"The Substitute" is the 2nd episode of the fourth season of The Dreamstone (and the 41th of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 10th of January 1995.
Synopsis[]
Urpgor invented a voice altering device to call The Dream Maker and trick him into going to Junious for an emergency, with the assurance that a substitute is on its way. After a negotiation about stealing the Dreamstone, Zarag agreed to be the substitute, with a hood over her face. She polluted the Dream bottles with Argorribles so that she can give everyone nightmares, and decided to steal the Dreamstone for herself. When she revealed herself to the Noops and stole The Dreamstone, she ran back to her home with Sgt Blob in hot pursuit (without realizing that what she had is an empty container)
"Perhaps not! Why don't we play Eye-Spy? We've got loads of time!"
Trivia[]
- This is the third and final appearance of Zarag.
- A clip from Zarag Rules is used in this episode (albeit with Urpgor's dialogue revoiced according to his actor change).
- This is the sixth onscreen appearance of a dream (it is also the only instance of one being a nightmare).
- This marks the fourth time Zordrak has succeeded in wide spreading nightmares across the Land Of Dreams (fifth counting the Urpneys' sabotage in "The Dream Beam Invasion").
