HOLLY: How simple do you want this?
RIMMER: Ah, so Lister can understand it.
HOLLY: Oh dear.
I have found, on various occasions, that it
can be quite difficult to explain the premise of a favorite
television show, book or movie in a quick, concise manner. More often than not, any explanation results in the glazing of eyes, complete and utter confusion or deep concern.
The following is an attempt to describe the main idea and important
details behind as many of the shows, books, etc. mentioned on
this site in 500 words or less. It's not
easy! In most cases, it is easiest to simply quote or paraphrase
the premise supplied. Material taken straight from the source is in pink and any additional or original comments entries and information
provided by me are noted in white.
Below, are links to these mini-guides. However, should you be far too busy or (impatient) to read the full guide, I have attempted to do the imopssible and included a one-sentance summary below the link.
While there are other things that should proably be added to this section, I've managed to put up three summaries. So until I get 'round to putting up some more...
