Preamble

Some movies deserve very badly to be made - but sadly, would be made very badly. Most of the movies I write seem to end up very badly, but I present one here as a matter of record. Please see my homesite for more of my weak movie ideas.

Plot

The film starts with the collapse of the World Trade Centre, in September 2001. People are screaming. The world is in panic.

Cut to: the BBC. A group of television analysts is worried about the UK's morale. They decide to make a special edition of Terry and June to cheer everyone up. June Whitfield is up for it, but Terry Scott is, alas, dead. One of the executives has a bright idea.

Cut to: detailed information on how the BBC use CGI technology to computer-generate Terry Scott.

Cut to: computer generated Terry Scott acting on set. A dolly grip is so moved by the acting that a single tear rolls down her cheek and drops onto the computer, short-circuiting a vital chip. Suddenly, the computer goes haywire and Terry Scott breaks out of his programming and starts killing people.

Cut to: London under siege, as a deranged Terry Scott storms through the capital unleashing terrible violence upon the people. Sky scrapers fall in a chilling echo of the start of the movie.

Cut to: the year 2052. The universe is ruled by one super-computer, all organic life is wiped out, and the ground is scorched and smoking. The camera pans up from the crushed skulls that litter the floor to show a triumphant Terry Scott sitting in a giant cybernetic throne. He cackles. Above the throne, written in latin, is the Queen's motto: "Man's folly shall be his own destruction".
