Two For The Price Of One Kate and Hawkeye test-drive the new Spacetank on the lunar surface in preparation for an assault on Zelda’s Martian complex. Unusually high solar flare activity is producing a powerful solar wind that provides cover for Spacehawk to approach Mars and land at a safe distance without alerting Zelda. Zero and Dix-Huit join Kate and Hawkeye aboard the Spacetank and they set off across the surface towards Zelda’s base. Meanwhile, Zelda and Yung-Star make preparations for the birth of Cy-Star’s baby in the Delivery Room, but when complications arise, Zelda calls for a crow-bar… Written by Kay Itstein Directed by Tony Lenny UK Broadcast Premiere: Saturday, 3rd May 1986 11.30am (ITV Network) |

Runaway After feeding Yung-Star with a special graphite sauce that acts as an undetectable bugging device, It-Star encourages Yung-Star to run away from home. As It-Star explains to Zelda, once Yung-Star arrives on Earth he will soon be captured, handed over to the Terrahawks and taken to Hawknest, enabling them to pinpoint the location of the Terrahawk base. Sure enough, when Yung-Star walks into the Pete’s For Eats diner in Badwater County, the Terrahawks are alerted and arrangements are made to collect the android and ferry him to Hawknest. However, Tiger is suspicious of Yung-Star’s motives and recognises an alternative course of action when he is contacted by a film producer.
