The 1988 series was cut to 20-minute episodes. And then the bombshell: he was axed all together.

"A rising young stage comedian, who is about to receive his profession's award as Most Promising Newcomer, dies sensationally on stage at the start of his act; as he picks up the mike, he is electrocuted.

Faulty wiring seems to be the cause; no one person's to blame; a verdict of death by misadventure is returned at the inquest.

But Simon Brett's actor/detective, Charles Paris, who has already solved some highly complex murders in 'Cast in Order of Disappearance', 'So Much Blood' and 'An Amateur Corpse', happens to have been in the audience.

And when another member of the cast reveals the comedian checked his equipment before the performance, Charles is launched on a further fascinating puzzle."

Allosaurous

video  File:Screenshot 332.png
**Allosaurus** is a relatively large dinosaurs which spawn in the red ant dinemsion. They are pretty strong, and relatively fast, but as you will see, they are pretty clever. Even if they have no strategy at all. They always rush in everything, making hitting them easier. They look like small, red, striped versions of the T-rex in this mod, although it is weaker than T-rex. They will attack almost anything, and will fight to the death. They drop gold nuggets and raw beef when killed. About 1/3 of it's body is it's hit box. They are about 2 and a half blocks tall and can walk right up blocks instead of jumping.

Attacking with projectiles from a distance is the best strategy, but if you want to do face-to-face combat, be sure to have emerald armour or higher. Be aware that it can throw you in the air, causing fall damage.

Ease On Down The Road
Tuesday the 10th

Tuesday the 10th was a roughly 7 minute mini-film made by Pink Windmill Kids Spencer Roberts and Joe Greco (Robco) in mid 1985. It follows the story of the Pink Windmill Kids, some of whom curiously play with a makeshift Ouija board, which leads to the possesion of Kelly Rossiter by 'Satans Daughter', who subsequently undergoes a murderous rampage. Kelly, following the brutal killings of her fellow Pink Windmill Kids, then returns to the group, leaving us with only a cryptic remark and a wink as the only sign of possesion. Debbie Harper is humourously thanked for making the movie so difficult to film, and also appears to have sworn, very clearly and emphasised, at Kelly following her possesion.

The complete cast of the picture are, (starring) Kelly Rossiter, Emma Whitllock, Alex Brennhan, (costarring) (believed to be misspelled as Alex's surname elsewhere is spelt Alex Brennan) Debbie Harper, Tammy Smallworth, Peter Davies, Alistair Smith (now know as Alistair David) and Abbie Shilling. Alongside playing characters within the film, Emma and Alex are credited as make up artists, presumably on Kelly in order to give her a more 'satanic' appearance, and Spencer and Joe are credited as camera men, technical advisors, producers and directors.

The film starred almost all of the All Live Series 2 kids, with the exception of Joe and Spencer, who were tasked with filming and directing. They did however provide some voiceover lines, most notably Joe reading the end credits and Spencer alledgedly adding moans of fear and pain to the death scenes, likely due to poor recording quality, and for added dramatic effect. Spencer also re-dubbed several of the film lines, including all of Alistair's. The music of Jeff Waynes' 1978 Musical Version of The War of The Worlds features prominently within the film, mainly the tracks 'The Red Weed (Part 2)' and 'Horsell Common And The Heat Ray', as well as a brief cut of Feargal Sharkey's number one hit 'A Good Heart' at the opening and closing scenes. It was filmed at the Strathdon Thistle Hotel in Nottingham, and with the first screening of the completed project reportedly occurring on the 4th of July, 1985, it is reasonable to believe it was filmed in late June or very early July.

It was with Spencers video camera, with the challenges of an inability to record in low light, a poor microphone that 'would miss entire lines of dialogue while picking up an ant's footsteps,' in multiple locations in Strathdon Thistle Hotel in Nottingham, and with the first screening of the completed project reportedly occurring on Thursday, 4th of July, 1985 on Joe's JVC HR-2650 with its half-second delay and no edit controller, it is reasonable to believe it was filmed in late June or very early July. It was screened to the main cast and crew of the show, including Rod, Carol Lee Scott (Grotbags), director Colin Clews and choreographer Alan Harding.
Emu's World Series 2 Episode 3

**Emu's World Series 2 Episode 3** was the third episode of Emu's World Series 2. It aired on the 3 November 1982.

During the number, she is joined by three back-up dancers: Sarah Jeffs as a Black Cat, Kate Power as a Red Devil and Aysha Mitchell as a Blue Demon. There is also a short interlude with a dancing skeleton in a white top hat. It remains unclear which one of the Corona kids played the skeleton.

Unlike, Redford, Grovel was an enemy to Croc and always stood by Grotbags and agreed with everything she said. This is the opposite to Redford who was a friend to Croc.

## Trivia

Nastysaurus

File:452961 orig.png
The **Nastysaurus** is the biggest, meanest dinosaur in the Red Ant Dimension. It supposedly is furious for not being included in the Big Bertha Recipe and will kill anyone or anything in its way, including you.

Health: 200 (100 hearts)

Attack: 32 (16 hearts)

Defense: 17

Drops: Iron, string, leather and rotten flesh.

The Nastysaurus is a foe that you should steer clear if unprepared. Amethyst armour is the way to go if you want to take on this Nasty Dino. You have no reason to really battle him, except if he's in your way. He is not needed in any recipe and drops mediocre loot. Nastysaurus frequently engages into battles with the fauna, including the Pointysaurus. Alosaur and T-Rex and is able to overpower them. As he has no arms, he fights by getting up close and personal and tearing enemies to shreds. He also goes for an occasional ram or tail whack that has great knockback and respectable damage. As a tip, do not jump when fighting him. You will be launched back into hazards. Sure, you might want criticals but if you don't have the gear and power to tank him, you best stay away! One easy way is to not jump. Short mobs deal lots of damage against him because he may not be able to bite a mob if it is short so it may get a few hits of before getting attacked.
