AN AMERICAN HIGHWAY IN THE TWILIGHT. A BIG WHEELER IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WE SEE THE CLOUDS FLASHING VARIOUS BRIGHT COLOURS IN A BROODING SKY.

SUDDENLY A SPACECRAFT EMERGES DOWN THROUGH THE CLOUDS

IT IS QUITE A DISTANCE BEHIND THE LORRY BUT ACCELERATES ALONG THE ROAD AT ABOUT 30 FEET UNTIL IT CATCHES THE LORRY UP. IT THEN MATCHES THE LORRY'S SPEED AND IT CONTINUES TO SHADOW IT.

THE LORRY ARRIVES AT A DESERTED RAILWAY CROSSING. THE SIGNALS ARE BOUNCING UP AND DOWN AND WARNING LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. A WIND BLOWS TUMBLE-WEEDS ACCROSS THE RAILWAY LINES. THE LORRY STOPS AT THE BARRIER AND THE SPACECRAFT HOVERS ABOVE.

CUT TO:

THE CAB OF THE LORRY. THERE IS A TYPICAL YOKEL BEHIND THE WHEEL.

YOKEL:
Dang blast it!

CUT TO:

SHOT SHOWING THE SPACECRAFT STILL HOVERING ABOVE THE LORRY. SUDDENLY THE LORRY IS ENVELOPED IN A BRIGHT LIGHT. THERE IS A HUGE FLASH AND THE SPACE CRAFT BLOWS UP INTO A ZILLION PIECES.

CUT TO:

THE CAB OF THE LORRY

Yokel:
Guess 'n that showed them darned alien punks.

CUT TO:

INSTRUMENT PANEL OF THE LORRY

THERE IS A LARGE RED BUTTON LABELLED "ALIEN BASTARDS SUPPRESSOR"

YOKEL:
Now that what I call ABS. Yeehaw!

END:

raised a smile Blenkinsop :)

Yeeehaw! Nigel.

Hehe -- like it. And you've pretty much nailed it there.

Could imagine it with Cletus in The Simpsons (though it would have to be his truck rather than a lorry)

I liked this aswell.

Nice. Now go film it!

I can just about switch the bloomin' PC on. Film? What me! Har har har! Anybody know how to do it then I'd be delighted if they'd like to.

Cheers

:D :D
