00:10We are the Pilgrim's Master. We shall go always a little further. It may be beyond that last blue mountain
00:18barred with snow, across that angry or that glimmering sea.
00:30We are the Pilgrim.
01:00Talking in three zero seconds, Elliot. Roger, Lima Zulu, one. Twenty seconds. Talking arm activated.
01:08What I'm trying to say is, the humankind did not come to Jupiter just because it's a good place to
01:13manufacture liquid hydrogen.
01:15Pilgrimage to a million stars.
01:18A romantic view. But in this case, the right view.
01:24What are you doing in Jupiter's system? Did you come all this way?
01:30Seven hundred million kilometers just to orbit a dead moon every five hours?
01:36Some of you are here because your astonishing abilities justify bringing you out from Earth.
01:41Some because your parents happen to be working in Jupiter's system.
01:45I hope you all have ideals.
01:48I hope you all want to dedicate yourselves to the future of space exploration.
01:55I hope none of you have come to Jupiter's system just to lounge around drinking Callisto Cokes and worrying about
02:01hairstyles.
02:04I hope you all consider yourselves crusaders in a noble cause.
02:11Locking off, Elliot.
02:13Roger, Lima Zulu, one. Welcome to the happy hour.
02:22Victoria, I'm Rosemary Greenwood, the bursar, the one who wrote to you about your place here.
02:27Welcome to Columbus College.
02:29Isn't this all you, dear?
02:30It's all I was allowed without paying for excess.
02:32Anyway, we had an extra cash.
02:34Well, not to worry.
02:37Come on, let's get you settled in.
02:38Most of the students are at Finbo's science discussion group.
02:41And Finbo Lewis's first officer is very enthusiastic.
02:47Professor Brelin.
02:48Mr. Lewis.
02:50The more you talk about the expedition to Parkinson's style, the more fascinating it sounds.
02:55Now, I know you've always hoped to recruit your crew in the Jupiter system.
02:58If you know that, you know more than I do.
03:00Well, many of us wonder how many places are still available.
03:03One or two.
03:07Well, how many here would go?
03:09How many here would go on the greatest adventure of all?
03:13Oh, man's first ever starship mission.
03:17Man's first journey to the stars.
03:19I would.
03:20I'd go.
03:22And I think I'd take you, Miss McBride.
03:25Well, that's it.
03:27Never mind Parkinson's star.
03:29I've got to catch the shuttle back to Space City.
03:31Well, I'd like to thank Professor Brelin for addressing this, the last of my science discussion groups for the year
03:362049.
03:38And to assure him that not only Fiona, but everybody aboard Columbus College would be honoured to join the Daedalus
03:4510 expedition.
03:46And we hope the year 2050 brings it to fruition.
03:50Thank you, Professor Brelin.
03:51Perhaps if somebody made an effort with him.
03:53Professor Brelin?
03:55Fimbo.
03:55Oh, no way.
03:57It's New Year's Eve.
03:58The only boy on the ship I haven't kissed is Timmy.
04:06Civic Orange would like to chock.
04:08Card in front.
04:10Please refer to bank.
04:11I don't want to spoil anyone's fun.
04:13Doesn't sound like it.
04:15I've never claimed to be a dancing man.
04:16Oh, but Fimbo, this is the ilia.
04:18A dancing man would be wonderful.
04:19Yeah, a dancing man would be out of this world.
04:22But we're realists.
04:24Scientists.
04:25Rationalists.
04:26You do claim to be a man, Fimbo.
04:30I'll dance, I'll dance.
04:34Pacific Orange invited job.
04:36Debit February 2015.
04:38Card invalid.
04:39Please refer to bank.
04:41There's no use looking at it, Timmy.
04:43You're only torturing yourself.
04:45This is Victoria Frobisher,
04:46who's studying chemistry and biotechnology.
04:48Isn't that right, Victoria?
04:50This is Timothy Shaw, computer science first year.
04:53Right.
04:54Now, what haven't I shown you?
04:55The dome.
04:56Rosie, either the computer accepts my grandmother's recipe for haggis,
05:00or I resign from the refectory committee forthwith.
05:03You know.
05:03Not even a computer can simulate a sheep's stomach out of a soya bean.
05:07Well, I've given her an alternatum.
05:08Haggis by 1800 hours.
05:10Oh, she's had it.
05:11Nobody wants haggis.
05:12Nobody will eat haggis.
05:14Is it Scottish night or isn't it?
05:17Timmy, show Victoria the dome.
05:19There's a love.
05:20Then take her to your sister's room and introduce her.
05:22Right, Fiona, let's go and have a look at some menus.
05:25What about shortbread?
05:26Everyone eats shortbread.
05:27Have your parents just come out?
05:29My dad.
05:30My parents are split up.
05:31Oh, that's how it is these days.
05:33It's something to do with the life we eat and the food we eat.
05:36The science discussion group was about the expedition to Parkinson's staff.
05:41Finbo's desperate to get a place on it, but so far isn't having much luck.
05:44In fact, the only person from Columbus College who has been offered a place is...
05:48Oh, me?
05:51The offer came this morning from Professor Breland.
05:56We've had about 500 applications, of course, but it seems I've got the right psychological profile.
06:01I'm unmarried, got no children.
06:03A bit young, but that's no grave disadvantage on a 12-year voyage.
06:08It's the first ever starship, and it's being built out here over Jupiter.
06:12Fiona McBride says it's a noble adventure for heroes.
06:15But others reckon it's 12 years locked in a loony bin with mad-bearded scientists.
06:19And that's only the women.
06:23I expect that'll make Susie laugh.
06:27Give my love, if you see her.
06:31Professor Breland's coming up from Space City tomorrow.
06:34I think he wants an answer straight away.
06:42I'm going to meet him once a month when he comes down to Space City on leave.
06:45What does your dad do, then?
06:47He's a technician on the Helium-3 ship.
06:49You're going to save up for three years and then buy a farm in Provence.
06:52That Helium-3 stuff sounds a bit dangerous, if you ask me.
06:55Not really.
06:56I mean, nothing's dangerous if you're careful, and he's promised to be the most careful man in the U.
07:00Oh, God!
07:02Oh!
07:03Um, this is Victoria.
07:04I'm showing her around.
07:06Hello.
07:07Oh, I think you're showing room with me and Sarah Robinson.
07:09Hey, Timmy, you don't want to show Victoria somewhere else, hmm?
07:12Yeah, see you later.
07:13Bye-bye, Timmy.
07:14Bye.
07:16That's my sister.
07:17She's been going out with him for nearly a year.
07:19What do you mean, going out?
07:20I mean, going out where?
07:21There's nowhere to go out, is there?
07:23This is going out.
07:24What?
07:24The dome.
07:25When you come here, it's called going out.
07:27There'll be tears, I expect.
07:29Jean-Francois's going back to Earth next week.
07:31Oh, I wish I was.
07:33Nothing.
07:35Nobody cares.
07:36Out of sight, out of mind.
07:38Mine's for the Bob.
07:39Good old Bob.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Three brothers in Highland Terrier, and not one of them bothers to say Happy New Year, Hurley.
07:46He's been asked to a party with a girl called Glenda Albright, but he's going to stay in and mug
07:52up for his accountancy part two papers.
07:54Good old Bob.
07:55Yeah.
07:55Well, that's it.
07:57I'm going to dedicate my life to Thimbo Lewis.
08:00Hurley.
08:01You know, perhaps I'll marry him and become like one of those awful women in space wives.
08:05Can you say something here that's very peculiar?
08:07Something really odd.
08:09Good talk, was it?
08:11Deedle is ten.
08:12Everybody's very interested.
08:14Oh, he is.
08:16You still haven't heard?
08:17Countdown, please, Elliot.
08:19No.
08:19Countdown in five in Lima Sulu.
08:21Who's this bloke I once met at Moon Station?
08:23Clever chap, psychiatrist or something.
08:26Worked on the javelin survivors in that government loony bin in Frankfurt.
08:31They're still there, most of them.
08:33Did you know that?
08:35Anyway, he reckoned the first one went loopy after four months.
08:42Disorientated.
08:44Overpowered by the enormity of it all.
08:46This bloke kept asking over and over.
08:50What's beyond the furthest star?
08:53We're going past the furthest star.
08:58Drivel, of course.
09:00They're only supposed to go a light year toward the nearest star.
09:04But once he started, the rest just crumbled.
09:09Crushed they were.
09:11Crushed by the enormity of it all.
09:27All I can say, Elliot, is if they'll have me on the Daedalus 10 mission, I will be proud to
09:32go.
09:32Oh, yes.
09:33Well, if they'd have me, I'd be proud to go.
09:36I remember when they offered me third mate on the Mars job.
09:40Tubby Wainwright and Giuseppe Poccolato in the mission to spacemen on Great Portland Street.
09:45There's a malfunction in the map screen.
09:46Sector Delta 4507.
09:48I'll have to send an engineer up.
09:50Well, it's got to mean something, hasn't it?
09:52Prepare for a big surprise on Thursday.
09:55A big surprise.
09:56I mean, how can he surprise me when he's in Nottingham and I'm in the Jupiter system?
10:00I keep telling you, he's found someone else.
10:03I mean, we all know what men are, don't we?
10:05Oh, well, thanks a lot.
10:07Are you Victoria Frobisher?
10:09Yes.
10:09Oh, well, I'm Sarah and this is her Linda.
10:11She's in the room next door.
10:13Welcome to the madhouse.
10:14Um, look, I'm sorry I'm not feeling very well.
10:17You don't happen to have an aspirin or anything, do you?
10:20Aspirin?
10:21I'll get Rosie or Pierce to come and look at you.
10:23I don't want anybody to look at me!
10:25Well, I'm sorry, but any illness in space has to be reported.
10:29Look, I just want an aspirin.
10:32Somebody please help me.
10:35Look, all I said was that I had a headache and I wanted an aspirin.
10:38Look, I'm not as young as I look, honestly.
10:40He's done five years at Guy's Hospital.
10:42Licensed to date blood samples throughout the galaxy.
10:44Well, you're not taking mine.
10:46Thanks for the vote of confidence.
10:51Victoria, Medicom can't create an antibody without a sample of your blood.
10:54Well, it can't have a sample of my blood.
10:56God, you've been in space for nine months.
10:58We can't afford to take risks.
11:01Aspirin, paracetamol.
11:02God, you'd think I was demanding heroin.
11:05Look, we don't have aspirin or paracetamol or antibiotics.
11:09In that case, leave me alone, will you?
11:12And tell those two creeps outside to stay outside.
11:15You know, I don't think I'm going to enjoy sharing with her.
11:17I don't think she's got a very sunny disposition.
11:20Yeah, there's a bed free in my study.
11:21Yeah, but you snore, Helinda.
11:24I do not.
11:25Yes, you do.
11:26That's why Jenny moved out.
11:28If she's got a space virus, it could be all over the ship.
11:30Look, I don't suppose for one minute she's got a space virus.
11:32You don't know, Piers.
11:34Well, we can't test of her viral DNA without a genetic fingerprint,
11:36and Lord knows where it is.
11:38I'll get on to medical centre.
11:39All right.
11:40Can I have a word with you girls, please?
11:42Can't we go in then, Rosie?
11:43Just a quick word first.
11:44Won't take a minute.
11:47She's very upset, but Piers doesn't think she's physically ill,
11:50just very unhappy and depressed.
11:51Well, as you know, it can often take time to settle down after the voyage out.
11:55Oh, well, I thought I'd go bonkers in that module.
11:57And my mum was screaming at my dad,
11:59never again, you old basket!
12:01Yes, well, Victoria's now nearly 700 million kilometres away from her mother,
12:07her friends, everyone she's ever known in life,
12:09except for her father, and he's gone to the Helium-3 plant.
12:13Men.
12:14Men.
12:15Men.
12:17Try and talk to her.
12:19Try and get her to come along to the party later,
12:21but don't push it and be gentle with her, okay?
12:23All right.
12:24Okay, Rosie.
12:24Right, I'll get her.
12:28You know Fiona's trying to teach Petra
12:30how to make a haggis.
12:32There's a call going through at 23.50 for James Bromage,
12:36and he wants to take it here for some reason.
12:38That's all right, I'll wait.
12:39It's the party.
12:41Shame.
12:43Oh, Thimber.
12:45I hope I didn't put you off earlier
12:47when we were talking about the Daedalus mission.
12:49I don't think anything could put me off.
12:52No, of course not.
12:54I remember when I had the lust for adventure
12:57a long time ago.
13:05Space City Control.
13:07Will you please look now at Sector Delta 4507
13:11and then tell me I'm going off my head?
13:19What are you doing, greedy boy?
13:22Money, my own business.
13:24You know it won't give you anything till March.
13:26Boys are so greedy.
13:28Look, there'll be plenty to eat at the party, too.
13:30Yeah, you better not get anybody to buy when you're bad,
13:32because if you go buying any more credit,
13:34you'll be in real trouble.
13:39Fungus bum.
13:41Pardon?
13:42I didn't say anything.
13:44No.
13:45It's sometimes hard to believe that he's Melody's brother.
13:47Yeah.
13:48His metabolism seems quite different.
13:49And his brain.
13:51Yeah.
13:51Well, Melody hasn't got much of a brain.
13:53He's got a brain of a criminal.
14:05Not exactly aspirin.
14:07A bit more advanced.
14:09You mustn't worry about Rosie.
14:11She's a good bursa,
14:12and like all good bursas,
14:13she worries about her flock.
14:15You've got to remember what can happen
14:16with an epidemic on a ship like this,
14:18with the air recycled every six hours.
14:20Something like space virus.
14:21If you told me I had space virus,
14:22do you know what I'd do?
14:23No.
14:24I'd laugh.
14:25Well, I should rather like to see you laugh.
14:29Thanks.
14:30If you did have space virus, eh,
14:32you'd kill all of us.
14:34You'd kill all of us.
15:10I wondered if he'd sent me anything on the Valencia.
15:13You know, a dead rose or something.
15:15Well, I don't mean just dead.
15:16A pressed flower.
15:17That wouldn't weigh much.
15:19But the Valencia isn't used on the 13th,
15:21and he definitely says I should prepare for a surprise on Thursday.
15:25I mean, it's not as if it's like him.
15:27He's always been very prosaic.
15:29If I was to hint to him about him sending me a pressed flower,
15:31you'd want to know why he should send a dead rose 400 million miles.
15:35Where did you get that from?
15:36Get what from?
15:37There, in your hand behind your back.
15:39You're supposed to be banned from chocolate bars.
15:42You're supposed to be signed on with a Chocoholics Anonymous.
15:45It's a present for my girlfriend, naturally.
15:47A surprise all the way from now,
15:48except I don't know what I'm on about it.
15:50Have you been at it again?
15:52You have, haven't you?
15:53You've been at it again.
15:56What do you think of this one?
15:57Give Sarah and Hilinda a dance.
15:58What?
15:59Be the gentleman.
16:00Come on, Piers.
16:02What's she dancing with him for?
16:04She's got a bloke.
16:05She's only got a bloke at the end of the week.
16:07You don't think she's...
16:08She can't be.
16:10Not already.
16:11She might not have much brain.
16:13There's nothing wrong with her predatory instincts.
16:15Well, now, Jean-Francois.
16:18The last night of the old year.
16:20It's a big time in France.
16:21Yeah, well, they knock it back a bit in Nottingham.
16:24Are you glad to be going home?
16:25Oh, in some ways.
16:26I'm very sad to be leaving Melody.
16:28Yeah.
16:29She's sad to be seeing you go.
16:31I've got a calendar in my room.
16:33I cross off the days.
16:35Yeah, so does Melody.
16:36Come on.
16:50It was in Sector Delta 4507.
16:53A blackout.
16:5520 arc seconds squared across.
16:57Might have been more.
16:58It's hard to say.
16:59There's not much giving out light in that part of the galaxy.
17:01Well, perhaps a passing craft saturated the scanner.
17:04No other craft in vicinity, Space Center.
17:07Well, we didn't see anything.
17:09Here, you haven't been hitting the Glenfiddich early this year, have you?
17:13I don't think so, Space Center.
17:15Anyway, it's gone now.
17:17Well, yes, it's gone now.
17:21But there was clearly a malfunction, and as such, I am reporting it.
17:24What's the diagnosis?
17:26Well, the computer couldn't see anything, but there is definitely something there.
17:31Or rather not there, because I saw it.
17:35Or rather didn't see it, with my own eyes.
17:38Look, in half an hour, we've got our white heather knees up at Galtieris.
17:42Tomorrow, please.
17:45Wilco, Ilya.
17:47Happy New Year.
17:48And to you, Space Center.
17:51I have a call coming through from Earth.
17:53What's all that about?
17:54Common room calling Finbo Lewis.
17:57Petra.
17:58Finbo Lewis.
17:59Are you standing me up?
18:02Direct Earth call for James Bromwich.
18:05Arriving Jupiter system in 90 seconds.
18:08They were my grandmother's.
18:10She had them when she was a little girl, 60 or 70 years ago.
18:13She's kept all her stuff from when she was little.
18:15You know, records, dolls, everything.
18:17Proper magpie.
18:20We always said it was a good job she didn't have to come up to Jupiter.
18:23She'd have needed an interorbital liner just for her hand luggage.
18:28Have you got a bloke?
18:30No.
18:31Why?
18:32Well, it's what makes girls miserable when they have to leave their blokes behind.
18:36I've got a sort of an arrangement with my Bob.
18:38We still stay faithful and everything.
18:40Only he's allowed to go out with girls for half an hour once every third leap year.
18:45I was just joking.
18:46He can go out in a group, you know, dancing and that was great.
18:48Look, if you want to go to the party, it's all right.
18:54How's your head?
18:55I just need to rest.
18:58Quietly.
18:59Oh, come on, Victoria.
19:00It's nearly midnight.
19:02You don't want to see the new year on your own?
19:04My dad will be thinking of me.
19:06He's not far away after all, is he?
19:08I mean, the Helium-3 ship's only just on the other side of Ganymede.
19:13We promised we'd think of each other on the stroke of midnight.
19:17I'll be okay.
19:20Look, I said I'll be okay.
19:22Come on.
19:23What?
19:23Where?
19:24Somewhere on our own.
19:25I don't want to sing Au Lang Syne.
19:27I want to kiss you.
19:29Melody?
19:30Who did you kiss Victoria Frobisher, the new girl?
19:33Is that Melody?
19:34Who is she with?
19:35Jean-Francois, of course.
19:37Who else?
19:38Oh, well, I'm with the Motley.
19:39Sarah, is Victoria all right?
19:42Her mum's went off with a social worker from Brent Cross.
19:45Her dad's on the Helium-3 plant.
19:46She hasn't got any brothers and sisters and she wishes she was dead.
19:49Oh, well, I knew it was something like that.
19:53Oi, Timmy.
19:54Come and dance.
19:58You'll forget me.
20:00Five minutes, son.
20:01Five minutes?
20:02You'll be lucky.
20:04Oh, Jean-Francois.
20:05Oh, Melody.
20:06Darling.
20:08I'll think of you every day till the seas run dry.
20:12And the rockies crumble.
20:15I love you, Melody.
20:17I know.
20:19Partir.
20:21C'est mourir un peu.
20:23Oh, God.

20:30through very carefully on this one.
20:34I know that when you're out in space, there can be a strange love of space.
20:39Remember what Prince Faisal said to Lawrence.
20:42The English have a love of desolate places.
20:46Well, there's nowhere as desolate as deep space.
20:50But you can't stay in space.
20:52You have to get back to real life.
20:56Your mother and I feel it will be the most terrible mistake of your life.
21:02James, there'll be no turning back from Daedalus 10.
21:06You'll go onward and onward, year after year after year.
21:38You'll go in and onward.
22:04Sounds good to me.
