Anyway.. back on topic... The ending could be brought bang up to date with a guest appearance by this man.. Colin 'where's that buggerin' spacecraft?' Pillinger. Oh .. hang on.. this is him. Colin 'Oi'm a flint napper, Tony!' Pillinger. Easy mistake to make. Anyway.. Perhaps it can go something like this... ''N.S.C. CONTROL: 'Ello moi lover! Lookin' good. It's goin' good! We're getting great readings here at N.S.C Control in Leicester! The Beagle 2 lander has touched down.. well.. somewhere on Mars. Amazin'! Oi can see rocks, shards, mosaics.. hang on.. Oi'm NOT Phil Harding! How about that, Selsea? SIR PATRICK MOORE' S SPACE CENTRE (P.M's BACK GARDEN REALLY),SELSEA: Hmm, fascinating! Ermm.. You're that bloke off Time Team aren't you.. I love your- N.S.C CONTROL: No, Oi'm bloody not! Hey wait! Oi'm gettin' a no-go signal.. or is that the microwave pinging? Oi asked Fred to change the warnin' noise! Oh.. it IS a warnin'! What's that! A green flash on Mars! SIR PATRICK MOORE, ETC: Doesn't 'Flash' only come in Lemony and Citrus blast? Oh..my neighbour leaned over the fenc and said it could be Pine Flash, perhaps? N.S.C. CONTROL: Stupid Bugger! 'Ello? 'Ello? SIR PADDY, AND SO ON: ........ N.S.C CONTROL: Ah well.. another couple of squillion quid down the toilet. Gladys, put the kettle on! I'll nip down Radio Shack and get another lander...'' No? Oi'll get me coat!

Perhaps this one:
"100 years later" appears on the screen, Morgan Freeman starts up:"We thought we were done with this war, but the Martians had already planned ahead....by planting tripod eggs deep within the earth awaiting riders on lightning,, ..." cue Spielbergs film!
OK that's silly and it was supposed to be funny, but it's not. Oh well.
Flynns idea is a good one!

My sister used to have a Metro. She was reversing it out of the drive one day and the front left wheel fell off. And people wonder why the rover group couldn't find a buyer eh ... quality british engineering :/ Ste.

Good one. everyone could have forgotten about the earlier invasion due to the 'post traumatic shock amnesia' then they all kinda make sense ;D

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE JOURNALIST DIE A PAINFULL DEATH Why? That would not be following the story properly, would it?

Wot an eccentric pair of eccentrics in an eccentric type sort of way.

Yes they weren't the best put together of cars and it was lucky it didn't happen on the motorway. I dread to think what would have happened!

The Journalist concludes the story and we see him, the old man he has become, rise from a musty armchair, move accross his study to replace a book on a shelf before blowing out a candle and retiring to bed. The camera remains in the room and zooms slowly on the window opposite, where, in the distance we see a green flare...whee-ooo whee-ooo whee-ooo

''BUGGER!''
