Angela gets more than she bargained for when she falls ill on a family holiday


Barton, Cordelia and their daughter Angela sit together on a coach seat

BARTON: ALL TOGETHER NOW


A coach in heavy traffic heads towards the airport

ALL: WE'RE GOING TO THE ZOO, ZOO ZOO


At the airport check out desk the family check in a line trails behind them and a the tour guide herds them

ALL: YOU CAN COME TO, TO, TO


The travellers board their transport that from the view looks like a plane, an airport like building and a fuelling tanker aid the deception

They travellers are revealed to be on a craft leaving earth's atmosphere

ALL: YOU CAN COME TO

A close up on the family having breakfast

BARTON: YOU DON'T LOOK WELL CHILD

ANGELA: I AM OK FATHER

CORDELIA: OF COURSE YOU ARE, THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO HERE FOR A GIRL OF YOUR AGE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF


Panned out the family is seen to be in the main hunting lodge, a large circular building of stone construction with a massive fireplace and dead animal trophies

BARTON: THIS MAY BE OUR LAST HOLIDAY TOGETHER

CORDELIA: NEXT YEAR YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO AWAY WITH THE SCHOOL AND NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH OUR ECCENTRIC BEHAVIOUR


An external view of the complex, the main lodges has a conceal roof and is surrounded by smaller similar buildings that house the sleeping accommodation

ANGELA: I DON'T WANT TO EVER LEAVE YOU

BARTON: DON'T WORRY, ITS ALL PART OF GROWING UP

CORDELIA: WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS


A fully panned back shot of the hunting complex shows it to be surrounded by a hug fence with a daunting rocky desert surrounding it. At the bottom of the page an ominous pair of claws grasp in ominous shadow

ANGELA: I'M SCARED

BARTON: ITS NATURAL BUT YOU'RE OUR ONLY DAUGHTER

CORDELIA: I'M SURE VERY SOON THE WORLD WILL BE SCARED OF YOU

PAGE 3


Barton and Cordelia say good bye to Angela as they board the safari vehicle, Barton holds what looks like a gun case under his arm

BARTON: IF YOU ARE REALLY NOT FEELING WELL YOU CAN STAY

CORDELIA: WE'LL BE BACK FOR LUNCH MAY BE YOU'LL BE FEELING BETTER. TRY EXPLORING THE COMPOUND


Angela stands next to fence waving goodbye to the vehicle at it hovers and takes off over the huge fence

BARTON: DO YOU THINK SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT

CORDELIA: ITS NEVER CEASED TO AMAZE ME HOW RESILIENT SHE IS


In a box out Angela wanders through a gap in the fence

ANGELA: I WONDER WHAT'S OUT HERE?


From the back of the safari vehicle the parents looks anxiously at the complex disappearing into the distance

BARTON: I'VE NEVER SEEN HER LIKE THIS BEFORE

CORDELIA: ITS JUST HER AGE

BARTON: WERE YOU LIKE HER?

CORDELIA: OH NO ANGELA IS QUITE UNIQUE


The vehicle has landed and the inhabitants have set up easels to paint the landscape, this is a painting safari to 'capture' animals in their natural environment

BARTON: I'M GOING TO CAPTURE THIS BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE

CORDELIA: BE CAREFUL WITH THAT BRUSH YOU'LL HAVE SOMEONE'S EYE OUT


Angela wandering runs into a massive foot, that of the beast whose claws we saw earlier

ANGELA: O OH

PAGE 4


Barton and Cordelia are desperately searching their room for the absent Angela

BARTON: WE'RE HOME DEAR

CORDELIA: TIME FOR DINNER

BARTON: SHE'S GONE


Angela walks back to the complex followed by the beast (only visible by it's legs)

ANGELA: MUMMY WILL BE SO GLAD I'VE MADE A FRIEND, I'LL CALL YOU DOBBIN


Barton and Cordelia leave the complex to search for Angela in the safari vehicle

BARTON: SHE CANT HAVE GONE FAR

CORDELIA: WHAT'S THE POINT IN HAVING A FENCE IF IT ONLY KEEPS LARGE THINGS OUT AND NOT LITTLE THINGS IN


Angela walks into the complex and the monster flattens the pathetic fence under a single foot

ANGELA: THE CAMP'S DESERTED MUM AND DAD DON'T SEEM TO BE AROUND


Angela has buckled into the seat of the transporter

ANGELA: NEVER MIND, MAKE YOUR SELF AT HOME, DOBBIN


Angela returns the beast to earth, it's just fits in the craft but it's feet poke out of the back

ANGELA: I'LL TAKE YOU TO SEE MY BEST FRIEND ALLY THEN THEN WE CAN GO TO SCHOOL FOR SHOW AND TELL

PAGE 5


Angela has landed the craft in a forest, where the beast has emerged and they are continuing their walk

ANGELA: THAT WASN'T VERY NICE OF THE PLANETARY DEFENCES TO SHOOT AT US, BUT I SHOWED THEM DIDN'T I. I BET THE MILITARY WILL BE RESEARCHING THE EFFECTS OF YOUR METHANE AS A WEAPON FOR MANY YEARS TO COME


Angela hugs the foot of the beat

ANGELA: I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WHATEVER HAPPENED I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU


On those magical words the beast shrinking and dissolves into a carbon copy of (the unseen) Angela

DOBBIN: ARGGHHH!


Dobbin (as Angela) clasps it's hands to her head.

DOBBIN: DOBBIN WHAT SORT OF NAME IS THAT FOR AN EXILED CRIMINAL MASTERMIND. I'D NEVER THOUGHT I'D ESCAPE THAT CURSE, THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEING A TABLOID ODDITY AND BEING SKETCHED BY WRINKLY PAINTERS. THANKS TO YOU GIRL I'M FREE. CAN'T SAY I LIKE YOUR STYLE BUT IT'LL DO.


Angela has transformed into the beast Dobbin used to be, her foot clumsily squashes the beast (now looking like Angela)

ANGELA: WHY'S EVERYTHING SHRUNK? WHAT S HAPPENED? WHERE ARE YOU DOBBIN? DOBBIN?... WHOOPS
