0:00:35 > 0:00:37Ensign, give me some space.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33- No!- Come on, quick wager. Ten quid.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35What do you think the case will be?

0:01:35 > 0:01:36It's always about money with you.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38You could be a score up.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40That's a Godiva short of a pony.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I have no idea what you just said,

0:01:42 > 0:01:43but, fine, I'll say...

0:01:43 > 0:01:45a crazed madman, trying to escape arrest,

0:01:50 > 0:01:51What we got, Chief?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Famous actor getting death threats.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Oh for f...- Mitch, you know about this already, of course,

0:01:56 > 0:01:57cos we spoke about it earlier,

0:01:57 > 0:01:59but to bring you up to speed, John,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02this is none other than Randall Rogers.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Oh, my God, THE Randall Rogers? Captain Steele from Future Space?!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Well, not just Captain Steele, obviously -

0:02:09 > 0:02:11he also played Steele's evil twin brother, Burton Steele,

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- in series four, episode two. - HE CHUCKLES

0:02:15 > 0:02:18I mean, you know, I've seen a couple of episodes, you know,

0:02:18 > 0:02:19I can take it or leave it.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23Yeah! You're my bestest hero ever, Captain Steele,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25and I think I love you!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Word is he walked out on the show

0:02:27 > 0:02:29when they wouldn't give him more money,

0:02:29 > 0:02:32so they had to wrap the whole thing up by using old shots

0:02:32 > 0:02:33from previous episodes.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Prepare to evacuate the ship.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38But, Captain, what about you?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I'm fine! Thanks, Nork.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- But what about our mission? - Not now, Nork! Not now!

0:02:43 > 0:02:46It's so brave of you to sacrifice yourself.

0:02:46 > 0:02:47You betcha!

0:02:47 > 0:02:48- Goodbye.- Bye.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Needless to say,

0:02:55 > 0:02:56he's made a few enemies.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58He's doing a Q&A down at the old TV studio.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Get down there and see what you can sniff out.- God, I hate actors.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- What's wrong with actors?- Oh, you know, they're all just so...

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Ooh! Oh!

0:03:06 > 0:03:09HE MAKES A SLURPING NOISE

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Ooh, I'm a French king.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14You know, weird people.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Listen, boys,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22I got a bad feeling about this case.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Something happened to me a long time ago...

0:03:25 > 0:03:29and I ain't fired my gun in over 20 years.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30(Bloody hell.)

0:03:30 > 0:03:33It was one of them unforgiving nights,

0:03:33 > 0:03:37where the cold ran through your bones like a blade through butter.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- DOOR CLOSES - And that's when I...

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Aw, goddamnit!

0:03:46 > 0:03:50Now in order to operate the body beamer effect,

0:03:50 > 0:03:54a fully-qualified member of the special effects department

0:03:54 > 0:03:56would pull on this lever,

0:03:56 > 0:04:02thus depositing the human/non-human through the trapdoor, like so.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07Obviously, teleportation technology doesn't actually exist,

0:04:07 > 0:04:11at least that's what the government wants us to believe.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13THEY LAUGH

0:04:15 > 0:04:16Back in a bit.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Well, this is shit. - Yeah, tell me about it.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24What a bunch of nerds.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Ensign Skylord!

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Hi, Martin.- "Martin"?

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Who's this "Martin" of whom you speak?!

0:04:38 > 0:04:42A thousand dagons to you, Lieutenant Volklar.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44I missed you at the last convention.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46I trust you've read my latest work?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Future Space: How It Should Have Ended.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Sooner?- Where Captain Steele actually finds the eye of the universe,

0:04:53 > 0:04:55so it has, like, a...

0:04:55 > 0:04:56BOTH: ..proper ending!

0:04:58 > 0:05:00If you'll excuse me, Ensign Skylord.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03Citizen of Earth.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Greetings, Future Alliance officers!

0:05:14 > 0:05:19Please give a warm, thousand dagons to everyone's favourite No 2,

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Commander Nork! Earth name, Charles Leatherby!

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- WEAK APPLAUSE - Thank you. Thank you, adoring fans.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- OK, fire at will! - HE LAUGHS

0:05:35 > 0:05:38In the episode Cosmic Karma,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41how could Nork be in two places at once?

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Erm, because...

0:05:42 > 0:05:44it's not real. Next.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Yeah, I've got a question. In series eight, episode one,

0:05:48 > 0:05:50why does Nork claim to have never visited Targon 4

0:05:50 > 0:05:53when he clearly has in three other episodes?

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Yeah, well, it's a TV show. Next.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57How did Nork survive the halogen explosion on Nebula 5?

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Yeah, yeah, it's all made up. Next.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Do you hate Randall Rogers?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Hate is a very strong word,

0:06:04 > 0:06:05but...

0:06:05 > 0:06:07yes.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Right, there's my invoice.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Oh, OK... Thank you, Commander Nork!

0:06:15 > 0:06:19Zach, I need you to check out a file on Charles Leatherby.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22He could be a suspect.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Can it also be put on file Mahogany is a massive nerd?

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Now, make more noise than a Shegon mating ritual...

0:06:30 > 0:06:35- HE CHUCKLES - ..for the one and only Captain Steele!

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Earth name, Randall Rogers!

0:06:39 > 0:06:41'If kissing a beautiful alien

0:06:41 > 0:06:43'is the price you pay for being a hero,

0:06:43 > 0:06:44'then do you take a cheque?'

0:06:44 > 0:06:46HE MOUTHS

0:06:46 > 0:06:49'I'm sorry, I thought you said Venus.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53'That's got to be the biggest black hole I've ever seen.'

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- He's not here! - GASPING

0:07:00 > 0:07:02To Captain Steele's dressing room!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07I can't believe I'm going to actually meet Captain Steele.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Got to make a good impression.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16There was no answer.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25- I think this is the place.- Wow!

0:07:25 > 0:07:30Take whatever you want, just please don't damage my face!

0:07:30 > 0:07:33No, Mr Rogers, sir, it's... We're police officers,

0:07:33 > 0:07:36it's John Mahogany and Mitch Rust, JCPD.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- You're cops?!- That's right.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Good thing you told me.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42I was about to break out the old...

0:07:42 > 0:07:43knuckle brothers.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Hi. Randall Rogers.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Were you hiding behind the sofa?

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Erm, you may think I was huddling in fear.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02I was securing myself to protect any intruder from me.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06THESE hands are registered weapons.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10I once punched a man in half.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12(I didn't know that was possible!)

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Drink?- Oh, yes, please.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Thanks, Dad... Rog...

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Cheers.- Do you want to tell us about the death threats?

0:08:20 > 0:08:22It took me a while to notice what they were,

0:08:22 > 0:08:24as I'm incredibly rich and famous,

0:08:24 > 0:08:27so I don't usually do things like open letters.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- How'd you become so rich? - It's simple.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31If you want to be insanely rich,

0:08:31 > 0:08:34you just got to be an actor.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's guaranteed.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39'If you want to be insanely rich, you just got to be an actor.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41'..insanely rich... ..got to be an actor...

0:08:41 > 0:08:44'..be an actor. ..be an actor. It's guaranteed.'

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Plus, when you get famous,

0:08:45 > 0:08:48they give you a special number that you call

0:08:48 > 0:08:50and somebody brings pizza to you.

0:08:50 > 0:08:55You give them some money and they just give you a pizza!

0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Whoa... - Isn't that just pizza delivery?

0:08:57 > 0:09:00And there's another number that you call

0:09:00 > 0:09:02and somebody comes over in a car.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05You give him some money and he'll take you anywhere!

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Amazing. - That's a taxi. I could do that.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Sure you can, champ.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17Mr Rogers, for your own protection, we'd like to take you down to JCPD.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Perhaps you'd like to change into something a bit more, erm...

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Ah!

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Say no more.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29I mean, he's not quite what I expected.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31The KEY...

0:09:31 > 0:09:33to a...

0:09:33 > 0:09:35HE LAUGHS LOUDLY

0:09:35 > 0:09:37..remarkable acting performance

0:09:37 > 0:09:41is to do so-o-o much...

0:09:41 > 0:09:43with your face...

0:09:43 > 0:09:46and your BO-DY!

0:09:46 > 0:09:50And pause...a lot.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Because, you see...

0:09:52 > 0:09:55acting is...

0:09:55 > 0:09:56- SOFTLY:- ..distracting.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Wow. Randall Rogers is truly a great actor.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Yes. Although, if he was my hero figure from childhood,

0:10:11 > 0:10:14I would be very disappointed with him.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17You two! This ain't Saturday night at the movies!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Get your asses over here, we've got something!

0:10:20 > 0:10:22'Chief!'

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I think you're going to want to see this, boys,

0:10:25 > 0:10:26Cirque du Soleil.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Justice City Times called it "Spellbinding. 5 stars."

0:10:29 > 0:10:31But that's not what I called you over for.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I checked up on Leatherby.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Turns out Randall quitting the show ruined his career,

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- so they ain't exactly bosom buddies. - Yeah, everyone knows that.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40But here's where it gets interesting,

0:10:40 > 0:10:44he's also the chairman of a Randall Rogers-themed organisation.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50Though that could be a good or a bad thing.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Nevertheless, I think we ought to bring him in,

0:10:52 > 0:10:54give him the third degree.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56An educated man.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Now, listen, boys, sure, this might seem all so simple.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04Sure, it might seem like an open-and-shut case.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06But let me tell you a story,

0:11:06 > 0:11:12a story that's led to me not firing my gun in over 20 years...

0:11:12 > 0:11:15It all started when I was back in the academy...

0:11:15 > 0:11:19DOOR CLOSES

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Oh, come on now!

0:11:21 > 0:11:23It's a good story! Goddammit!

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- How's it looking, Helga? - They've used all the usual tricks -

0:11:30 > 0:11:32anonymously sourced letters,

0:11:32 > 0:11:33plain, unmarked paper,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35the adhesive is either Pritt Stick or Uhu.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36At this point we...

0:11:36 > 0:11:37cannot be certain.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41Unfortunately, they are practically untraceable.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- How is the spaceman? - Yeah, fine, I suppose.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45Let me guess,

0:11:45 > 0:11:46you hoped to meet your hero,

0:11:46 > 0:11:49instead you met a shallow, materialistic actor.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Well, yeah. How did you know?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Never meet your heroes, John.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56When I met The Gothenburg Strangler,

0:11:56 > 0:11:59he did not even sign my autopsy photos.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00I was extremely displeased.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Captain Steele was just this great, honourable guy.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07Randall's just...

0:12:07 > 0:12:09- He's just a tool.- John...

0:12:09 > 0:12:11And not just a tool - he's arrogant, he's a coward...

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- John...- I mean, what does he think he looks like?

0:12:14 > 0:12:16That wig isn't fooling anyone! He's behind me, isn't he?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18No.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Why would you think that?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I was trying to get your attention.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25- I think I've found something.- Oh.

0:12:25 > 0:12:30"PS, I enclose a little something to show you that I'm serious."

0:12:38 > 0:12:40But he hasn't kidnapped anyone.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42So whose is the finger?

0:12:45 > 0:12:49"PPS, I realise now that cutting off my own finger

0:12:49 > 0:12:51"was poorly judged,

0:12:51 > 0:12:52"but do not make the mistake

0:12:52 > 0:12:55"of thinking I am any less dangerous without it."

0:12:55 > 0:12:59I think it's about time we spoke to one Charles Leatherby.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01If he's got nine fingers...

0:13:01 > 0:13:04we've got him.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Also, there is a birthday card going around, it is for Richard.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, it's Richard's birthday?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12I never know what to write in these things.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14"Happy Birthday, Richard."

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Yeah.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19And the beauty is, you slip them a few dollars

0:13:19 > 0:13:21and they cut your hair for you.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Unbelievable. - Oh, it's the high life all right.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32Real actors don't need chairs.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34I want to be an actor, make loads of cash.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36How much should I charge per acting?

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Well, that depends,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40- what kind of acting do you want to do?- The expensive sort.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44OK, show me what you've got.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Let's act.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52That's got to be...

0:13:52 > 0:13:56the finest celestial body...

0:13:56 > 0:13:58I've ever seen.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59OK, your turn.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07HIGH PITCHED: That's got to be the finest celestial body I've ever seen.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13What do you think? Bit high?

0:14:13 > 0:14:17Yeah, maybe. Try a little lower.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22HIGH PITCHED: I love your ancestral body.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25It's the best thing I've seen...(today).

0:14:28 > 0:14:2950 quid.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31You'd better sit down.

0:14:31 > 0:14:36Look, Rusty, there's no easy way of saying this.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38You've got the yips.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- What?- The acting yips.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44It's a mental thing that actors can get,

0:14:44 > 0:14:47and I'm afraid you're riddled with them, buddy.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Everything all right?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I thought I heard a small girl trapped down a well.

0:14:51 > 0:14:52I've got the acting yips.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Isn't that something you get after years as a professional?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Oh, the yips can strike at any time.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Unfortunately for Rusty, it was right at the beginning.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Or he's just a bit rubbish. - It's the yips, mate, yeah?!

0:15:04 > 0:15:06I know what will cheer you up.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10More tales of my amazing life as a rich actor and how great I am.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Zach, take a seat.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Rusty, lotion my back.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20It's just a few questions, Mr Leatherby.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22This is preposterous.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Yes, Randall is an imbecile,

0:15:24 > 0:15:28but I am a highly-respected actor, for God's sake.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Death threats? Honestly!

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Are you sure we can't get you a chair?

0:15:33 > 0:15:34I'm an actor.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I haven't sat in an actual chair for 30 years.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Look, can we hurry this along please?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41I'm an extremely busy man.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Had yourself an accident there, Mr Leatherby?

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Oh, this here? It's an acting injury.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Mine is a perilous profession.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54So, if you didn't send the death threats,

0:15:54 > 0:15:58then, tell me,

0:15:58 > 0:16:02- what do you do when you get the acting yips?- What?

0:16:02 > 0:16:03The yips?

0:16:03 > 0:16:07The acting yips is a cruel and unforgiving affliction

0:16:07 > 0:16:09which blights our kind.

0:16:09 > 0:16:14The only sure way of being rid of the yips is to take one's moment.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Interesting.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Every true actor knows when his moment presents itself.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22When he is called upon to give the performance of his life.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Until then, we just have to...

0:16:24 > 0:16:26What do you think you're doing?

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Ah.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29It's an acting injury.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31I told you already, all right?

0:16:31 > 0:16:34- I got a paper cut at a script reading.- A paper cut?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Yes, a paper cut. Script paper is some of the sharpest paper there is!

0:16:37 > 0:16:40I bet you think that's funny in there, don't you?

0:16:40 > 0:16:41In your secret little room!

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Well, I've never been one to disappoint an audience.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45Reveal yourself!

0:16:45 > 0:16:47REVEAL YOURSELF!

0:16:47 > 0:16:48REVEAL YOURSELF!

0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Why did you do that? - Well, I thought...

0:16:58 > 0:17:02No, you're going to have to pay for that.

0:17:02 > 0:17:03Oh for f...

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Fingers, he's got all ten of them. It's not him.

0:17:06 > 0:17:07Fuck.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10But if it ain't Leatherby, then who the hell is it?!

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- RANDALL:- And don't even get me started on my third wife.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Rogers!

0:17:17 > 0:17:18Leatherby!

0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Hey, hey, hey! Walk away. Walk away!- Have a fight.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25You never could handle me being the star, could you, Charlie boy?

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Poppycock! Let's settle this, right now.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Let 'em blow it off, John, let 'em blow it off.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33I'll show you how a REAL actor fights.

0:17:33 > 0:17:34RANDALL LAUGHS

0:17:34 > 0:17:37THEY GRUNT

0:17:40 > 0:17:41What are they doing?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43They're not even hitting each other.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44No, too big.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48- CHIEF:- Stage combat, Mitch.

0:17:48 > 0:17:53They say these two are amongst the finest stage fighters in the world.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Ow! Wh...?

0:17:59 > 0:18:00You broke the code...

0:18:00 > 0:18:02No, please, it was an accident!

0:18:02 > 0:18:05You know the code, Randall - you never touch the face.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07I will now take my free hit.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19Yeah, keep walking, Leatherby. Keep walking!

0:18:21 > 0:18:24He's definitely restrained, right?

0:18:25 > 0:18:30Sorry, John boy, but you did step into an arena of conflict.

0:18:33 > 0:18:40# Where, where is my hero?

0:18:40 > 0:18:44# Where, where is my hero? #

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Brace for impact!

0:18:46 > 0:18:49# There was a man I thought I knew

0:18:49 > 0:18:52# So brave, so strong and courageous

0:18:52 > 0:18:54# Now, he only takes about being rich

0:18:54 > 0:18:57# It's like him and his evil twin brother, Ben Steele,

0:18:57 > 0:18:59# Have been switched

0:18:59 > 0:19:00# I want to be an actor

0:19:00 > 0:19:04# So I have loads of money and stuff

0:19:04 > 0:19:08# But they say I've got the yips Which has left me proper cheesed

0:19:08 > 0:19:11# I think I fancy chips and maybe mushy peas

0:19:11 > 0:19:13# Just want to tell you my story

0:19:13 > 0:19:15# About how I ain't fired my gun in over 20 year...

0:19:15 > 0:19:21- # Where, where is my hero? # - What? Oh, come on! Goddammit!

0:19:21 > 0:19:26# Where? Ow, my finger just shut in the locker

0:19:28 > 0:19:30# Where, where, where, where, where

0:19:30 > 0:19:32# Where's the first aid kit? #

0:19:39 > 0:19:41- John?- Hey, Dad.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Oh, God, here we go.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44Go on, what's the matter?

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Did you ever think that someone was going to be great,

0:19:47 > 0:19:50but in reality, they were just a huge disappointment?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Try not to look at yourself as a huge disappointment, son,

0:19:53 > 0:19:56- more as a mild failure. - NOT ME, DAD!

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Oh, right.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00I just wanted him to be like Captain Steele, you know -

0:20:00 > 0:20:02courageous, brave.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04But he just turned out to be a dick.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Son, listen.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09It doesn't matter that he's not like the bloke in Space Wars.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Future Space, Dad! How many times!

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Yeah. Right.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Look, the point is, you've got to walk your own path,

0:20:16 > 0:20:19write your own story and all that bullshit.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21You know, be your own bloody hero.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I know Dad, I'm trying real bad.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26ECHO: Write your own story and all that bullshit.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Write your own story and all that bullshit.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Write your own story and all that bullshit.

0:20:31 > 0:20:32I trust you've read my latest work?

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Future Space, how it should have ended.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37- ECHO:- How it should have ended. How it should have ended...

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Should have ended...

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Oh, shit. That's it! Love you, Dad.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Chief, Mitch, I've got it!

0:20:43 > 0:20:46I know who wrote the...

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Oh, he's already here.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49That's great.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Now it's time to give Future Space AND Randall Rogers

0:20:53 > 0:20:55the ending they deserve.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57HE GIGGLES MANIACALLY

0:20:57 > 0:21:01And if anybody tries to follow me, then I'll...

0:21:01 > 0:21:03What?

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Sorry?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07You said, "If anyone tries to follow you then",

0:21:07 > 0:21:09and then you left before we could hear the rest.

0:21:09 > 0:21:10Oh, yeah. Sorry..

0:21:10 > 0:21:12What I said was if anybody tries to follow me,

0:21:12 > 0:21:14then I'll detonate this bomb.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Thought it'd be something like that.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Goddammit, he's going to kill 'em!

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Don't worry, Chief.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23I know exactly where they're headed...

0:21:25 > 0:21:27..and I'll be damned if I'm going to let them die.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Did everybody sign Richard's card?

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Greetings, Citizens of Earth.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44Today, we will make television history.

0:21:44 > 0:21:51First, we shall film the proper ending of the Future Space saga.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Then, Randall Rogers will die

0:21:53 > 0:21:56live on television.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Er, that is for several reasons,

0:21:58 > 0:22:01because of inconsistencies throughout the show...

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Well, well, well.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06Randall Rogers finally gets his just desserts.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Have you nothing to say?

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Your head looks like a dick.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12..you've ruined it and you've ruined my life.

0:22:12 > 0:22:17Now if you look in front of you, you shall find the professional

0:22:17 > 0:22:20standard script expertly written by me.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22SHE LAUGHS

0:22:22 > 0:22:25We're live in five seconds, so just remember - enjoy it, relax,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28don't get it wrong or I'll blow us all up.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30ACTION!

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Captain, we are

0:22:31 > 0:22:35mere moments away from discovering the Eye of the Universe...

0:22:37 > 0:22:39- HE WHISPERS:- Mitch.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Mitch ,I've got a plan. I'm going to need you to act.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43What?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Nah. I can't, mate. I've got the yips.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Forget the yips.

0:22:47 > 0:22:51We need a distraction and acting is distracting.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53I can't act!

0:22:53 > 0:22:57MITCH! Remember what Leatherby said - every actor gets one moment.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Well, this is your moment.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02What's the money like?

0:23:02 > 0:23:04There's no bloody money!

0:23:04 > 0:23:06All right, all right, I'll do it. When's my fitting?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Right now.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21Why are you wearing one?

0:23:21 > 0:23:23What? Oh, I don't know.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24I just got excited.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30It would not have worked from the eye of a cyborg.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Point 54...

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Wait!

0:23:36 > 0:23:39I have something to say!

0:23:39 > 0:23:41If you all just

0:23:41 > 0:23:43look at me!

0:23:43 > 0:23:46You see, space man, captain,

0:23:46 > 0:23:48we have a problem...

0:23:48 > 0:23:50HE WHEEZES

0:23:50 > 0:23:52.. with the space ship.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56It is bollocksed.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59His dialogue's awful, but his acting's captivating.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04We might never make it to the moon unless we find a different way -

0:24:04 > 0:24:07a space car or

0:24:07 > 0:24:09planet bike.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12So if this is it, and we're going to die,

0:24:12 > 0:24:15snuff it,

0:24:15 > 0:24:18then hold your head up high...

0:24:19 > 0:24:21..and be proud...

0:24:24 > 0:24:27I did it, mate. I got rid of the yips.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Thanks, Mitch.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Ensign Skylord!

0:24:35 > 0:24:39So...you thought you could ruin my episode?

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Well, now, it's going to end with a bang.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45BEEPING

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Real original, Martin.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55Trying to blow up the ship with a bomb strapped to you,

0:24:55 > 0:24:57exactly the same way Steele tried to blow up

0:24:57 > 0:25:00the Targan Nebular in series eight, episode nine.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05Ha! Actually, I think you'll find it was series nine, episode eight.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08I think you'll find, I know a bit more about Future Space than you.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12Er, firstly the Targans weren't introduced until series nine,

0:25:12 > 0:25:14episode two, so it's not conceivable for that be in series eight!

0:25:14 > 0:25:18Mitch, the lever! Pull the lever!

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Give me some space.

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Brace for impact!

0:25:23 > 0:25:26EXPLOSION

0:25:26 > 0:25:30RUMBLING

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Damage report. Check those shields and thrusters.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44As your Captain now, I...

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Is everyone OK?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Yeah, I got him right here. He's our man all right.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Hey kid, you got an agent?

0:25:55 > 0:25:57- No.- Want to be rich beyond your wildest dreams?

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Yes, please.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Great, cos I got a part you were just born to play.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03You're going to be a star, I tell ya!

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Providing you don't get the yips.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07HE LAUGHS

0:26:12 > 0:26:16What are your orders, Captain? The enemy is attacking.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21HIGH-PITCHED: Fire the Voltazers.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Raise the shields, please.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Go to Red Alert. Thank you.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34I'm sorry your series was cancelled after one episode, mate.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Yeah, well, I think it was the script, to be honest.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41So, John boy, how'd you like your present?

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Now you too can live the high life of an actor.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's, literally, a pizza menu.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48It's the least I could do for saving my life

0:26:48 > 0:26:54and for being everything Captain Steele should be.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Minus the looks and libido, of course.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58He's got a gun!

0:26:58 > 0:26:59GASPS

0:26:59 > 0:27:03I'm sorry old chap, I just hate you too much not to shoot you.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Goodbye, Rogers.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07GUNSHOT

0:27:15 > 0:27:17GUNSHOTS

0:27:17 > 0:27:18Everyone, get down!

0:27:18 > 0:27:19Hold up, I've got this.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Jesus Christ, Chief!

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Just give me a second to line this up here.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Stop, Chief!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Put the gun down!

0:27:29 > 0:27:32So much blood, Chief!

0:27:35 > 0:27:37GROANING

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Still got it.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Chief,

0:27:46 > 0:27:47you're a terrible shot.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50What do you expect? I ain't fired it in over 20 years!

0:27:50 > 0:27:53LAUGHTER

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Chief just shot everyone.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00We should call an ambulance.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06You know, it's funny, this reminds me of a really great story.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07It all started when I...
