(Ambient music opens the scene as a radio host’s voice calm voice is heard.)

 

RADIO HOST: Good evening, Leicester. You’ve tuned into Apollo, the number one space-themed radio station in the known galaxy. It is nine o’clock at night and the stars are shining bright in the sky. We have a lot to talk to you about tonight on the show and a great selection of songs to play, so sit back, relax, and…

 

(The host is interrupted by the phone ringing.)

 

RADIO HOST: Will you look at that! Our first caller and we’ve only just started.

 

(The music cuts off as the radio host picks up the phone.)

 

RADIO HOST: You’re through to the Apollo radio station, what do you have for us tonight?

 

(The caller speaks in a slightly nervous tone.)

 

CALLER (D): Yes, hello, um… / so I just looked out the kitchen window and all I can see is blinking lights in the sky. I think it might be aliens!

 

(The host’s chair squeaks as he leans back in excitement.)

 

RADIO HOST: Oh-ho! A sighting, already! A lucky day for our listeners indeed! Please, tell us more.

 

CALLER (D): Well, you see, it’s-

 

(The caller is interrupted by a few seconds of muffled whispering.)

CALLER (D): What’s that? / It… it’s what? / Oh… / Um, never mind. There’s an ambulance outside nearby. Oops.

 

(The caller hangs up. A promoter begins to speak.)

 

PROMOTER: Worried about what you see in the sky at night? No need to be paranoid: visit the National Space Centre. Informative exhibits and helpful staff will teach you all you need to know about the great beyond, so you don’t have to worry. Book your tickets now.
