Space Disaster Prank Patrol Down Under

Today, Chantal joins the Prank Patrol.

Her mission, to take her best friend Isabella

and transform her into a space pilot extraordinaire.

When the chips are down, and the international space station

is damaged by asteroids, only Isabella can save the day.

# Here they come, they're on a roll

# Where they'll strike nobody knows

# If you have a point to prove

# They'll make a plan and see it through

# They'll sign you up to join their crew

# Scotty and the Ninjas too

# Here we go - come on, join the Prank Patrol. #

Houston. We're looking for the prankster.

That's our prankster.

-Hey, are you Chantal?

-Yes.

-Did you apply for Prank Patrol?

-Yes.

Congratulations. You're the newest member of Prank Patrol.

I'm astronaut Tweedy or Scotty as other people know me. You need that.

That's your pass to prank. You'll also need this. Hang on! Jacket!

Thank you! All the way from space. That's your Prank Patrol jacket.

-Mum, here you go, I'm Scotty. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

We want to go pranking. Is that OK with you?

-Sure, go for it.

-Good stuff. Ready to go?

-Yeah.

-Let's get to it.

I'll leave you with this, Mum.

-All right. See ya!

-See ya.

This is Chantal.

She's a keen astronomer who loves playing piano

and keeping fit any way she can.

I need your help to prank my friend Isabella.

We've been good friends for a while and I think it's time to prank her.

Please help me!

The target of Chantal's prank

is her friend Isabella.

Isabella loves to hula-hoop and play shop

and she also has not one but two pet bluetongue lizards.

Chantal, welcome to the Prank Patrol spy.

Great to have you here now. What can we do for you?

-You need the dog washed?

-No.

-Clean your car?

-No.

-Clean your room?

-No.

-What do you want?

-For you to prank my friend.

Yes, of course. That all makes sense.

-So who's your friend?

-Isabella.

-So why do you want to prank her?

-Just for fun.

-Just to see her reaction?

-Yes.

-Will it be funny?

-Yes, definitely.

We need to come up with how we're going to prank Isabella.

So what's she into? What can we use for the prank?

She's sporty, she likes astronomy...

-Astronomy?

-Yes.

-She'd like a space prank?

-Definitely.

Check out this prank we've got in our top-secret Prank Patrol files.

-I reckon it's going to be the one for Isabella.

-OK.

Don't worry, this is my ninja mail.

Let's skip along here. It's always really stupid.

Scotty is learning to speak coconuts?

See? Pretty stupid. Who speaks coconut?

'Coco. Coco. Coconut.'

They've got footage again!

'Coco noco toco Scotty.'

COCONUT SCREAMS

-Hey! Is it something I said?

-Don't you have any friends?

I'm trying to learn coconut

so when I see coconut trees I can speak coconut.

There aren't coconut trees in Australia.

OK. Well, where were we?

Oh yes, the prank.

So this is the prank I thought would be awesome.

Space disaster.

We'll send the two of you along to interview

a real life space astronaut at the International Space Centre.

-How does that sound?

-Sounds cool.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity there.

So when the two of you're there, at the space centre,

Isabella is going to discover a space anomaly

which turns out to be an asteroid shower.

-Do you know what that is?

-A shower of asteroids?

How did you know? I didn't know what that was.

Then the two of you are going to interview the astronaut

that turns out to be rather wacky,

and then Isabella is going to save the day by landing the space centre

before that wacky astronaut comes crashing into the space centre.

-Sounds good.

-That's the prank.

Awesome for Isabella. What do you think?

-Perfect.

-You reckon she'll get a big reaction

-when the astronaut comes landing in?

-Definitely.

-Chantal, I'm excited for this. You are?

-Yes.

We better get into it, so, Ninjas! Let's roll!

This prank is going to be, quite literally, out of this world.

So to make sure that it doesn't crash and burn,

we're going to need to experience what it feels like

to be in outer space.

-Hey, Scotty, are you all right?

-Hey, Brook.

I was just pretending we were in outer space, no gravity. That biz.

-Chantal, Brook, Brook, Chantal.

-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

Brook is an expert when it comes to aerial antigravity rigs

and training with that sort of stuff.

Why don't you tell her what you're doing for your prank?

We're going to prank my friend into believing that she's talking

to a real-life astronaut, and we need to make it really convincing.

OK. That we can help with.

Two options.

-One, we can all go to outer space.

-Yeah!

-Yes!

-Don't know if it's in the budget, though.

-Fair enough.

Second option, though, is I can put you up in the bungee system

and you can feel like you're on the moon.

We'll do big jumps, weightlessness and it's a lot of fun.

-Sounds good.

-Second option it is, I think. Let's go check it out.

This goes at the back and your legs go through. Big breath in.

-Three, two, one. Go.

-Whee!

-Very nice.

-Last one.

-This is one of the easiest things I've ever seen in my life.

-You want a go!

-Let's see when you're in the harness!

I'm just saying, it looks very easy.

-Ready to go.

-Let's see how easy you think it is.

-Piece of cake.

-Legs.

-Yeah.

HE SCREAMS

I think I want to get down!

I just...I just want to get down.

-Please, let me down. Let me down.

-Is that enough?

HE PANTS

-You're all right. Let me undo you.

-That was easy. Oh, I feel sick.

Latest Prank Patrol member Chantal

is out to bamboozle her best friend Isabella with a space station stunt.

She's experienced some anti-gravity high jinks,

all she needs now is some convincing sound effects

and this prank is ready for lift-off.

-G'day.

-G'day, Scott. How are you?

-Very well, thanks.

-Chantal, this is Gary.

-Nice to meet you.

-How are you?

-Good, thanks.

Gary is an aircraft maintenance engineer and he also instructs

so I thought he'd be the best person to talk to about loud noise

for your prank. Why don't you tell him what we're doing?

We're bringing my friend Isabella to a space control centre

and we going to let her land a space centre

before a crazy astronaut crashes into it.

-Wow, that sounds great.

-So, Gary,

we were wondering, we need sounds so believable that Isabella believes

an aircraft has landed outside our prank room.

All aircraft have engines and they make a lot of noise.

How about we take you on an aircraft and talk about noise?

-Sure.

-Sounds good.

So, Gary, I take it we're going in the cockpit?

I'm so excited. I've been looking forward to this for a while.

I've always wanted to go in a cockpit. Captain Tweedie!

Sorry to burst your bubble, Scotty, but there's only two seats

so it's cabin class for you. Chantal...

SCOTTY WAILS

So, Chantal, here we are in the cockpit.

-So how do we make the noise?

-We move these levers forward.

-These are called the throttles.

-Cool.

-What that does,

it speeds up our engines which then

-makes a lot more noise.

-OK. Cool.

-Can we try?

-Go ahead. But before you do, you'll need these.

-Oh, OK.

-Don't eat them.

-Are you ready?

-Yup!

ENGINES ROAR

Latest prank patrol member Chantal

is about to trick her best friend Isabella

with a space prank that is out of this world.

But will a wacky astronaut and some spaceship special effects

be enough to catch our target

or will this whole prank burn up on re-entry?

OK, Chantal, we've got everything sorted for your prank

but we just need to give Isabella a call

and make sure she's cool to come along.

I'm going to tell her

that one of Dad's clients invited me along to this space cadet programme.

-Do you reckon she'll buy it?

-I should think so, yes.

-Okey-dokey.

Now it's time to give her a call, so best of luck.

I'll talk to you at the other side of the phone call. Fingers crossed.

PHONE RINGS

-'Hello?'

-Hey, Bella, it's Chantal here.

-'Hi.'

-One of dad's clients

invited me along to this space cadet programme thing

and he was wondering if I could bring a friend

and I chose you if you want to come along.

'Yeah, sounds like fun.'

-I'll see you tomorrow.

-'OK.'

Bye.

-SCOTTY LAUGHS

-Well done.

How do you reckon that went?

-Pretty good, pretty good.

-Do you reckon she's suspicious at all?

-I hope not. I don't think so.

-Put it there. Well done. Good job.

We are all good to go for your prank.

There's only one more thing we need to do.

It's time to release the Ninjas.

The blueprint for Chantal's cosmic space prank is...

one Russian cosmonaut,

some space anomalies, a satellite dish for our prankee to control,

and for the big finale, a spaceship crash-landing back to Earth.

It's prank time.

-Hi.

-Hello.

Chantal's mum has dropped the target of the prank off

at our bogus space centre.

Looks like Isabella is ready to go.

You girls are here as part of the space cadet programme, is that right?

-Yeah.

-OK. So one of those each. Just pop them on.

I think that's the cue to introduce

our number one space centre scientist

to our number one space centre target.

- Hi. - Hi, Bill.

We've got Isabella and Chantal.

-- Isabella. Chantal.

-Nice to meet you.

I'm Professor Bill Hallem.

Come on in to mission control, as we call it here.

Come on in.

Hello, Steve. Steve, this is Isabella and Chantal.

-Hi. Steve.

-So this is what we call the control centre.

We monitor the International Space Station

whenever it passes over the Southern Hemisphere.

We can monitor the communications, the navigation,

the engineering, the life support, and, at a pinch, in an emergency,

we actually can override the systems and remote-control the space station.

You guys don't want to hear me talk all day.

Let me give you hands-on experience.

You're about to log on to the space station.

-How long, Steve?

-Next two to three minutes.

We're going to get you guys to do some of the work for us. Grab a seat.

That's called hands-on work experience!

We're going to have to lock on

to the space station signal. STATIC

You hear this noise in the background?

We call that cosmic background radiation.

That's the noise that space makes the whole time.

In the midst of that, we have to pick out the space station signal.

To draw your attention to the controls we have -

when the screen comes on... OK.

If you want to go first, Chantal, just move the joystick.

First up, Chantal is going to show us

how bad she is at using the joystick.

-It takes skill and practice, I know.

-No, nothing moving.

-She's doing a terrible job!

-We might give Isabella a go.

-Good idea.

I have a feeling Isabella is going to be a natural.

Look how smoothly that dish is moving. She's great!

That's really good.

That is astounding. We didn't do that well on our first day.

-Wow.

-You are a natural, Isabella.

-Told you.

Time now to make things a little bit more interesting.

-What did you do?

-Hang on. I'm not getting anything.

-Ooops!

-Why has everything gone silent?

-Jiggle it back a bit.

STATIC

-It's back to normal.

-Phew.

That's amazing. You know what's hap...?

Oh, I...

You have found a space object.

A space object? Cool!

When something gets between the radar dish and space,

that's when you get the silence.

Silence never happens unless we find something.

-You found a space object. That is incredible.

-What do you think it is?

-Aliens?

-Did she say "aliens"?

She did!

Did you guys want to talk to an astronaut?

With the girls thinking about aliens,

it's time to introduce the next part of the prank.

I wonder what we have in store?

It's a Russian cosmonaut on there at the moment. Major Yuri Stravchenkov.

-I can never say his name right.

-Yuri?

-Yuri.

-OK.

I'll see if we can get him online now.

This is Professor William Hallem

at the Space Programme Australia Brisbane facility.

Major Yuri, on the International Space Station, do you hear me?

Hello, hello, Brisbane space centre.

This is Major Yuri on the International Space Station.

Yuri! How you going? Coming in mostly clear.

Isabella has completely bought it.

She thinks Yuri is on a space station,

when, in fact, he's just in the next room.

-Isabella and Chantal.

-You can call me Yuri.

You can ask me questions, I will tell you, OK?

OK. Just before we start, Yuri, we've just had a strange event happen

when we were tuning in to the space station.

-Basically, we found an anomaly. Steve has sent through the coordinates.

-OK.

The really incredible thing was

Isabella was moving the dish at the time.

-Isabella found an anomaly in space.

-Space cadet award!

-Come on!

This is Isabella.

OK, I'm putting the coordinates in now. You can ask me questions.

Please start.

-What type of things do you eat in space?

-Good question.

The food, don't tell anyone, but the food is not so good.

It's like airline food. Very bad food.

Sometimes it makes a gas problem for me.

-Did he say gas? Oh!

-FARTING

Space gas.

BOTH GIGGLE

-Sorry, sorry, girls. Sorry about that.

-Someone open a window.

That one will stay in my space cabin for long time.

-Do you play any games when you get bored?

-Astronauts and crosses.

We have chess and things like that. Russians love chess.

But I tell you what, maybe I can show you an interesting game.

-we can look at your house from space.

-Cool.

BOTH: Yeah.

OK, I need... What is the name of the suburb

you live in Brisbane? What name?

BOTH: Mansfield.

Mans...field. OK.

See if you can look at the image of Mansfield.

OK, we can zoom.

Check this out. Prank Patrol technology is so good,

we can even zoom through the roof.

Whoa, that's my house. That's my dad! That's my dad!

-I know.

-That's my dad!

Very strange guy.

Is he a rock and roll star?

-That's your dad.

-GIGGLING

What's he doing?

-Thank you, Yuri, for listening to those questions.

-Thank you.

Before you go, I've just been on to Jodrell Bank about the anomaly.

They're tracking something in your area. We need to get a sighting.

Time to crank this prank, and time for our cosmonaut to get

caught in the middle of a meteor shower.

ALARM BLARES

OK, that's no good. Ah... OK.

All right.

-There is a collision warning we've got down here.

-Uh-oh!

-Hang on.

-Put it through.

-OK.

-Yuri, what's happening up there?

Ah! Please to stand by.

-I think it's a...

-STEVE:

-OK, don't panic.

..meteor shower, asteroid shower.

-that can't be good.

-We have to move space station quickly.

The problem is, Steve is on the computer,

I'm on navigation engineering, we need a pilot.

I think we have just the right person to help out.

Isabella, she found the anomaly. She can do it.

You need to listen to me very carefully, OK?

Now, we need three people to help Yuri out.

You need to do the same thing with the joystick.

What's going to happen, we'll link you through to the screen here

and you have to keep Yuri...

-Grab the stick now.

-Do the same thing I did?

Basically, just keep the ship in the right orientation.

We're going to head him towards the safe zone. OK, Yuri?

-We need pilot, yes?

-OK, Yuri, can you give us the thrust?

-OK, I will give a 20-second thrust.

-Look at the screen.

We've got to get some picture back.

-You can do it, Isabella.

-OK, on the yellow line.

-Three, two, one.

-Keep on the yellow line.

-Maximum power.

-Come on, Isabella, you can do it.

-All you've got to do

is keep that little spaceship on that little line.

-You can do it.

-You're doing a good job.

Accelerating.

-ALARM BLARES

-Uh-oh. Alarms are never a good sign.

That's it. OK, Yuri,

Isabella's got you.

You're almost there.

-STEVE:

-12, 11...

Hang in there, Yuri! Isabella's got you.

-Just get across the line. STEVE:

-Five...

Please be advised, collision in four...

in three...

You did it! Woo-hoo! She did it!

Yuri, Isabella did it!

Isabella has saved the pretend space station. Genius.

You just steered the space station out of an asteroid storm.

-How awesome. How do you feel?

-Pretty good!

-A little bit scared.

-Scared? You were a natural.

We'll just checked the readings, make sure you're all safe, Yuri.

-Please do systems check.

-ALARM BLARES

-It's not over yet. No, siree.

-Life support!

-Not life-support, anything but.

-O2 is down. He's running out of oxygen.

With pretend life support pretend critically damaged

on the pretend space station, there's only one thing we can do -

try and pretend to land back to Earth.

ALL TALK AT ONCE

I'll check the readings.

I have no steering control, just the thrust power.

All we can do is try and get the re-entry engaged.

-OK, I need Isabella pilot for me.

-You can do it, Isabella!

It's almost exactly the same thing.

What you have to do this time is you have to bring the ship down.

-Down to Earth?

-Straight down, you've got to keep it on target.

-OK, Isabella's handling it, Yuri.

-OK.

Stay on target, Isabella. Stay on target.

ALARM BLARES

-What? Uh-oh!

-It's not your fault.

We are losing our connection with the computer.

Brace for impact!

I can see Australia!

I'm coming down. I'm coming down!

He's headed towards a populated area.

Oh, no.

-Crash landing.

-Is anyone pretend flying that thing? Anyone?!

Just do what you can, Isabella. Try as hard as you can.

CRASHING

That kind of sounds like the space station has crashed.

-In the next room!

-STEVE:

-SPA to Yuri. SPA to Yuri.

You OK? ISS has landed.

I repeat, ISS has landed. Stand by for more information.

Let's just get out of here. OK, keep close, keep together.

-There's a visitor for you, Isabella.

-Oh! Oh!

-Don't worry.

-You made it. How did you make it?

-Whoo!

-What kind of space parachute is that?

-Oh.

Hey, Chantal, do you want to tell Isabella what's going on?

You've just been taken in by Prank Patrol!

Isabella, you've just been pranked by Prank Patrol.

SCOTTY LAUGHS

-What did you think was going on?

-I don't know. I was like...

-I don't know.

-Did you think you were like the newest space cadet?

-Kind of, yeah.

-What was the weirdest bit for you in there?

Some seriously weird stuff was going on.

I was talking to him in space, that was so cool.

-Are you still going to be friends with Chantal after this?

-Yeah.

-Are you going to get her back?

-Definitely.

-Bigger and better?

-Yeah.

Round of applause for Isabella.

High five. High five. Job well done.

No, I wasn't suspicious at all.

I believed that Bill was a real scientist.

I think Yuri was very cool. When he farted, that was really funny.

I will definitely get Chantal back.

-Two, one, go.

-Whee!

-Bit like you're in space?

Hello, hello, Brisbane.
