SUNSET COVE TV…

SUNSET COVE TV…

Sunset Cove’s very own television channel, Sunset Cove TV (sometimes known as Evil TV and headed by the decidedly dodgy Lew Siffer) is watched by most residents of this sunny piece of paradise, and most particularly by Grandpa Gordon.

There are some fascinating programmes on this station but it is the roving newsmen who make tuning in something really special with their instant reporting skills.

These reporters are literally everywhere and nobody can escape their scrutiny. They are around when the Silver Lining saves the day and when the cook burns the spaghetti sauce at the Princess Diner.

The presenters of Sunset CoveTV all look alike and it is hard to say whether they are related, cloned, alien lifeforms or actually just one and the same person, changing their appearance slightly for each programme.

The very fact that normal high tech gadgets are ignored by these reporters might well point to the fact that there is something otherwordly or supernatural going on.

Microphones are often not used and reporters (like the one on the right) can often be seen talking into their hands.

However this does not seem to hamper the sound quality of the programmes and viewers claim that they can understand every little word that is being spoken.

It is unclear as to exactly where the studios for Sunset Cove TV are located as most of the footage is shot outdoors in and around the town, at the beach and at Atlantis High.

It is said that Lew Siffer has been planning some kind of daytime tv deal with headmistress Violet Profusion for a new show on Sunset Cove TV and the residents of the Cove are eagerly awaiting further news of this.

Some of the best news flashes have developed at the beach. Many a volleyball game, surf competition and Coach Shane tanning updates have been shot here but what the residents really get the feeling for is that reporters are actually on the lookout for the lost city of Atlantis.

It has to be said that one of the highest rating shows on this station is the weather report. Although every day in Sunset Cove is gonna be hothothot, residents still like to watch the happy face of the weatherman telling them that nothing had changed. They just love to know that they are going to be getting some more of Mr. Sunshine’s special A-ttention.

Sunset Cove TV is most definitely a great part of life, a cultural must in this beautiful area of the world. Residents are very glad to be able to keep up with the weather, news and special interest programming as well as to find out what gossip there is in their town.

They actually get to find out what is happening next door faster than if they were to stand at the window twitching the nets or to look over the fence!

Now that’s quality television at its best.

THE NINJAS…

THE NINJAS…

Where they came from and who they were trained by, nobody knows. But it is fair to say that this crack team of nifty ninjas are both swift and secretive.

They take their orders from Q without any questions. They carry out these orders with no fear for their own safety even though they have been in many a strange and sticky situation.

Although they never speak, this tricky team retain their manners and are very polite to anyone who happens to come across them.

They appear to have the power to multiply or disappear, as discovered by Dorothy Gordon. She found one in a cupboard at the Vermont’s home and whenever she shut and reopened the door, there would be one, some or none!

These Ninjas stealthily creep around the Cove on various tasks and adapt well to being in different places. Commander Vermont is quite fond of them and often congratulates them on their work (even though he knows nothing about them).

They are an accepted part of life in Sunset Cove and people are never surprised to see them. Their athleticism is most probably admired by many of the beautiful people of Sunset Cove and Atlantis High and they would be sorely missed if they were to disappear. Their presence is just a part of normal life in this happy little town.

THE MILITARY…

THE MILITARY…

Led by the respected and inspiring Commander Vermont, this team of military masterminds forever lurk in the background of daily life in Sunset Cove.

Whether they are attached to their countries military base or not is something that we have yet to discover.

Perhaps this team of soldiers are employed by the owners of Sunset Cove to keep this unique and idyllic lifestyle top secret from the outside world.

Perhaps they are employed by Q or by whoever employs Q?

Maybe Commander Vermont is an eccentric millionaire who spends his money on playing soldiers in his back yard?

It could be that the Vermont house is built on a sacred Atlantan site that needs to be protected from the outside world?

This group of soldiers could even be made up entirely of alien lifeforms.

It is certain however that these boys in blue are extremely loyal to their beloved leader Commander Vermont and they try their very best to carry out his orders to the word.

They do not use typical military weapons or other such devices. Water guns seem to be the preferred weapon of choice and the cordless red hotline telephone is never far from the grasp of the Commander.

Training takes place in the back yard of the Vermonts’ home and there is a minefied to the west of the vegetable patch.

Commander Vermont eats sleeps and breathes the military and he looks after his men with the same loving care a father would show to his newborn baby.

Christmas in Sunset Cove nice earings! 3

SPECIAL ATLANTIS HIGH GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS

Christmas in Sunset Cove


DOROTHY
: “Why I love Christmas!! It’s my job to cook the Christmas turkey for the Atlantis High school dinner – this year’s bird was caught during a game of football and is a giant mutant pigeon that weights over four tonnes! It will take me all month to cook. My little Giles looks so cute wearing his winter woolies”.

SOPHIE: “I love Christmas! Santa and I have a competition to see who has the best special powers – he can jump down chimneys or letterboxes but my
poltergeist can lift up presents and make them fly around the room! I’d like to get Mr Fluffy Muffin a Santa hat – and for Giles to marry me!”.

VERMONT: “Oh dear, I have unhappy memories about Christmas. Last year I thought Santa (flying in his sleigh) was a UFO – I saw lights in the sky and ordered my troops to open fire. Santa was almost a gonner but Rudolph took evasive action and saved him. I’d like to know if there ARE any aliens out there for Christmas – and to catch one! I also love stockings – um, putting them on the fireplace rather than wearing them, you’ll understand!”.

GRAMPA: “I remember my first Christmas when I was a child about 300 years ago. My mother knitted me a locomotive out of steel wire. I loved it! This year I’ll knit Giles his own car
and carry on the tradition. I like to reminisce about Christmases from long ago with Frosty the snowman – he’s really cool!

HAVE YOURSELF A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
We would like to wish you a fantastic Christmas. There’ll be some amazing Atlantis High guides to check out in the New Year! Happy Christmas!

SPECIAL ATLANTIS HIGH GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS

Christmas in Sunset Cove

BEANIE: “I love Christ
mas – eating hot cross buns, chocolate eggs to eat. I get very cold ears when it snows – I use ovengloves as earwarmers, otherwise my ear wax freezes and blocks my hearing. I’m making Jet a necklace made of pebbles from the beach. I’d love to know who I am for my Christmas present – ya know, my origins and where I am from. Santa says I look a bit like his elves and last year he offered me a job in his toy factory…”


SIL
VER LINING: “Yes! I LOVE Christmas! Santa is my favourite superhero and I admire him. He wears a lovely red suit and has amazing superpowers – he flies around the world in record time with his sidekick Rudolph, he battles misery and unhappiness by giving presents wherever he goes. Santa is a good role model. I’d like a new pink mask for Christmas”.

OCTAVIA: “Jingle bells is my favourite song. Christmas is superb – I celebrate it with my daddy and mummy, who hold a Christmas party each year. I may get Giles some nicer clothes to wear as a present. I’d like some purple clothes for me, some make-up and a book by eminent Harvard professor, Dr Rudolph Rainder called “History of Reindeer”.

SHANE: “Christmas is nice I suppose. It makes people smile and I like to compare how bright their teeth are with mine. But I don’t like when it snows – the sun goes out (which ruins my tan) and I must wear warm fuzzy clothes to keep warm – I miss my shorts and can’t see my legs! I am also jealous that one thing in town has a better tan than me – the Christmas turkey (after it has cooked in the oven for 8 hours) is almost as brown as I am”.


DORSEY
: “Aaah – you want my opinion on the earth custom known as Christmas? Well it reminds me of “Masmas” which we celebrate on Fenor each year. A 3 eyed goozlebeast is cooked on a fire for 3 weeks and then eaten by Fenorians, who also sing songs, dance round the fire and give each other a wrapped up present. Christmas makes me homesick… but I like it for that very reason. I wish Santa would help me find Atlantis this year”.

FROSTY: “Christmas is great! I love it when people make snowmen (and snowwomen) because then I have some company and snow-creatures I can relate to. I’m a bit sad because last year both my parents melted in the sun! This year I’ll be visited on Boxing Day by my other relatives – Uncle Frank (who lives in a freezer) and Aunt Pammy (who is a puddle and lives in a bucket). They too nearly melted in the sun but they are thankfully still alive. I hope to get a fridge-freezer from Santa and to meet a female Frosty”.
