Nick & Perry

This episode tells the story of Nick and Perry’s crash landing on Earth and their first impressions of future life on Earth. During night, while little Lucy is dreaming of her birthday, a space capsule crashes into the garden and embeds itself into the ground. The scientists in the observatory miss this event, but not suspicious Mr. Smith. He knows something fishy has happened over there. However, he doesn’t see the two alien dogs creeping out – Nick & Perry! They make a reconaissance patrol, meet the other dogs and get into trouble with Butch. As they flee back to the garden, they run into a happy Lucy who thinks the dogs are her father’s birthday present for her. Frank allows the dogs to stay.

While observing Lucy playing with her talking doll, Nick and Perry are led to believe that it is a robot that controls humans. Perry sees the strange way in which Lucy “obeys” the doll. To get to the secret of this robot, he does some vivisection on it. As he presents his results to the dogs in the park, they warn him that breaking a doll is the worst sin possible. And the voice is gone! It will take a complicated operation involving a doll and the TV set to save the day before Lucy is back.

Nick and Perry become infested with fleas. However, the fleas have a strange reaction to alien skin and it's not long before the place is over run with monster sized fleas. This is especially problematic since Perry has constructed his first escape podule and the countdown is running. Unbeknown to Frank & Lucy Nick tries to save the day, while the army of Fleas has taken to Mr. Smith's house...

Episode told in flashback. N&P are in a spaceship, poised to take off. What has happened? Earlier that day, Perry believes that Lucy’s fairytale comic book is a history book. Through the misreading of this book they get trapped in the sewers, as they believe it to be a gateway between two worlds. Our friends struggle through the dark corridors, nearly getting run over by underground trains, wiped away by sewage water (which they believe to be from the “fountain of youth”). Finally, they find the “Gateway” (the tube station) and make it into the space ship (which turns ot to be a rattling children’s toy in front of the tube station).

Perry has invented a time travel device to send them back in time to before they crash landed on Earth. Nick tries it out in a very unprofessional way (to charm Sophia and to bully Butch). Finally, Mr. Smith snatches the thing from the dog. This gives him the prime opportunity to expose them for what they. As he tries to convince the scientists in a laboratory, the humans all get caught in a time loop. How will the dogs get the time machine back?

Nick and Perry follow Lucy to school, Perry hoping to get some ‘higher learning’ as this will take you “anywhere – even to the moon” (overheard from Frank). He is fascinated with the school lab. Nick, meanwhile, listens in on a fairytale and proceeds to convince Perry that the frogs in the lab are really Princes and Princesses waiting to be set free. The frogs get out, havoc ensues, and Perry needs all his countenance to finish the fuel for the rocket that stands in the school yard...
