h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello Shazz, I had an Idea for a follow-up parrody for Big Bandwaggon, namely a soap opera about people on a cruise ship/hospital/coffee house (yes, a compilation of the three) called 'Froods'. Please tell me what you think.

~George

Can a soap about a jungle hospital? It can have doctors, and nurses and chimps and tigers and small beetles that sting you and then a nurse has to come and see you but the nurse turns out to be a chimp and so you just had a fling woith a chimp and oh! the shame and you keep it to yourself, but but but the others start to suspect because the chimp is givin you the eye and realy wants to be in the same room with you istead of the mean old head surgeon Brackett, who once long ago, even befor he lost his um... pet reptile biologist Hank, had the chimp kidnapped... and so it goes on and on for ages!

whaddayasay?

Prez, take deep breaths and cut down on the coffee.

I would be full of dramatic characters, convoluted plots, bad music, hampsters, and fun fun fun!

I can see it now... *sees it now*

Shazz, are you there? I want you're opinion on this. When should it start? And where should we play it out?

Hi Guys! If this is going to happen, please count me in!

george, I've not seen shazz around for a while, so might be she's off picking daisies or what...

Picking daisies?
I hardly think so!

I like this idea but I am about to hand over the Post reigns to a deputy for a couple of issues and I'm not sure if he will manage to fit something like this in alongside his other duties... that is if you were actually wanting the Post Team to organise it!

It certainly does sound like fun though... an interactive role-play series!

Drop me an email with a more detailed plan and we can discuss it without giving too much away!

Prez... you are totally bonkers!

shazz

Shh, Shazz, keep your voice down!

WEll I wouldn't be the one to suggest the format, as george had the idea, and I sort of missed the whole bandwagon thing last time so I don;t know that format anyway.

But I'll be happi to contribute to the storyboard! The chimp starts a singing career one night... *wanders off, spinning*

I would be happy to have your help on the format and storyboard. I'm afraid the closest thing I've ever done like this was writing a one act play.

I tried to find your email address, but failed. See you on ICQ then?
my number is on my u-page.

ICQ? I'll look for it.

How is this going?
Any progress at all?

shazz

Well so far we have some plot lines nicely intertwining, and some characters jotted down, all we need is some timescaling and a look at the bandwaggon thing if we want to use the concept... will get back to you

I'm back. Would it be good if every scene started with something like this?:

Hmm...

If the whole thing isn't really going to go to film anyway, it's only going to be read. In that case, I would use sentences in stead of script tags, the latter being kind of dull.

" We open on the Fiesta Deck. Last night's party was part fun and romance, and yes, part emabarrassment. It was all embarrassment for Daisy, who is only now waking up from where she fell asleep behind a bulkhead. The tropical music she wakes up to, since nobody thought to turn it off when the party had ended, is somewhat out of place this sobering morning. Enter Tom, who sees her stumbling to her feet. "

Me being one for these kind of things.. like the big bandwagon which webTV booted me out of because of not letting me make my prescence known... I HATE THEM SO MUCCH!!! WebTv, that is, shazz! You know that anyway,

Plus! I've just made a little thing that you could put in the announcements... wow, I'm getting pretty keen on this announcements page thing!

Anyway I noticed before, "My ICQ number is on my uSpace", this often happens!!! Also with email, pictures, sounds, etc... everything to do with content on the web not on the bbc servers etc etc... So!

I Introduce a little thing that will allow any researcher to login as "h2g2links" and change the simple coding marked out and easily understandable , Each entry is linked to on the page, I Think you're best off visiting the site go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/U183819.. Plus shazz, i originally came here to inform you that your site is listed by me to start the thing off, along with veggie's, frankie rob's, mina's, amy ant's, and others..
