As someone who was born in January 1979 I'm pleased to hear it was a golden year for TV. Looking forward to this.

Scene is a suburban street. A green RANGE ROVER is parked on the kerb. We see two men approach it. We'll call them MAN 1 and MAN 2. 

MAN 1 [showing Man 2 the Range Rover]
So yeah here it is

59,000 on the clock 

Nice racing green

MAN 2:
Looks lovely 

MAN 1:
It's got the heated seats, auto headlights

 [Man 2 looks in the front seat]

MAN 2:
Really nice 

[man 2 now opening the back door]

MAN 1:
Reverse camera, air quality sensor

Leather upgrade - 

MAN 2:
What's that?

MAN 1:
WhatΒ 

MAN 2: 
There's something on the back seat thereΒ 

[we now see what he is looking at on the back seat. it is the tiny, shrivelled, calcified form of ANDREW MOUNTBATTEN WINDSOR, claw-like hands laced, his tiny body all grey, his hunted eyes glowing red]

MAN 1:
I can't see anything. 

MAN 2: 
You've got Andrew Mountbatten Windsor

MAN 1:
That's just light wear

MAN 2: 
It's not light wear mate,Β it's the former PrinceΒ 

It's completely ingrainedΒ in the leather

[he scratches disdainfully at the melted form of the royal wraith]

MAN 2: 
Is this why you didn't show the back seat on the listing?

MAN 1:
It's a design feature. 

MAN 2: 
I've come down from SuffolkΒ mate. 

[Ends]
