Professor Sparkes, you're a hero
Professor Sparkes: Gilbert, you bad, bad boy, now stop these silly games this minute or Daddy will blow his top. Now I shall count up to three. One, Two, Three.
(Holly and T-Shirt arrive back at the lab).
T-Shirt: Professor Sparkes, we're back. Cor you wouldn't believe all the adventures we've had.
Professor Sparkes: Oh yes.
T-Shirt: We've been in Pyramids...
Professor Sparkes: Yes, yes.
T-Shirt: ... and met gangsters...
Professor Sparkes: Yes, yes.
T-Shirt: ... and been down chimneys...
Professor Sparkes: Oh yes.
T-Shirt: ... and even seen the Yeti.
Professor Sparkes: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
T-Shirt: And cor, it was amazing, wasn't it Holly?
Holly: Oh yes, certainly was.
T-Shirt: Fantastic.
Professor Sparkes: Yes.
Holly: What about you Professor Sparkes?
Professor Sparkes: Me?
Holly: Yes, what have you been up to all this while?
Professor Sparkes: Oh well, never mind about me, did you get all my crystals back? That's what I want to know.
T-Shirt: Sure did, every last one, it wasn't easy though.
Professor Sparkes: Well no-one said it was going to be easy, did they? Just give them back and double quick.
T-Shirt: Righty-o.
Holly: Hang on a minute, what about that booster machine you were supposed to build for T-Bag, where is it?
Professor Sparkes: Oh that, er.
Holly: Did you finish it?
Professor Sparkes: Well, well, no, no, I didn't actually, I, I refused to make it.
Holly: Oh great, you won't be needing the crystals then, will you?
Professor Sparkes: Wha... What?
Holly: If T-Bag hasn't got a booster machine, she can't begin transmitting can she?
Professor Sparkes: Arh.
Holly: And if T-Bag can't begin transmitting then you don't need your jamming device to stop her, do you Professor?
Professor Sparkes: Yeah, well no, err...
Holly: And if you don't need your jamming device, then you won't be needing the crystals will you?
Professor Sparkes: Well, er, no, no, yeah, I mean, look, erm, just hand them over, they're mine.
T-Shirt: Yeah, come on Holly.
Professor Sparkes: I mean, you never know, I mean, she might get it all going somehow, you never know, booster or no booster, you just never know. So we've got to be sure so, erm, give me the crystals.
T-Shirt: He's right Holly.
Holly (whispered): Come here.
T-Shirt: What?
Holly (whispered): Come here.
T-Shirt: Excuse me a minute. What is it?
Holly (whispered): He's still under T-Bag's spell.
T-Shirt (whispered): No.
Holly (whispered): Yes, look, there's something not quite right.
T-Shirt: The Professor, under T-Bag's spell?
Professor Sparkes: What, spell, me? (Laughs) No, no, I came to senses soon enough. I sent that old baggage off with a flea in her ear. She won't bother me again.
T-Shirt: See? Give him back his crystals.
Holly: Alright.
Professor Sparkes: Er, champion.
T-Shirt: I knew you'd stand up to T-Bag Professor Sparkes, you're a hero. Saved the day you have. I'd have loved to have seen Bin-Bag's face when you told her you wouldn't make her stupid booster, she must have hit the roof.
Professor Sparkes: Er, she did, you're quite right.
T-Shirt: Well, that's that, no more High-TV. I told her it would never work and I was right.
Professor Sparkes: Yurr-uh, where are those crystals?
Holly: Here, all present and correct. Nine crystals returned to their rightful owner with my compliments.
Professor Sparkes: Thank you. Your Majesty, I've got them.

The jinx strikes again
T-Bag: This is it T-Shirt, the moment of truth. Stand by. T-Shirt, T-Shirt. Gone again, I don't believe it, I'll wring his neck.
(T-Shirt appears).
T-Shirt: Oh hello.
T-Bag: Where have you been?
T-Shirt: I had to pop out.
T-Bag: Where?
T-Shirt: Erm, er...
T-Bag: You're up to something.
T-Shirt: No I'm not.
T-Bag: What are you up to?
T-Shirt: I erm, er...
T-Bag: Oh I've had enough of this. I'm going to take your magic powers away from you and then you'll stay put.
T-Shirt: No.
T-Bag: Yes, don't fight me boy.
(The booster starts to beep).
T-Bag: It's ready, it's ready. What are you doing?
T-Shirt: I just wanted to put Ted back in my...
T-Bag: Ted, Ted, I hate this blasted thing. Stand by.
T-Shirt: But Ted.
T-Bag: Five, four, three, two, one...
T-Shirt: Ted.
(The booster explodes with sparks).
T-Bag: What happened? What happened? What have you done?
T-Shirt: I don't know, I never touched it.
T-Bag: The jinx, the jinx strikes again.
T-Shirt: I'm telling you I never touched it.
T-Bag: Get out, go on, get out of here, get out of my life and take your blasted bear with you.
(T-Shirt disappears).
T-Bag: This is a job for Professor Brightspark.

High-TV takes to the air
T-Bag: At last, the great moment has arrived.
(T-Shirt & Holly arrive).
T-Bag: Hello my dears, you're just in time.
Holly: Professor.
T-Shirt: Quick.
Holly: Where's the jammer?
T-Shirt: Give us the jammer.
Holly: Hurry.
Professor Sparkes: Oh dear.
T-Bag: Were you looking for something children? That perhaps.
(The children see the jammer smashed over the floor).
Holly: Oh no.
T-Bag: Oh yes. Your precious jamming device, without it those crystals are nothing but a bunch of useless sparkling stones.
Holly: Oh I hate you T-Bag.
T-Shirt: And I hate you too.
Professor Sparkes: Yeah so do I and so does Gilbert.
T-Bag: Oh shut up, I'm going on the air and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me.
Holly: Professor.
Professor Sparkes: Yeah well, she's right, so help me, she's right.
T-Bag: One more minute to go, one more minute and then. Yes, yes, yes. My whole life has been leading up to this one magnificent moment. My time has come along...
T-Shirt (in thought): Just a minute, she never did take my magic away, I wonder, I've just got to try.
T-Bag: ... all my trials and tribulations, my ups and downs, my worries and heartaches have all been just for this, I've travelled life's long highway, pitted and potholed though it was.
(T-Shirt blinks and fixes the jammer) Step by agonising step, just to reach this final glorious destination. I, yes, even when the path ahead seemed grey and gloomy, I knew those winds of genius would come and blow away those clouds of doubt and I was right, blow wind and crack your cheeks. Ha, ha, ha, ha. This is it, this is it, the end of civilisation as they know it.
(Holly puts the crystals onto the jammer) Fifteen seconds more and High-TV takes to the air, the T. Set will be revenged and I, The High-T, will reign supreme.
(T-Bag uses her magic and has changed into her black dress) Ten, nine, eight, seven....
T-Shirt: Right T-Bag, take this.
(T-Shirt flips the switch on the jammer several times but nothing happens).
T-Bag:... six, five, four, three, two, one. Hello everybody, and welcome to High-TV, and now, without further ado, here is a little message from me to you!
T-Shirt: Stupid thing.
(T-Shirt hits the jammer and it starts to work).
T-Bag: What the?
(Darkness descends on the room with flashes of mysterious multicoloured light. The heavenly choir song begins. The High-TV set up is struck by green pulses of light which sparks and explodes alongside the T-Plant, T-Bag is trapped in a beam of bright green light)
T-Bag: Oh, you monstrous, monstrous people! You've ruined everything! Everythiiiiiiiing!
(T-Bag is destroyed and disappears, the room returns to normal).
T-Shirt: Wow, that's finished her off.
(T-Shirt looks and sees the professor has disappeared) Professor?
(He then notices that Holly has disappeared) Holly?
(T-Shirt wanders around the T-Room, puts down the jammer, stops still and imagines that he is hitting the TV. He then finds himself back in the curiosity shop).

Sparks in Space
(Back in the curiosity shop, Thomas is watching the TV).
Holly (on TV): So before we join Sparks in Space...
Thomas: That usually does the trick.
Holly (on TV):... let's say hello to the stars of the show, Professor Sparkes and Gilbert, hello.
Professor Sparkes (on TV): Hello to you, say hello to the girls and boys Gilbert, go on (laughs).
Holly (on TV): We're all looking forward to your new series Professor, I expect you've got allsorts of weird and wonderful surprises in store for us.
Professor Sparkes (on TV): Arh well, now that would be telling.
Holly (on TV): Well one thing's for sure, you never know what's going to happen when you tune into this show.
Thomas: You can say that again.
