Zyrgon is a cold, ice-bound planet halfway across the galaxy. That’s where X is a Family Organizer. She’s only eleven – but she’s in charge of her family of five.[Played by Lauren Hewett, staple in many kids shows of the 90s and the movie Strictly ballroom, won 2 AFIs and one from this and has then pursued career in fitness] FATHER is a lovable rogue, devoted to gambling [Bruce Myles] MOTHER’S a dizzily talented Wear Designer [Jan Friedl]. DOVIS is X’s older sister, about seventeen, and stunningly beautiful [ German teen starlet of the 80s and balletdancer, still acts too]. QWRK is eight, and a genius [also a staple on many many kids shows in the 90s and nowadays a director.]
[Taking a look on the planet one is left wondering how life evolved there, perhaps zyrgonians moved from somewhere else, and the uncanny (and common amongst scifi-races) similarity between homo sapiens!]
X is such a good organizer, she wins the coveted Pearlrock Logotype. She returns home – to disaster. FATHER has been discovered cheating in the government lottery – after winning it twenty-seven times in a row. The fearsome Law Enforcer-in-CHIEF comes to arrest him.[Bruce Spence,more about him later on] X promises to see justice is done. But X loves her father too much to let him go into detention. [Chief wrecks the home to show off a little and then gives 3 hours to find X's father].
Determined to keep the Family together, she decides on exile. X gets directions from LOX, a gorgeous but empty-headed space shuttle pilot she adores from afar [Paul Kelman]. They travel halfway across the galaxy – and turn left.[and stop by at Yorp's fuelstation to get some blue planet-currency]
Towards Earth – and Bellwood. [Melbourne, Kew and Surrey hills area, check it ourton google maps!] That’s where JENNY ROLAND lives [Kellie Smythe, sings these days, nice girl who wrote to me back].
X is meticulously organized. JENNY loves mess. X keeps a tight hold on her emotions. JENNY lets hers hang out. Especially since the recent turmoil in her family, which resulted in her dad leaving – and her mum being left with JENNY, her cynical brother COLIN {Che Broadbent], and her two bratty kid brothers. [Jenny wishes upon a star that her dad would come back and she would have a friendas she is mercilessly bullied by Michelle and Dallas at school.]
In space, X instructs her family to do nothing that might give them away in exile. [Mother learns french and certain about them landing on 18th century Versailles! What would have Marie said? X argues and then shows everyone 20th century Bellwood on PIC {Pocket Information Calculator] others are horrififie dof ugly 90s clothing and I sympathise, fashion was rather depressing back then!]
