Expensive deleted scene on special edition DVD only

Scene 152: Boy is walking home.

(insert) Cut to: Father, bored of standing waiting for his son to return, hires a Bond-girl-type helicopter pilot (casting: Caroline Munro, Honor Blackman or Britt Eklund; in the modern era consider Holly Willoughby, Tess Daly or Cat Deeley…) to take him on an aerial reconnoitre of the area, and he sees his son returning from a very, very long way off, through a great crowd of authentically-costumed Victorian jugglers, fire-eaters and minstrels. 

He also sees a spacecraft emerge through the atmosphere of the second moon, with lights a-flashing and mysterious rays emanating from its base. Wild music and impressive 3D effects accompany this; aliens perform a line-dance on the bridge of their ship as Julia Roberts (dressed in chiffon, with platinum and diamond jewellery), an heavily tattooed Sylvester Stallone, and (time-travelled for the role) Pope Gregory IX (1170-1241) make very brief cameo appearances serving drinks and canapés.

Then, the Famine Police Jet Fighters (no explanation possible, none given) loom into view, firing rockets, and the set is destroyed. The helicopter is also hit, but before it explodes in a vast ball of flame, father jumps out, landing in a 3D haystack (CGI obviously) in a field near the road where his son continues to walk.

Cut back to boy as Father, arrives in front of him… (continues from here)
