[Douglas is presenting an advert for "Spaceology"]

Douglas:
Space: what is it? The simple answer is, we don't know. Or at least we didn't know until now. Hello, I'm Douglas Reynholm, and I'm not a scientist, but I do have a better understanding of what space is than any scientist living today. Where did I gain these insights? From this man, the founder of Spaceology. Beth Gaga Shaggy - no relation to Lady Gaga or Shaggy - is the founder of Spaceology, a religion, not a cult. In other words, when it comes to space, he's the man with his head screwed on tight. This is what he told me when I met him on holiday two weeks ago.

Beth Gaga Shaggy:
Space is invisible mind dust, and stars are but wishes.

Douglas:
I mean, think about that! That means every star you can see in the night sky is a wish that has come true. And they've come true because of something he calls Spacestar Ordering. Spacestar Ordering is based on the twin scientific principles of star maths and wishy thinking. If you'd like to know more, there are thousands of Spaceology centres all over the UK. If that doesn't convince you, well, then, maybe you just don't deserve to get what you want.

[Camera changes to Roy and Douglas watching the advert on Roy's computer]

Douglas:
Wow. You're a genius, Ray! Love the special effects! How did you do that thing where I'm spinning around?

Roy:
Well, in that bit, you're actually spinning around.
