The music fades, and a young man in a black tuxedo steps on to a podium between two giant video projector screens.

And, as the rock music fades in and the secret service prepares a corridor, he has time for one last entreaty.

But, as the theme music fades (duuh-duh) and the story begins, an odd sort of pleasure unfolds.

Then, as he turns, exhausted, at the close, and the music fades away, a tinny computer tune pierces the air.

The screen then fades or cuts to black while the intro music fades in.
