So what is ICE STATION UNICORN? I hear you ask, and that is a very good question I must admit. It is a sit-com I am working on for Radio/and or TV. A Blackadder meets The Mighty Boosh.
Dylan Pritchard, a geekie trainee IT technician is called to the bedside of his very rich uncle Owain. Owain is about to die and he is quite insane. He explains to Dylan that he was the last remaining member of a religious cult called the Children of the Light, and also the only member. He tells Dylan that he is to live at the North Pole where he is to await the arrival of Veenar, a group of space aliens who it has been predicted will return to earth with an extremely important message for the world. He claims to have set up accommodation at the proposed landing site. There has to be someone of the same bloodline to meet them. Dylan is not very keen, but when his uncle tells him that he will receive 6 million pounds to be there for five years, (paid for by his estate), food and supplies catered for, he realizes that he could have a very good future after that.
He doesn't go alone. Owain's butler, Tyson accompanies him. Tyson is as tough as old boots and has some very impressive survival skills which will get Dylan out of many scrapes.
However once there, Dylan's overactive imagination gets the better of him and he starts to have hallucinations. He starts seeing things like unicorns, and polar bears talk to him. He is soon convinced that this might be due to alien activity, something Tyson is keen to shrug off.
Meanwhile, why is he having such strange and lucid hallucinations?
