As a preview-type "taster", here's the first page of the script.

SCENE ONE: (PRE -TITLES). EXHIBITION HALL.

(SFX: A ROWDY ROUND OF APPLAUSE, WHOOPS, ALIEN NOISES)


GEOFFREY:
Welcome, welcome, thank you very much - you join us at the Inter-G Cruiser Show at the Sirius Exhibition Station.

(SFX: CROWD QUIETENS, STILL OCCASIONAL CHEERS AND WHOOPS)

GEOFFREY:
In today’s show Timbo the Ferret will be test-driving the new Kith Sunstorm...

TIMBO:
We’ll be deciding where it goes on the ‘funky board’.

(SFX: CROWD CHEERS AND WHOOPS ‘FUNKY BOARD! FUNKY BOARD!’)

O’REILLEY:
And I’ll be looking at the latest in quark drives!

GEOFFREY:
-and boring us all rigid. Later on we have ‘celebrity in a budget-conscious spaceship’, as Garfield Lemper feels the punishing escape velocity of the Umbriel Slipstream. So strap yourselves in, engage thrust, and prepare, for... Max Warp!
