAVELLERS' REST - NIGHT
Observe Midge and Ivy playing pool, while Anna, Elsie and Carl play
twister... Death sits comatosed by the door, with a blanket over his
head.
Suddenly he comes round, and we see he has green pen on his face. He
heads into the pub.
Death
Who's been playing with my scythe?!
Everybody looks at each other nonchelantly.
Death
Come on, one of you has.
He then staggers into an unconscious heap.
Mix to Stew, Jim, Leon, Alex and Sarah in a ventilation shaft.

Sarah
Wait!

Jim
Exactly. So what are we missing.
Sarah
That Hannah.
Stew
Oh, that miserable moaning cow... who gives a fuck?
Leon
We could've used her as alien fodder.
Stew
Oh yeah!
Jim
She was one of only two mortal women we know...
Stew
Good point. That Jane might be mortal soon, mind...
Jim
Hmm... Still...
Stew
Ah...
Jim
Perhaps we should find her.
Leon
Well I think we should head on.
Stew
Yeah, we should really get on with this plan of yours, Jim...
Jim
Oh... well, then we'll look for her.

Dale is pissed, and trying to chat up Captain Carl. The rest of the
crew are playing dominoes.
Death is being used as a table. Carl is trying to watch Jools Holland
on the telly.
Dale
It's not easy, you know...
Carl
Hmm...
Dale
Check it out, check it out... it's hell...
but it payed well... And I loved it...
Carl
Yes, yes...
Dale

Carl

INT - DARK BEDROOM - NIGHT
Hannah, with a torch... lost...
Hannah
Hello? Hello! Is there anybody there?! Sarah?! Jim!
She hears a noise in a wardrobe.
Naturally, she opens the wardrobe. Tension music.
Inside are Elton John's clothes.
She shuts the wardrobe quick. Fast heartbeat. She runs.
Scuffling from under a nearby bed. She looks under. Very tense music...
Nothing, except a small mouse...
The mouse squeaks and scurries off. The mouse was eating something.
Hannah picks up the debris. It appears to be an old and tatty vaselined
swimming cap.
She throws it away in disgust.
Very tense music
She opens her purse to get a tissue, to wipe off the gunk... But there
inside... is an ALIEN!!!
It leaps out, and stands at 10ft. It grins, and chicken fat drips from
it... Hannah screams.
The alien opens it's mouth revealing a second row of shimmering silver
teeth.
Fade to black.
Run credits...
