Bajo calls the Spacial and DynamicEntry by Extraterrestrial Phenomena Investigations (SEPI) to hunt his missing parents, who were abducted in a Mexican fast food truck. He's officially rebuked but, unofficially, hired so he can use the company's resources to find his parents during off-work hours. The only condition is that he can't use company personnel for that. He still manages to enlist Violet and a wrestling-suit-clad Amy.Amy for his mission by virtue of them sympathizing with him.

[[AdamWesting Bajo]]'s parents were abducted in a Mexican fast food truck, so he tries to hire SEPI [[note:Spacial and Extraterrestrial Phenomena Investigations]] to hunt them down. However, since he's broke, and the SEPI team are short a man, they instead hire him, and allow him to use company resources to find his parents...just outside of work hours, and he can't use any staff (not that that stops him using Violet or Amy). Plus he's not getting paid.

''Trip for Biscuits'' is an Australian children's sci-fi show created by Film Finance Victoria, Creator/TheABC and Robot Panther, starring [[TVSeries/GoodGame Steven "Bajo" O'Donnell]], Mansoor Noor, Kate Mylius, Reef Ireland, and Charlotte Nicdao.
[[AdamWesting Bajo]]'s parents were abducted in a Mexican fast food truck, so he tries to hire SEPI [[note:Spacial and Extraterrestrial Phenomena Investigations]] to hunt them down. However, since he's broke, and the SEPI team are short a man, they instead hire him, and allow him to use company resources to find his parents...just outside of work hours, and he can't use any staff (not that that stops him using Violet or Amy). Plus he's not getting paid.
The series was first broadcast on ABC iView on March 3rd, 2017, before airing on [[Creator/ABC3 ABC Me]] on March 20.
!! ''Trip for Biscuits'' contains examples of the following tropes:
* AdamWesting: Bajo, natch.
* AlienAbduction: The Illacks' modus operandi, and the main plot point of the series.
* [[AliensInCardiff Aliens in Pine Gap]]: And [[AlienAmongUs living among us]].
* BrainInAJar: An interesting variation. Violet's brain is still connected to the rest of her body via cables, but it resides in a fish tank. It gives her some unique abilities as well, such as being able to [[VoiceChangeling copy other people's voices]] and feel the emotions of her fish. Just don't step on the cable.
* [[spoiler:{{Cliffhanger}}: Bajo's parents escaped the Illacks, and are now wanted by intergalactic police, who came to Earth looking for Bajo.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Violet, to almost NightmareFuelStationAttendant or CuteAndPsycho levels. Whether she was that way before her brain got shifted to her fishtank is never elaborated on.
* GenericEthnicCrimeGang: The Needlers are an extraterrestrial Mafia, who take the form of elderly ladies.
* HeroLookingForGroup: The entire first episode, complete with Confirmation-Denial Flip-Flop by Tosh on SEPI, and DynamicEntry by a wrestling-suit-clad Amy.
* HiddenInPlainSight: Apparently there is a dinosaur hunting sanctuary, but nobody notices because [[WeirdnessCensor they believe the roars are just birds.]]
* HumanAliens: A lot of the aliens are human-looking, although a lot of alien species have [[HumanOutsideAlienInside human-looking bodies built for them]], so as to blend in.
** Dolly ([[GenderBlenderName who is a guy]]) has [[NotQuiteHuman an udder on the back of his head]].
* IdiotBall: Everyone has held it at some point, at least once.
* JourneyToTheCentreOfTheMind: Bajo and Amy decide to do this when Violet decides to retreat into herself. Turns out they didn't need to.
* LessEmbarrassingTerm: They don't ''completely'' follow through to a completely favourable conclusion on cases (like if someone/something dies/gets damaged), so they get classed as "technical wins".
-->'''Dan:''' Technical wins are not wins!
* MrExposition: Bajo. {{Infodump}}s aplenty from him.
* ParentalAbandonment: Amy's parents and sister left for Japan, leaving her with her uncle, and eventually boss, Dan.
* PerpetuallyBroke: SEPI only just seem to survive courtesy of a lot of deals made by Dan to various debtors, and the odd case they manage to get (and keep) the pay for.
* SpeedDating: Spin dating is the intergalactic version.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Ursula is [[HughMann a perfectly normal human]] who runs a perfectly normal iced cream van, and [[BlatantLies does not know anything about any abductions of humans by Ilacks]].
* TemptingFate: Everyone except Bajo is vehemently against dealing with a Krontak, even going so far as to explain what happens when you do. Bajo, holding the IdiotBall, asks "How Bad Could It Be?" Cue the next scene, where a miner is [[NotEnoughToBury holding a fellow miner's leg]].
