00:01This is 29 Acacia Road, and this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an amazing double life.
00:08But when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs.
00:16Eric is Banana Man, ever alert for the call to action.
00:31Chief O'Reilly here, Eric. Now listen, General Blight and Dr. Gloom have just been sighted at the funfair.
00:36But I can't spare one single solitary man to go and see what those villains are up to, because my
00:41entire force is down at the football club.
00:43Is there a riot, Chiefie?
00:44No, they're playing football.
00:47Don't worry, I'll look into it. But my cousin Samantha is staying with us. I'll have to take her along.
00:53Meanwhile, at the funfair, the regular staff were unable to sell candy floss or collect tickets, as they were tied
00:59up.
01:00By General Blight and Dr. Gloom.
01:02There, that'll hold them. Now then, Doctor, the object of my latest plan is to utterly destroy the Acacia Road
01:10police station and Banana Man.
01:13There is my engine of destruction.
01:17Oh, great bouncing bananas.
01:20A helter-skelter? You know, General, it looks almost like a rocket.
01:25It is a rocket. A rocket so deadly, even I hesitate to use it. But not for long.
01:33You see, that innocent-looking helter-skelter is filled with porridge. Thick, lumpy porridge.
01:41Ugh! Imagine! Acacia Road, the police station, all buried in thick, lumpy porridge. Ugh!
01:49You're not serious, are you?
01:50Indeed I am. And my preparations are almost complete.
01:55That test-your-strength machine is our ignition system. It's set for outer space.
02:00But as soon as the coast is clear, I'll change it to the Acacia Road police station and we'll start
02:07the countdown.
02:09Meanwhile, you'll make sure no-one interferes with my plan.
02:14Ooh, Eric, I'm so excited. Which ride shall we start with?
02:19Elmo, the ghost train.
02:21Tickets, get your tickets here for the ghost train.
02:24You do scare easily. He's only the ticket collector.
02:38Oh, no!
02:41Oh, Eric. Yes, sir?
02:44It's so lovely. It's so lovely.
02:46Do you want to be alone, my young friends? I am a sleeping car attendant.
02:51Good-bye, Eric.
02:53A sleeping car attendant on a ghost train.
02:56And he knew your name, Eric.
02:59Of course. I should have recognized that voices. That didn't bloom.
03:05I shall be gone for a few minutes, but don't worry. You'll be safe.
03:09Now, I must eat a banana.
03:12A banana at a time like this?
03:17I shall just leave for this rail, a position, and they won't stand.
03:22A ghost at your...
03:24Oh, no, you don't.
03:26Dr. Gloody.
03:27It's time you made a spirited exit.
03:35What seems to be the problem, men?
03:37I woke up.
03:38He usually tests the machine to make sure it's working, see.
03:42Oh, it's not working.
03:43Oh, God.
03:44Dear, dear, dear.
03:45Give that man a coming toy and send him out.
03:47Now, listen. Why don't you have a go, eh?
03:49Mind if I have a go?
03:51We shall have thought of my daughter.
03:53Huh?
03:54Huh?
03:56Oh.
03:58Oh, my God.
04:01Oh, my God.
04:02And so the giant rocket, with its deadly cargo of lumpy porridge, zoomed off into space,
04:09destined to wander amongst distant galaxies, never to return to Earth.
04:25There you are, Eric. I thought you were lost.
04:28Oh, no, Sam. I was...
04:30Help!
04:32Now who scares me into the sea?
04:35Help!
04:37Help!
04:38Help!
