3 Episodes 1993 - 1993
Episode 1
"There's more mineral deposits in a bottle of fizzy water," is the opinion of the Aboriginal leader, but this doesn't deter a corrupt consortium from its aim of mining for uranium in a remote part of the Australian desert. Ben Elton has adapted his best-selling first novel, a satire set in the final days of the earth as it is asphyxiated by industrial pollution, into a three-part comic fantasy filmed entirely on location in Australia. Elton plays English writer C.D., a pommie poseur more in search of sex than noble causes, who becomes involved in the struggle to delay the coming of Armageddon.
Episode 2
C.D., Ben Elton's sex-starved pommie writer Down Under, is still hopeful that his companion Rachel will respond to his advances, but in the meantime must keep up with her scheming. In the second of Elton's three-part comic fantasy, adapted from his best-selling first novel, Australian billionaire Sly Morgan pursues his mysterious intention to turn a remote piece of Aboriginal land into a leisure resort, but C.D. and Rachel are at odds over their approach to him.
Episode 3
The final episode in Ben Elton's adventure comedy set in Australia about a motley group of eco-activists who uncover a plot to destroy the world - the Stark conspiracy. The Stark master-plan for the planet earth is now in its final countdown, with the would-be heroes of the hour in the conspirators' clutches. Can Zimmerman lead the team to freedom and find Stark in time?
