The Chuckle Brothers are making Granny Chuckle's Dandelion and Burdock drink but the recipe is so explosive Barry thinks it should be used as rocket fuel. Paul then has the idea to design a rocket called Apaulo 1, which he will send to the moon with Barry as a reluctant astronaut. However the rocket goes off with both brothers attached, landing in a truly desolate environment - possibly just a few miles up the road.

00:00T-T-T-Comvision! T-T-Comvision! T-T-T-Comvision!
00:15T-T-T-T-T...
00:19T-T-T-T-T-T...
00:21Hey, can I pour it in?
00:29No, no, no, no, no.
00:30You can't be too careful with pouring things.
00:32You didn't put any more burp doc in there, did you?
00:45No, I wouldn't do that.
00:47Good, because it's a very finely balanced operation, this.
00:50Every ingredient has to be perfectly measured.
00:56Hey, I wonder what it'll taste like.
00:58Marvellous.
00:59This'll be the taste of the 21st century.
01:02We'll call it Old Granny Chuckle's Oldie English Dandelion and Burp Doc.
01:07We'll make a fortune.
01:08That's what worries me.
01:09Why didn't Granny Chuckle sell it herself?
01:11Then she could have made a fortune, and we wouldn't have to bother.
01:13Ah, she did.
01:14She called it Granny Peg's Perfect Pop.
01:16Just didn't take off, that's all.
01:18Why's that, then?
01:19Because you didn't have the marketing know-how, and you've got to have the know-how in marketing.
01:22You do, I suppose.
01:23Course I have.
01:24You find a hole in the market, and you fill it.
01:26Like dentists.
01:27Can't stand them.
01:28But you've got to give the public what they want.
01:30Even if they don't want it.
01:31Exactly, you've got it.
01:50I think I'll pop pot.
01:52That's your fault.
01:54My fault?
01:55Oh, I'm glad you admit it.
01:56Now go away and leave me alone.
01:58But...
01:59No buts.
02:00You're always messing things up, you.
02:01Now go on.
02:05I didn't mean to.
02:06Will you go away?
02:08Go on.
02:15Go away.
02:19Go on.
02:40Paul.
02:41I'm not talking to you.
02:43Great.
02:49I'm not talking to you.
03:05What do you think you're doing?
03:06Watching television.
03:07It's explorers of space.
03:09It's great.
03:12You said I should keep out of your way.
03:15And you can get off there.
03:16I'm using that.
03:20I'm using that as well.
03:21Get off.
03:23But where can I sit?
03:25There you are.
03:26You can have that.
03:27Now stop complaining.
03:29Thanks.
03:36Five, four, three, two, one, zero.
03:41Hey.
03:42Just think how much they could have saved on rocket fuel
03:44if they had Granny Chuckle's dandelion and burp doll.
03:46Rocket fuel.
03:47Honestly.
03:48I don't know.
03:51You don't know?
03:59I wonder what's on now.
04:02Postman Pat.
04:03Postman Pat.
04:04Postman Pat.
04:05Postman Pat.
04:06I haven't seen this for years.
04:07It's certainly changed.
04:38There.
04:39What are you doing?
04:40Mind your own business.
04:41I thought I could give you a hand.
04:42I don't need a hand.
04:43I'm quite capable of doing this by myself.
04:45You go back and watch television.
04:47I don't need you.
05:08What do you think you're doing?
05:36I'm trying to give you a hand.
05:38I told you I don't need any help.
05:39Now you go back in and watch your television.
06:06This is the police, we've got news around here, give me a cell phone.
06:31Woof, woof, woof!
06:38Stand up a minute, Barrick.
06:39This'll do nicely.
06:40Hang on, I'm using that to watch television.
06:44You don't want to watch television.
06:45Don't I?
06:46No!
06:47Have a look in there.
06:48Cool!
06:49Spacesuit!
06:50Is this for me?
06:51Yeah, it's a prezzie.
06:52And guess what?
06:53What?
06:54I've got another surprise for you outside.
06:59Guess what you've been doing?
07:00Making a surprise for me.
07:01Can I have a look?
07:02No, no, no, no, no.
07:03It's not quite finished yet.
07:04You put your suit on and come out when I call you.
07:05Right.
07:06You can come out now, Barrick.
07:07Cover your eyes and keep them covered.
07:08Sit.
07:09Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
07:37Come on, come on, come on.
07:45There!
07:47What do you think?
07:53Lovely!
07:54No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:55There!
07:56Lovely!
07:57Look, then.
07:58Cool!
07:59What is it?
08:00It's a fizzy pop powered spaceship.
08:05You see, Barry, the dandelion and burp dock comes in through this tube here.
08:09When it fills all the barrels here, the pressure builds up and...
08:12I don't like the sound of that.
08:16I've called it Apollo One.
08:17One?
08:18You mean there's going to be more of them, then?
08:20Oh, probably.
08:21I think one day there might be hundreds of these travelling round to the four corners
08:24of the universe.
08:25All powered by Granny Chuckle's dandelion and burp dock rocket fuels.
08:28Propellent?
08:29It's not repellent.
08:30It's very nice.
08:31You're not really going up in that, are you?
08:33No.
08:34I'm not doing this for that.
08:35You are.
08:36Me?
08:37Yes.
08:38I'm not going anywhere.
08:39You've got the suit.
08:40I haven't got the helmet.
08:41Come on.
08:42You've got some training to do.
08:43Do you know what this is?
08:44It's a rope.
08:45It's not.
08:46It's a chuckle scope.
08:47What's one of them when it's at home?
08:48It's to test your body against the stresses of space flight.
08:49Oh, well, I'm not wearing a dress.
08:50I'm wearing a space suit.
08:51G-forces.
08:52I read it in a book by Patrick Moore.
08:53Didn't he play James Bond?
08:54Yes, but he lost.
08:55Now, what you've got to do is hang on to the end of the rope.
08:56Hang on.
08:57Hang on.
08:58Hang on.
08:59Hang on.
09:00Didn't he play James Bond?
09:01Yes, but he lost.
09:02Now what you've got to do is hang on to the end of this rope then run round to a clockwise
09:06direction.
09:07Ah.
09:08What happens to the stresses of coming back again?
09:09Well, that's easy.
09:10You just run backwards.
09:11Of course you do.
09:12Why didn't I think of that?
09:14Do you know?
09:15I really envy you.
09:16Traveling out there into space and becoming famous while I'm stuck here on the ground
09:19at mission control being a boffin.
09:21Why don't you go instead?
09:22I don't mind staying here and doing a bit of boffining.
09:24Oh, I couldn't do that.
09:25You're halfway through your training.
09:27Here, you have it.
09:28I'll feed it out to you.
09:30Let's go.
09:45No!
10:00Well, that's the way. Having a bit of a rest, eh? I got you an ice-cream.
10:15This is it, Barry. Your big moment. I'm going to be really, really proud of you, do you know that?
10:21Well, up you go then.
10:25Barry, up you go.
10:31Up you go.
10:35How am I going to get up there?
10:39Hmm. Don't worry, I'll think of something.
10:43I was afraid you were going to say that.
10:53I told you I'd think of something.
10:55Yeah, but now he's pointing the wrong way.
10:57I thought of that too. That's why I put that bend in it.
11:03Right, Barry. As it's your first time, it'll only be a short flight, OK?
11:07How short?
11:08Once around the moon and straight back. And no hanging about. I know what you're like. Ready?
11:14No.
11:28I don't like this, Paul.
11:30Will you stop moaning? I'm doing all the hard work.
11:33All you've got to do is press the indicator switches.
11:35OK, but let's get on with it then.
11:37Starting countdown now.
11:39Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.
11:45Pressing wobble button.
11:47Five, four, three, two, one.
11:52Five, four, three, two, one.
11:57What's happening?
11:58Pressure building. We have liftoff.
12:10What happened?
12:11Nothing. I can't understand it.
12:13Never mind. Maybe next time, eh?
12:16Yes.
12:23Oh!
12:40Wakey, wakey, rise and shine. Come on, pay space suit on. I've done it.
12:44I've done it.
12:49The tank was big enough and the perambulators of...
12:54As I was saying, the tank was big enough and the perambulators of the gaseous novoxus molecules were in line.
13:00All that was missing was the vital catalyst. Watch.
13:05Stand back. Three, two, one.
13:09Just imagine if you were sitting on top of that.
13:11I don't think I want to.
13:13In a pool of one? I'd only put a little bit in then. Come on.
13:22Here we are. The chuckle boost sugar injection system's ready to go.
13:26How does it work?
13:27Well, when you're ready to go, you pull on that lever.
13:29That releases the sugar into the container, which makes the pot go a lot fizzier.
13:33And Bob's your uncle.
13:34Bob's your uncle what?
13:35Bob's your uncle on the father's side. Right, do you want to have a go?
13:37But can't we have a test fire first?
13:39Course we can.
13:40Good.
13:41You get in there and we'll have a test fire.
13:48Ready for countdown?
13:50Ten, nine, eight,
13:53eight, seven, six, five,
13:57pressing wobble button, five,
14:00four, three, two, one.
14:04Four, three, two, one.
14:07Blast off.
14:10Barry? Barry!
14:17What do you think you're doing?
14:22When I say zero, you pull the lever.
14:25When you say what?
14:27Zero.
14:28Oh!
14:34No!
15:04No!
15:21This is Barry's log, stardate,
15:24tea time.
15:26I've landed on a desolate, empty planet,
15:28with no sign of intelligent life.
15:30I can't see Paul either.
15:32I think I'll go and have a look round.
15:34There might be a burger bar round here somewhere.
15:37This is Barry Chookoat signing off, without a pen.
15:46Now which way should I go that I've never been before?
15:58Where's he gone?
16:00Oh, no! Footprints!
16:03He's been taken by aliens!
16:05Serves him right.
16:07No, that's not fair. Poor Barry.
16:10Hang on.
16:12I could be Flash Chookoat.
16:15I could rush into the camp,
16:17dodging the deadly ray guns
16:19and mind-boggling devices.
16:21Ooh, I think I'd better get back.
16:23I forgot to cancel the milk.
16:25Let's repair this.
16:28Stupid thing.
16:30Why aren't you working?
16:38Ah! A horrible space alien.
16:41Please don't zap me, you ugly monster.
16:43Barry, you've been captured by aliens.
16:45Have I?
16:46I was coming to rescue you.
16:48Were you?
16:49I was, single-handed.
16:50Can I come and help you?
16:51Well, there's no need now. You're here.
16:53Course I am. Where are we?
16:55We're nearly where we are.
16:56We're where no chuckle has been before.
16:58If I'm not mistaken, this is that planet Roundtrees.
17:01Roundtrees?
17:02It's like Mars, only bigger.
17:04Great!
17:05It's not great.
17:06We're thousands of trillions of light-miles away from Earth,
17:08and no way of getting back.
17:10Well, we're only in the air for a couple of minutes.
17:12Ah, it might have seemed like a couple of minutes,
17:14but it depends how fast you're going.
17:16It's all relative.
17:17All like a grandfather clock?
17:18No, not that kind of relative.
17:20I haven't got time to explain now.
17:21Come on, let's have a look round.
17:23What happens if we meet some aliens?
17:25Well, if we do, leave the talking to me, OK?
17:27Oh, the alien might have two heads.
17:30Well, if it has, I'll talk to the one on the right,
17:32you smile to the one on the left.
17:33Right.
17:34Come on.
17:38I wouldn't worry yourself about it.
17:40If there are any aliens, they're probably very, very friendly.
17:43Hey, there's one now!
17:45Right, leave the talking to me.
17:48We've come in pieces.
17:49Take us to your leader.
17:52He didn't look very friendly.
17:54In fact, he looked frightened.
17:55Just as I thought.
17:56They're probably more scared of us than we are of them.
17:59He looks like our postie back on Earth.
18:01Don't be ridiculous.
18:02No postie's got a round that big.
18:04What if we haven't gone where no chuckle's gone before,
18:06and we are back on Earth, and that is our postie?
18:09What does the letter say?
18:11Oh.
18:12A-R-G-H.
18:15A-R-G-H.
18:17What does that mean?
18:18It's probably alien for welcome to our planet.
18:21What if it means,
18:22look out, there's a monster coming up to get you?
18:24No, it'll mean...
18:26Aaargh!
