Getting to definatly be a not to be missed show.Tonight was good...thought provoking for those who have lost someone....oh,how I would love to go back and see the father I lost at 13......
Here is another script.....
A young man on his 18th birthday,out on his bike friday night with his brother,who has a pillion on his bike.Pulling off the road to drop off the pillion,the young man is run down on his bike by a drunk - sitting on the road,right leg under the bike,palms and seat of his pants on the road,going along at speed,and his back against the front bumper of a Transit van....he realises he is dead,he has already tried to slide out to the side and started to slip under the van.The van has gone back onto the road and is accelerating.The options are more than slim,they are nonexistant....this is how I die he thinks.....Mums going to be upset.....
Then,when all is lost - he see's his brother standing on the footpath yelling at him....but can't hear what he's saying....but his brother is gesturing with his arms and it's obvious what he's saying - ''up,up,STAND UP!!'' Oh yeah,that's a good idea.And so the young man pulls his leg from under the bike,stands on the engine,turns around and climbs up onto the bumper of the van,holding onto the windscreen wipers.After a Km as the van slows for a corner and runs a red light - he leaps off backwards to the side,landing on the grass verge,falls over backwards....but turns his momenteum into a backwards handspring and lands on his feet.
Later,after a few more dramas involving Police stations,assault,and the perp holding cops at bay with a pistol,which we won't get into - the young man thanks his brother for saving his life by telling him to stand up - ''No,I didn't do that,all I saw was the van go past me with your bike on the front in a shower of sparks,I thought you were dead and was trying to find your body...there was no one else on the road...''
Ok,if you haven't guessed I was the young man - tonights Dr Who with Rose saving her father from being killed....hmmmm.I have never been able to explain what happen...guardian angels,spirit guides....time travellers??? It certainly made an impression on me,marked my life....the single most important thing that's happened to me,I always relive it....and the one thing that doesn't fit......
