Introduction (from www.lookandread.myby.co.uk/stories/earth/index.shtml)

Remember how everyone was all hung up on pollution and stuff in the early
90s? Well here's Look and Read reaction to that - a story involving a
funny alien boy coming to Earth and helping some kids from a seaside town
to put a stop to the bad pollution coming from an evil factory.
This story is a bit of an epilogue to Weeks-era Look and Read: Charles
Collingwood's gone but Derek Griffiths is still around, singing and
playing a Wordy-esque "language probe" in the in-between bits, which are
set in a local newspaper office. There's still the old song lyrics, but
the music has been altered to remove all traces of a tune (listen to some
of the painful clips coming here soon) and the animations have been
replaced with live action cartoony sequences: they've even got an actor
playing Bill The Brickie, for God's sake!
It's very possible that writer David Angus was a long-term Look and Read
fan and purposefully hid references to earlier stories in Earth Warp...
For instance, when the children first meet Ollie, a boy from space, he
talks in funny beeping noises just like Peep-Peep out of The Boy From
Space; the learning bits are based in a newspaper office, as were the
learning bits to The King's Dragon; and one episode of the radio spin-off
Space Warp revolves around a giant weather computer that could come right
out of Cloud Burst (actually it couldn't - there was no weather computer
in Cloud Burst, but many people seem to have the impression that there was).
