00:01This is 29 Acacia Road, and this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an amazing double life.
00:08For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs.
00:15Eric is Banana Man, ever alert for the call to action.
00:27Once again, Banana fans, the forces of evil were on the march.
00:31Zooming in from outer space, a NERC battlecruiser grew closer and closer to the planet Earth.
00:40Chief O'Rolley.
00:41At is it.
00:42This is the International Space Observatory, Chief.
00:44We're tracking a space invader on a radio telescope.
00:46Its final orbit will put it in attack position within the Earth.
00:49Ah, well, you just tell me where, son.
00:51I shall send a constable along.
00:53A constable?
00:54Listen, Chief.
00:55This is King Zog's mothership, and he's got General Blight, dozens of NERC warriors, and a new secret weapon.
01:02This is a job for Banana Man.
01:04Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right.
01:05Don't get your telescope in a twist.
01:07You see, the thing is, the big fella is out on interstellar patrol right now.
01:11But, but, but, I shall get him on his two-way wrist radio.
01:16Ah, and they're somewhere in outer space, eh?
01:20That's not much to go on, Chief, but I'll do my best.
01:24Not long now, General Blight, and we shall reach attack position.
01:28And then, King Zog?
01:29And then, and then, we aim my new secret weapon at the planet Earth.
01:34For one split second, it will stop spinning.
01:38Gasp!
01:38And then, we'll start it off again, but anti-clockwise.
01:44I can see it now.
01:47Skyscrapers will tumble.
01:48Bath water will run down the plughole the opposite way.
01:52And clocks will go backwards.
01:55Precisely.
01:56And in that confusion, mon General, we shall take over.
02:01I've always said it, Zog.
02:04You're not just a pretty face.
02:06Thank God.
02:08Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
02:10I should be making contact just about now.
02:14And there it is.
02:16Look, mothership.
02:19And on your right, ladies and gentlemen, the constellation Orion, with its magnificent...
02:24Good grief.
02:26There's Bonornament.
02:27Quick, Max, fire a burst of artificial asteroids.
02:30As you command.
02:32O Patriarch of Pluto, Grand Vizier of Venus,
02:35second trombone of the Jupiter Jazz All-Star...
02:38Just press the button, Henry, right.
02:41Sorry.
02:48Oh, an asteroid star.
02:50Oh, it's ready.
02:51Oh, yes.
02:56Right, nerks, roll out the magnet.
02:59And switch on the current.
03:03Great, grilled bananas.
03:05Boss.
03:07Look, look at the Earth.
03:08It's slowing down.
03:11Bananaman's little pal was right.
03:12The Earth was indeed slowing down.
03:16Skyscrapers trembled.
03:19The police station was shaken.
03:22And Chief O'Reilly was alarmed.
03:24Hot, hot, hot.
03:27We've got to do something.
03:29Now, listen, boss.
03:30Listen very carefully.
03:31Unlike poles attract, light poles repel.
03:33If you say so, Crow.
03:35I just did.
03:37Now, what we need is a magnetic pole of our own to beat those nerves, right?
03:42Now, come here.
03:42Let's see what we're going to do.
03:50There you go.
03:51There you go.
03:52Oh, yes.
03:58Ah, here it is.
04:00The North Pole.
04:05There.
04:06In seconds, the Nurks were going to spin the Earth anti-club-wise.
04:10Could one lone space fighter stop them?
04:24Another close call, Crow.
04:26And I've saved the world again.
04:28How do I do it?
04:29Oh, I, uh, I think it's personal magnetism, boss.
04:33Ha, ha, ha, ha, personal magnetism.
04:36Ah, sometimes I think we're poles apart.
04:40Really?
04:40I think we're going to do it again.
04:47Bye.
04:47Bye.
04:48Bye.
04:54Bye.
04:59Bye.
05:03Bye.
05:05Bye.
05:05Bye.
05:06Bye.
05:08Bye.
05:09Bye.
