Planet Rock Panto Part 2 Starring Joe Elliott - Full Transcript
Intro - "Planet Rock presents Cinder-Redick. The story of a lonely, unloved Prog Rock DJ whose only wish is to go to the Ball. So she can marry her Prince Charming. In the last episode poor Cinder-Redick has been told that she couldn't go to the ball. This made her very depressed, very depressed indeed. You know that feeling you had when Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy finally came out and you bought and ran home to play it and...oh god it was b****cks wasn't it? Yeah us too. Well Cinders felt worse than that."
Cinder-Redick - "Oh I feel so miserable even my best friend Mr. fury bass guitar furburger can't cheer me up on this occasion. (bass guitar noise). If only I could go to the ball!!!."
Cinder-Redick - "Wow can I hear thunder?. (Thunder's Love Walked In clip) - Well it's radio I can hardly do "It's behind you can i?"."
Joe Elliott/Fairy Godfather - "Cinder-Redick! Cinder-Redick!"
Cinder-Redick - "Ahh who are you?."
Joe Elliott - "I am your Fairy Godfather!."
Cinder-Redick - "Wow you look just like Joe Elliott lead singer of rock giants Def Leppard and star of Planet Rock every Saturday night from 6pm."
Joe Elliott - "Yes. I suppose I do. Why are you doing the stupid show plugs?."
Cinder-Redick - "It's either that or get the Panto sponsored by KISS FM."
Joe Elliott - "Hmmm. You made the right choice. Anyway, I'm here to grant you your ultimate wish."
Cinder-Redick - "Oh my god really? I get to sleep with Alex Lifeson?."
Joe Elliott - "Yes!. I mean No!. I'm granting you the wish about going to the ball."
Cinder-Redick - "Wow you can really do that?."
Joe Elliott - "Of course I can. I'm Joe Elliott. I've sold a billion records world-wide. I can do anything!. Except erase the memory of my rather magnificent mullet obviously."
Cinder-Redick - "But I look so raggedy in these old jeans, Planet Rock T-Shirt, beanie, Planet Rock fleece and other branded items I bought from the Planet Rock shop at a very reasonable price. See Planet Rock dot com for details."
Joe Elliott - "Worry not my strange American friend. I shall transform your rags into a cloak worn by Rick Wakeman himself. Shazam!."
Cinder-Redick - "Wow it's the Journey To The Center Of The Earth cloak too. But hey Joe. How will I get there?. My ugly step sisters have taken the Planet Rock van and it's five miles to the Royal Palace. I mean really in these shoes."
Joe Elliott - "Hmm a good point. To make you a golden carriage I first need something which you have a lot of. They must all be the same and there must be loads of them. So that I can transform them by magic! into a shining golden coach!."
Cinder-Redick - "Well we have got thousands of unsold Cybernauts downloads. How about them?."
Joe Elliott - "Perfect! If somewhat disrespectful. Shazam!"
Cinder-Redick - "Wow my own golden coach. But who will pull it. I mean I can hardly sit in the coach and pull it along at the same time."
Joe Elliott - "My god you do go on on don't ya?. Moan, moan, moan. What's that hairy thing in the corner?"
Cinder-Redick - "That's my furbuger. He's my only friend."
Joe Elliott - "Wow that's tragic! Even Rick Allen has more friends than that and he's a drummer! Okay here goes. Shazam!"
Cinder-Redick - "That's great Joe. Thanks. Now I shall be going to the ball."
Joe Elliott - "You sure will! But you must remember the following rules. Number One - Leave the party by midnight because that's when my magic spell wears off. Number Two - Don't tell anybody that you were actually at the party. I'm only meant to give VIP laminates and magic spells to friends and family. And Number Three - THERE IS NO NUMBER THREE!."
Outro - "Will Cinder-Redick remember the rules? Is Joe Elliott really able to do magic? Will Rick Wakeman's cape help her win her Prince?. Yes is the answer to all of these but listen tomorrow anyway to the next enthralling installment of Cinder-Redick."
