BABYSHAM
BabySham initially appears to be an ordinary computer science student, but soon turns out to be an android cyborg killing machine thing: an aborted Microsoft experiment of some kind; DARYL with attitude or something like that. He is a bounty hunter of some talent, turned
private investigator.

EPISODE 1
Babysham is rebuilt by Siddor, and given
the task of capturing Princess Rae. Which he does. He is then ordered to
destroy the entire cast. He starts well, but is distracted by and episode
of Home and Away, and ends up presenting a game of Fifteen to
One.
EPISODE 2
When Laura realises that the Fifteen
to One prize (the Crystal of Enderon) has been stolen, the game is
abandoned, and Babysham winds up taking a job as henchman to God's great
rival: Tosh. But he loses his master, and joins his old colleagues to track
him down. When the security footage from Fifteen to One arrives,
he sees that his companions were the ones who comitted the crime that left
him jobless, and he insists that Stew is tried for his crimes. This leads
to Stew's execution. In the subsequent re-tuning of their televisual universe,
Babysham loses his head in an explosion at Grange Hill Comprehensive. Stew
pays tribute to his fallen friend / enemy.
EPISODE 3
In a debriefing session, Leon outlines
his belief that Babysham is involved in a lead-crystal decanter smuggling
ring. But he is unsure of the android's whereabouts, and so employs a selection
of bounty-hunters to track him down.
EPISODE 4
Babysham saves his old friends by shooting
Siddor, and then proceeds to complain about how none of them remembered
his birthday, and how he wasn't even in the last episode. Stew placates
Babysham by allowing him his own special birthday episode set in the Caribbean.
Unfortunately for Babysham, a few minutes into the episode he gets blown
up. To drown his sorrows, he goes swimming with dolphins, and becomes a
dolphin himself. But that's all just a badly scripted fantasy.
EPISODE 5
At some point before all of this, at least
from an outside perspective, Babysham operated as a bounty-hunter, and
was employed (presumably by Yoga) to dispatch the Zen Flamenco Dancers.
He was also given the task (by Omra) of tutoring Anna Barrett in the ways
of bounty hunting.
EPISODE 6
After an apparent spree of mass killing,
Babysham meets our heroes on a bus. He agrees to help them train for their
inevitable battle with Siddor, by lending them his lorry and teaching them
archery.
EPISODE 7
Roped into the inevitable battle with
Siddor, Babysham gets himself killed. He sets up a private investigation
firm in Hell, where he is aided by Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
EPISODE 8
Babysham and Willow are persuaded to help
defeat the geese that are holding the Earth to ransom. But Babysham gets
stuck in a swamp, and is blown into several agony-filled pieces when the
Earth finally explodes.
EPISODE 9
A time anomoly sees Babysham winched out
of the swamp. Willow is crushed by the seating in the Barbican, and (by
a chain of events that are unclear) BabySham finds himself trapped in a
Stargate with his old colleague Alan Quinn. The pair of them are eventually
rescued by their friends, and end up on the Planet Musaka. Deciding that
their community is short of women, they all go to Planet F34, only to be
caught in a standoff with Sarah Michelle Gellar / Lucifer after a working
Tardis is located.
BABYSHAM 1
Back in Hell, Babysham re-establishes
his detective agency with the help of Alan. He acts as a bodyguard for
a local antiques trader called Eugene Mayburn, and ends up wanted for his
murder.
BABYSHAM 2
With the help of Mayburn's cousin, Jade,
Babysham finds the real murderer. Convinced that there was a greater mystery
surrounding Mayburn, Babysham ends up having sex with Mayburn's widow,
Letitia, in an abandoned graveyard.
BABYSHAM 3
Following the incident in the graveyard,
Babysham succumbs to a debilitating virus, and has to be reprogrammed by
Jim Barrett.
BABYSHAM 4
Babysham, Alan and Jade surruptitiously
attend a black mass organised by antiques traders. They are spotted, and
Babysham is forced to open a curious box that unleashes a quasi-nuclear
explosion.
BABYSHAM 5
In search of theological information,
Babysham seconds Stew and Leon from Heaven. But Stew ends up being held
prisoner by his mother, the Goddess Bhuvana, whose powers were returned
to her by the explosion in the last episode.
BABYSHAM 6 (Red)
Babysham, Alan, Jade and Leon set out
in search of Stew. They find him and his captors by the side of the road
in the middle of a Godly procession. They secure the release of Stew, but
then Leon seemingly assasinates God, Bhuvana and Satan. General chaos ensues.
BABYSHAM 6 (Green)
Babysham's ex-student turned mentor, Anna
Barrett, informs him that his programming has been compromised by Bhuvana.
So he is reprogrammed by MI7. Leon then leads Babysham et al to a bookshop
so that they may locate Stew and his captors via a magic bead. Babysham,
still in shock from the invasive reprogramming procedure, jams a shard
of glass into his laser eye, sending laser light through the magic bead
and onto a map, thus pinpointing Stew. Leon then seemingly assasinates
God, Bhuvana and Satan. General chaos ensues.
