Lift Off

- Season 2

(1992)

Arguing over EC's role in a game, Poss and Kim pull the doll apart. Nipper tries to fix EC but to no avail. Jenny suggests Ricardo could help. With EC fixed, the children play but ban Poss and Kim until they learn to play cooperatively.

Ted gives Poss a treasured concertina that becomes the centre of an argument with her classmates.

The kids have turned an old warehouse into their own "Zip Zap Theatre". Kim is dismayed to find out the warehouse is going to be sold - and worse - her mother is the real estate agent.

Nipper is grumpy because he's losing at Monopoly. Aku would prefer to play with EC instead. But Nipper grabs EC and locks the doll away. When Nipper finds that he's left out of everything he shares EC with Aku and the friends are reunited.

Poss's cousin Jemma comes to stay. Poss and Jemma look identical and play a trick on Mr. Fish. While they look the same they are certainly different underneath. Snap and Turbo solve a baked bean and spaghetti puzzle.

Paul takes on the job of looking after Mr. Clark's cockatoo. Tiny escapes causing Paul some anxious moments. When Mr. Clark arrives to pick up Tiny there are two cockatoos. Which one is Tiny?

Poss, Nipper and Max visit Grandma and Grandpa's farm. They go on a treasure hunt, eat Grandpa's cherry pie and Nipper gets a tummy ache from too many cherries.

Kim and Poss enjoy swimming in the pool at the Stinson's until Kim is pushed under. Kim comes to terms with her fears with Lotis' help and dives under water.

Nipper invents an invisible friend to protect him from the scary stormy nights. Snap, Turbo, Paul and Aku visit a movie studio to make some repairs. Nipper finds out he doesn't need any equipment to create his illusion.

Poss breaks a new lamp that was to be Jenny's birthday gift from Ted. It can't be repaired so Snap and Turbo make a new base modelled on EC. Ted is bewildered as to how this change came about.

Turbo is in charge of the cooking for a surprise party for the Garcia's to celebrate the anniversary of their arrival in Australia.

Paul hurts himself when he falls out of a tree into Kim and Aku's mud pies. Mr. Fish feels sick but gets little sympathy from the children as they head for the hospital.

Paul makes a telephone from two cans and a string so they can talk to Kim.

Poss forgets to relay a message to her Dad about a recording session. When she finally remembers it is too late, or is it? A power failure delays the session and Ted makes it just in time.

Paul sees a bird that he thinks is an Ibis. He is determined to track it down. With help from the Aboriginal craftsman, Windaru, Paul learns about Ibis and their habits and, with Max and EC, Paul finds where the Ibis are nesting.

Kim and Poss are making a video about the city. They meet Murlo the magician who is looking for something he's lost. The magician's spells all seem to go wrong. But with help from EC, Kim and Poss, a lost dog is returned to its owner.

Poss and Kim are being unusually helpful at home because tomorrow, after school, they have tickets to the funpark. Max and Paul, to keep an eye on the girls, go along dressed as Count Dracula and a skeleton.

Paul and Max go to the Polly Woodside, a fully restored iron barge, and accidentally break an old lamp. They set about finding a replacement before Mrs. Foster discovers the damage.

Max, Paul and Kim find an old black and white movie camera. Lotis takes them back to the 1920's and they star in a silent movie. It's funny but even EC starts to look a bit like Charlie Chaplin.

Poss and Kim seek to make new friends at school. Sally, Janine and Gia trick Poss into wearing her pyjamas to school. The teacher helps Poss understand that real friends don't make you pass tests, they accept you for yourself.

Ted and Nipper, Poss and Kim go on a fishing trip. While Ted tries to catch fish, the kids meet Mary, a painter who lives in the bush.

Max wants a bike of his own, but his parents can't afford it. The other kids, with help from Snap and Turbo, build a bike out of old and recycled parts. Max is thrilled when the kids surprise him with their present.

Turbo returns from overseas with a poncho, a gift from a girl.

Poss buys a new scrunchy for her hair and then loses it at school. The scrunchy is found and after being used in many unusual situations is spotted by Nipper who returns it to its rightful owner.

Nipper hurts his knee playing in a vacant lot. The kids decide to clean up the lot and turn it into a playground. The Council approves their plans, and everyone rallies to help. After lots of hard work, the playground is wonderful fun.

Kim is chosen to write her own song and sing it at the school concert.
