Enter Max Headroom... but first we have
to go back twenty minutes or so
Network 23 in a bid to boost
popularity and revenue decide
to incorporate BlipVerts into
the advertising cycle
Bryce, head of research explains
that Blipverts transmit adverts
at a much higher speed and therefore
more can be incorporated into the
basic transmission
Enter Edison Carter who looks a
lot like Max Headroom, anyway. He
is a journalist and came across a
victim to Blipverts that simply
had instantaneously combusted.
Aided by Theora he decides to enter
the research facility
He then sees first hand what a
Blipvert can do.. Yuk
Then there is a chase as security
sends in their goons to get Carter
He escapes on a motorbike
But is hit by a MAX HEADROOM sign
activated by Bryce Lynch
Bryce explains what has happened
to Grosman and suggests making a
computer simulated Edison to take
his place on the news channel
Grosman is not impressed and eventually
tells him to get rid of Carter and the
data in the computer representation
The box of Max was handed over to
Reg for safe keeping at BigTime in
the pink van ....
Where Max is born to the world and
starts spouting embarrassing things
about Network23. He is also super
funny and starts to become popular
Grosman then has to explain why the
viewing figures of this rogue channel
are increasing. Who is this Max Headroom
OK Edison escapes from the body bank
Transmits his location via his camera
to Theora and they confront Bryce and
force him to expose Grosman and the
whole Blipvert risk. People exploding thing
Max sails off into the pink sunset
Edison gets his revenge by exposing
Grosman and saving mankind
Blank Reg and Dominique get to keep Max
And then the Max Headroom show
starts on Channel 4 weekly.
Max Headroom becomes a household name
For being super cool and for taking
the piss out of Tim every week.
And yes I have each and every episode on VIDEO
The very splendid Max Headroom
