* No-nonsense Real World author Peter Dickinson has been trapped in a fantasy world for quite some time (in the body of a dragon no less), forced into a quest to defeat the BigBad wizard, Ommadon (voiced by [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] / [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 Thulsa Doom]] himself, Creator/JamesEarlJones). Just when it seems the evil wizard has defeated the heroic band and all hope is lost, Peter (in mortal form) appears before him, polishing his glasses nonchalantly. While Ommadon transforms into a Hydra and attempts to intimidate him with threats of Biblical feats of magic, Peter defiantly refutes all magic as illogical and impossible. For every incantation Ommadon recites, Peter ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw9bny88OuY literally talks him to death]]'', countering with proven scientific facts (in alphabetical order no less), eventually having the Red Wizard desperate and on the ropes:
