Raymond, wants to be a new God start a new religion. The main snag is that he hasn�t got any money. As a result the world he creates is made out of substandard materials such as beermats and Fanta.
The situation breaks down into two main parts. There is the politics of running and funding a universe and all the troubles behind it. Conflict with other, struggling Gods with their own worlds, sabotage and careers advice, set in the village of Brizzlewick. Writing the bible and trying to make the whole thing really catch on. Sending Raymond Witnesses around to annoy people and subtlety touching on deep issues by stupid metaphors.
There is also the world itself. This is an endless opportunity to parody anything that has happened in the history of the universe with God�s substandard materials being a permanent twist. Instead of a stone age, there�s a cardboard age. We map the tales of frustrated ancient man living in old cornflakes packets and the oppression of a king who is armed with some deadly Formica.
There are also endless bible stories as influences. Adam and Eve are budget models and God discovers Adam is gay - a balls up that throws the entire future of the human race into doubt. After killing Goliath, David is put on a murder charge, Jonah gets eaten by a shark and Noah�s ark sinks.
The whole operation is wrought with confusion, a frantic Raymond trying to keep it all together while keeping a tight grasp of his purse strings. The world is heading for disaster. Pressure of finances and final demands from the bank build up, other religions sue for supposed plagiarism, God has to sack half the solar system (putting Stephen Hawkins out of a job) and the world needs a saviour. Enter Jesus who, in this version, gets ran over by a milkfloat.
