	For increased faithfulness to the source, the Earth ships should
be
identical cardboard cut-outs, and should always appear in threes, glued
to a
piece of transparent plastic!

	Further realism in recreating B7:  any character who isn't a
regular
cast member must be brutally killed for no apparent reason at the end of
every episode;	the skull prostheses of Earths fiendish Mutoid soldiers
must
be poorly glued to the actors' heads, so that they start to come unstuck
in
moments of stress.  Oh yes, injuries can be diagnosed and treated by
passing
an unmodified thermos flask over the affected area.

	Ah, those happy teenage days of perving over Servalan...

Sadly, but nostalgically,
