The Harbinger of Nothing

Sunday 22 May 2011

You people make me sick.

I've had a further brain thought concerning Time Slag, Here's her backstory:
 
Time Slag is a sexy financial adviser. She prosecutes things like insurance fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, etc., acting as a kind of ombudswoman to the intergalactic multiverse.  Her hectic schedule barely gives her any time for a lovelife, but she still manages to leave a trail of broken hearted men in her wake. She's also a cyborg, for some reason.

Following in the footsteps of Doctor Who, who had popstar Billie Piper for a glamorous assistant, Time Slag's sidekick is Simply Red's Mick Hucknall. Unfortunately Mick suffered an awful teleportation accident where his DNA became intertwined with that of an alien virus. It has left him extremely disfigured. He's now a boneless slug-like creature with a single hand that has no opposable thumb. All he can do with it is nudge objects that happen to be in the nearby vicinity, rather like a cat with a ball of twine.  He has no power of speech, but is fully sentient: he scrawls messages in his own mucus that plead for someone to end his wretched existence. Harrowing stuff; yet funny as well.

Mick's lack of mobility may pose somewhat of a problem in the show's action sequences that require rapid movement. But I've hit upon an ingenious idea to circumvent this: Time Slag will push Mick's body around in a wheelbarrow. It should all make for some tremendous entertainment.

I think the BBC1 Saturday 7pm slot would be ideal for Time Slag, just after the new hit reality programme, Ainsley Harriott's Jizz-Fart Maggot Farm.
