SEASON 2

----------

In which city life comes to the cul-de-sac and tempers go sky high along with the buildings

URBAN ED

----------

The Plot:

The Eds abysmal failure to extract a quarter out of ever-trusting Jonny via an "It’s a Knockout" style game leads them to suspect that they may be losing their touch. Either that or they're getting just too predictable for the locals to fall for their tricks any more, if only they lived in the city - people are so much more gullible there. Hello? Hello? Eddy's got a new idea - lets bring the city to the cul-de-sac!

And so, before you can say "gravy", from a formerly empty alleyway rises the gleaming cardboard bulk and dreaming spires of Edtropolis, full of excitement, allure - and peril for the city seems to have a knack for bringing out the worst in its would-be citizens as Jonny all too readily (and in vain) points out. Traffic jams and crazy drivers lead to road rage attacks, shady characters abound in every side street, its claustrophobic, its subversive and as for what the pigeons do to you - so unsanitary! The Eds sleek, chic, city is soon full of unrest and the final straw comes during a fracas at "Ed's Tattoo Parlur" when Jonny quite literally goes ape and Ed's way of helping out inevitably brings the city to its knees.

----------

Top Scenes:

The Eds wild efforts to get a quarter out of Jonny by making him think he's competing in a game - shooting a mouthful of peas at Ed "swimming" along hung from balloons; "feeding" Double D by throwing marshmallows at a tuba he's holding; squeezing out bananas at targets and most importantly - putting a quarter in the jar!

**********

The dazzling delights of Edtropolis - and especially the little sign advertising NEW buttered toast!

**********

The kids first taste of city traffic - Eddy's incessant horn blowing, Ed lolloping along pulling a wagon of biscuits n gravy and Double D's airbag deploying when rear-ended by Kevin

**********

The seedier parts of Edtropolis, Kevin is caught snickering his way through Bikini Babes magazine by shoeshine boy Double D and shady Eddy lurks in a dark passageway with information on Plank's whereabouts - for a price.

**********

Jonny searching the city for Plank and suddenly seeing him, but joy turns to horror as Plank whizzes past in a cart bearing the plate "eat my dust", the stricken Jonny maintains that Eddy's city has "corrupted the mind of my buddy Plank!"

**********

The Jonny/King Kong sequence where, driven to desperate measures in his quest for Plank, Jonny climbs the tallest building he can find and takes Eddy's money with him. The sudden silence when Edd gets Plank to talk to Jonny through the loudhailer/traffic cone is classic stuff!
