0:00:04 > 0:00:06Out there - that's the Neverside.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07- ELEVATOR PINGS - No!
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I think the form filter's jammed.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14You've become human!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Whoa! I hope I make a half-decent dad.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Yay!
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- Benny!- Tom! - Tell me we can get back home.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Come on!
0:00:26 > 0:00:27We left the Neverside
0:00:27 > 0:00:29and everything's gone back to the way it was.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Benny Junior! - Neverside is like dream world.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And like a dream, it fades.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- I shall never forget. - What colour were his eyes?
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I'm not sure either.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41I've lost him and now I'm going to lose you.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43One morning you'll wake up
0:00:43 > 0:00:47and what happened on the Neverside will be like fragments of a dream.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Goodbye, Tom.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Goodbye, Lexi.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Once, there will have been only darkness.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02And the evil things of the night held sway in the world.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06For there will have been no sun in the sky,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10But only a black moon riven with silver.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15No flower did bud and all will have been misery.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Then a fiery comet will have come a-crashing into the dark moon
0:01:22 > 0:01:26and pieces will have been raining upon the Earth.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The moon itself would have been pushed away,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33letting the sun shine on things for the first time.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38And the dayside will have been born and with it the first wizards.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yet beware,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42should the endless night return,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45the powers of wizards is lost.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Moon, it's an eclipse. Just an eclipse.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51That's all. You'll see at noon tomorrow.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54But moon stones will still be raining down or how will
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Randal be having this? - Hang on, you mean that's moon rock?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00As falling from the heavens and even on the very head of Randal Moon's
0:02:00 > 0:02:03greatest of greatly-great-great grand grand grand fathers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And is that how you got your name?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Because someone got hit in the head with a piece of moon rock?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I will not be seeing the amusement of it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- He most assuredly did not. - I suppose it could be moon rock.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15There's no question it was hit by meteors.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18But the moon never permanently covered the sun.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19It's in orbit.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Mybit? Whichbit? Whatbit?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24No, not your bit, orbit.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Demonstrate, professor.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29The crystal ball is Earth.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33The orange is the sun.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36This is the moon.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Earth orbits the sun.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43The moon orbits Earth.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45If you will be saying so.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47But sometimes the moon's orbit brings it close enough to block out
0:02:47 > 0:02:51the sun completely from us, and that casts a shadow over Earth.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Which is an eclipse.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Yes, yes, but evil will still be making the most of time of shadows.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01And wizard magic will be weaker when the moon covers the sun.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Is Moon getting the heebie-jeebies?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's always the same when there's an eclipse.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07He's like a dog chasing his tail.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09But nothing ever happens, does it?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Randal Moon will be attuned to his silvery sister.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15There will be a chill in his blood tonight.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18A feeling that this passing...
0:03:18 > 0:03:19will be a bad moon.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Relax, tomorrow's only a partial eclipse.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24It won't even go dark.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And, Tom, we should be going.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We should? Where?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Quinn's birthday party.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34It's suppose to be a surprise for him, not for you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Yeah.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Look, I'm not really in the mood.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Come on, it's Quinn.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Katie will be there. Everyone will be there, even me.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I know, I'm just tired, Benny.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I've not been sleeping so well lately.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Oh, why is that?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Just dreams.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Weird dreams.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It doesn't matter.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00And besides Mr Fisher's science project,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I've got magic homework to do.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05So, tell Quinn that I'll see him tomorrow. OK?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yeah.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Laters.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Bye, Mrs Crowe, bye, Moon.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Magic is important, Tom, but...
0:04:23 > 0:04:24..so are friends.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Don't take them for granted.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Don't worry. I won't.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31And you're quite all right?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34There's nothing bothering you?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35I'm fine, Gran.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Like I said, I'm just tired.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58BOTH: Hail the Might of Nekron!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We have awaited this alignment for months.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Is all prepared?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06In 13.5 hours
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Earth's moon will begin its partial eclipse of the sun, Father.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13The Gravizon has been calibrated for lunar mass.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16We await only the optimum point of conjunction.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Then we shall visit night upon the wizards! Behold!
0:05:20 > 0:05:24The Nekross shall conquer the moon!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26LAUGHTER
0:05:53 > 0:05:54HE GASPS
0:05:55 > 0:05:56HE STIRS
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Run!
0:06:03 > 0:06:04This way!
0:06:10 > 0:06:11No!
0:06:22 > 0:06:23ALARM BEEPS
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Oh, yeah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46That's good.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Morning! Did you sleep OK?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Weird dreams. Being chased through woods.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57A teacher after your homework, I bet.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01And there's this kid. I keep dreaming about a boy and...
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Is it something to do with when I was in the Neverside?
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Was he there?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09You know what I told you about the Neverside, Tom.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13It's full of tricks and deceptions... shades and shadows.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15What do you remember about this boy?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I really don't know.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Just a boy.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Do you know how old he is?
0:07:21 > 0:07:22What colour hair?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26No idea. What's it matter? It's just a dream.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Random. - Yes. Of course it is.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I mean, none of my dreams make any sense at all.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Apart from the cheesecake recipe.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38You ready, Dad?
0:07:39 > 0:07:40I'll just get my bag.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Is he OK? - Yes. I think so.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I was trying to see how much he still remembers of Benny Junior.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51But the memory is as good as gone. He'll be fine.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Come on then, people, there's an eclipse coming, let's do today.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Thank you.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Oh!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Help yourself.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Their master plan is clever.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05In fact, forgive me,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I can find no better description for it than, inspired.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Perhaps we should act sooner, Excellency?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14There is no need for haste, Jathro.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18And I have never doubted the King's capacity for ingenuity
0:08:18 > 0:08:22or, indeed, cruelty, which is why you must take care.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Should you be discovered, it will be...painful.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Fear not.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I shall take all necessary steps in the cause of self-preservation.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35And the Glory of Nekron of course.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37The glorious day approaches.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Technician 15! What do you think you are doing?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Most exquisite Excellency, I was addressing a malfunction.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I will give you a malfunction,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54if you do not report to the flight deck immediately.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Final checks on the Gravizon - now!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Yes, exquisite Excellency.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Soon you will not be so much exquisite, simply ex.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Tom! Bonjour!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Morning, Mr Sherwood.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Richard.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Hey, Tom, can you give me a hand? - What is it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20It's my dad's reflector telescope.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22And my father's before me.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24In fact, he built it. So be careful with it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26It's heavy and delicate.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Never realised you came from a line of stargazers, Benny.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Oh, mais oui.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35The year that I was born, man first walked on the moon.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39It wasn't to be.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43But I'm betting one day Benny here will be the first Sherwood in space.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47What a day that would be.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50As long as he doesn't get kidnapped by aliens, eh, Tom?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- NERVOUS CHUCKLE - Round here? No chance.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Come on, we should get this telescope set up.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01If only your dad knew you'd already been in space.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It's crazy all the stuff I've done.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06And I can't tell him any of it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Give us a shout if you spot those aliens!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09CHUCKLES
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Lunar alignment in 30 minutes.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Are all systems prepared, sister?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- TOM:- 'Out there, that's the Neverside.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23'A place of dreams and nightmares.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24'I won't abandon my brother.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26'He might not be here any more.'
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Lexi. Are you unwell? - No, I...
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I am perfectly well.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37We must all be alert.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41We have spent months preparing for this moment.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Its success will bring us victory over the wizards.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46It shall be a great day for Nekron.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50And a very dark one for Earth.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00So, how was the party?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01It was cool.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Katie brought Quinn down to the bowling alley,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06he had no idea we'd all be waiting for him.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I told him you were sick.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Oh, you didn't have to do that. - Yeah, well...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I hope you slept better last night?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- No more dreams? - Nothing that made sense.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's just my brain in scrambled mode.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yeah, you'd used to that!
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Yeah, right.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Now, has everybody remembered your eclipse glasses, yes?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32ALL: Yes.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35So your grandad actually built this? It's amazing.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It's sort of a family heirloom.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41My grandad and dad used to watch the stars for hours together.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Me and dad did the same when I was little.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45It's how I got hooked on science.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I never thought about science being handed down to you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's like Mum...
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It's like mum passed magic on to me.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54One day maybe I'll have kids.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58And I'll show them the stars too.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01And I'll tell them how...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05..I went up there and fought aliens.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Kids.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Imagine having a kid.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12How weird would that be?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I suppose it would be cool teaching him how to play football.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Yay!
0:12:21 > 0:12:22No!
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Are you OK?
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Just the thought of having a kid.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Sort of freaks me out.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Made a miraculous recovery then, Clarkey?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Yeah. Sorry, I missed it, mate.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45No worries, got plenty more birthdays to come.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Look at all this, Trust the Benziac to go over the top.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50It's a telescope, its not going over the top,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53it's just a bit more advanced than a cereal box with a hole in it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Good point, Benny.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Benny's grandad made this. - What?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59That's so cool! Can I look through it?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Well, it's pointing at the sun,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03so only if you want to burn your eyes out.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05But you can take a look at the pictures later.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- You're taking pictures of the sun? - Yeah.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Using the camera to make a spectroscopic analysis.- Yeah...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15That's a nice camera though. Careful you don't fry the optics.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Don't worry, I'm using diffraction grating.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Right...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22My dad was a newspaper photographer,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24he left me all this cameras when he died.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26What exposure are you using?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- F22 maximum. - Yeah, you're going to need that.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Someone told me strange things could happen around an eclipse,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36but Benny and Quinn getting geeky? I never saw that coming.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Moon?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Where are you?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Have you see Moon?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Oh...
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Tell me, Stickley, and tell me soon, where is hobgoblin Randal Moon?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Listen up, you'll think it fable, He is hid under the table!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Ah! - Whatever do you think you're doing?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Mistress, the passing of the moon, it will be almost upon us.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Calm down, Moon.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17It'll all be over in the flutter of a fairy's wings, you'll see.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Now come on out.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26You really are frightened, aren't you?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You're trembling.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31There will be evil to come, Mistress, Randal Moon will be
0:14:31 > 0:14:33seeing it a-coming in the darkness.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Right, everyone's got their protective glasses on
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- and their eclipse viewers at the ready?- ALL: Yes!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Good. Oh, come on, Jenkins.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Good. The show's about to start.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Here we go!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02That way. Idiot!
0:15:12 > 0:15:14All systems are readied.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16The eclipse is beginning
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Activate the Gravizon!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Gravizon activated, Majesty.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Oh! - It will be beginning!
0:15:41 > 0:15:43That's amazing!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Stunning!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- That's clearly going to help. - Thank you.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It's reached maximum phase.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18That's it? Show's over?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19We've got maths next!
0:16:22 > 0:16:24The partial alignment is complete.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Engage the Gravizon! We will take control of their moon!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33And move it!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36As my King commands, so it is done.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Now, let there be darkness!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Got it wrong, Benziac. It's going for the full monty!
0:17:00 > 0:17:04No! It can't be! That isn't possible!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Moon! Whatever are you doing?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Experiencing some velocity drift.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Compensate by five degrees.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Immediately, exquisite Excellency.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Unseen hands, they'll be a-gripping the moon! Aye and Randal Moon, too!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39They only predicted 38% solar obscuration.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Talk English, not Martian, Benny!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45The moon, it was only supposed to hide 38% of the sun.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Look - it's three quarters covered!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I didn't think they got stuff like this wrong.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53They don't!
0:17:54 > 0:17:55This can't be happening!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Another ten degrees' adjustment, technician.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Oh, dear. This isn't good. Not at all.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10You'll be a-telling Randal Moon!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, Moon, can't you hold on to something?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15It's bad enough with one moon playing silly beggars,
0:18:15 > 0:18:16never mind two!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19It will be the unseen force a-grasping
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Randal Moon's silvery sister,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23it will be playing him like a puppet, Mistress.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26But what sort of unseen force?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Randal Moon will be but a hobgoblin, he will be knowing only this,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31it will be not the force of nature.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33CRASH
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Approaching totality, Father.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Totality.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Prepare thrusters for the final manoeuvre!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Fire thrusters!
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Look!
0:19:16 > 0:19:17It's getting bigger!
0:19:19 > 0:19:20It's getting closer!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24RUMBLING
0:19:24 > 0:19:26What was that?
0:19:26 > 0:19:27An earth tremor!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It's going to hit us!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33The moon! It's going to hit us!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Where are you running to?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Where are you going to go?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's no use, there's nowhere to hide!
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Position achieved.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Fix relative position!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Maintain the moon's new position relative to the sun's movement.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Splendid
0:20:02 > 0:20:03It's stopped.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06But what happened?
0:20:07 > 0:20:08The moon can't do that!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Well? Any bright ideas?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I could do with a ray of sunshine right now.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Katie's right. It's impossible.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Mum's on her own. She'll be going out of her head.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'm going to make sure she's all right. Yeah?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26And I'd better check on my little sister. She's at playgroup.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- They'll all be scared. - Yeah, try not to worry.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Yeah. Right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Is it the Nekross? - Maybe.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42But this isn't like anything they've ever done before.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Why would they?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Because they know wizards get their three spells every sunrise.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- You can't have a sunrise if the moon is blocking it out!- Exactly.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54No sunrise - no magic.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Whatever they're up to, this isn't over, Benny.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I've got a bad feeling this is just the beginning.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Europe is in darkness.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05The tides are in chaos.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Four hours on and the world is reeling with shock.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12The moon seems to have adopted a new solar-stationary orbit
0:21:12 > 0:21:14between Earth and the sun.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Western Europe has come to a halt as people desert their jobs
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- to be with loved ones. - As offices are left empty
0:21:19 > 0:21:23and the transport infrastructure struggles with this mass exodus,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25governments have called for calm.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Is this the end of the world?
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Not necessarily, I mean...we don't know.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33During about four or five hours of chaos
0:21:33 > 0:21:36as the country and the government were falling apart...
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It's against all laws of physics.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43According to the internet this could be the work of aliens.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45It's as good an explanation as any.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54We seem to have shaken the humans' bombastic faith in being
0:21:54 > 0:21:56the sole life form in the universe!
0:21:56 > 0:22:01We hold the very existence of their world in our grasp
0:22:01 > 0:22:06and soon the wizards will learn the price of its survival!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15People are gathering in large numbers at churches
0:22:15 > 0:22:19and in ad hoc candlelit vigils as the eclipse continues.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21KNOCK ON DOOR
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Benny, are you coming in?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- I'm sort of busy. - Come back up to the house.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27You shouldn't be out here on your own.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29No. I've got things I need to do.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33That's the second one in the last hour.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36No-one knows what's going to happen next. It's not safe.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- So we've got to be prepared. - Your mother's right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:45Now, I'm a rational man, but what's happened today, it's not natural.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I don't mind telling you, it's got me scared.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I've been scared before, Dad. More times than you know.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59But I've never given up hope.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Oh, Benny, darling, that's very brave of you.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06But we're in a serious situation.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Benny, are you even listening to us?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16People out there - they think the world is going to end.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Sorry, I've got to go!
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Don't worry, the world's not finished.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Not today anyway.- Benny!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30It's the Nekross, all right. Look!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32So what are we looking at?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's my spectroscopic analysis of the eclipse.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36But I don't see any Nekross.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39There! The spectroscopic signature of the Zarantulus.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I've charted it before. No-one else would ever spot it
0:23:41 > 0:23:43because they wouldn't know what to look for.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Are you saying the Nekross dragged the moon out of orbit
0:23:46 > 0:23:47and parked it smack over the sun?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50And pushed it closer to Earth to increase the size of the eclipse!
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Wizards across the whole of Western Europe are cut off from the sun,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57and as long as the eclipse lasts, what magic we've got is weaker.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00The eclipse has knocked out the Network of Mirrors.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03They've isolated every wizard.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Can't Randal Moon help? Where is he?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07He will be standing in for a book-end!
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Where do you think he is?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12He's connected to the moon,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14and anything the Nekross do to it has an effect on him.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16You mean he's stuck up there?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Like a pigeon up a magician's sleeve.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20HIGH-PITCHED SOUND WAVE
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- What is that? - The scrying mirror.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28The Network of Mirrors, it will be infiltrated by technockery.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Randal Moon can feel it. Agh!
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Attention wizards!
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Oh, my goodness! Nekross!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39We have control of your moon,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42and with it we have blocked out your sun.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46There will be no more sunrises.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50And wizards are left weak and defenceless in its shadow.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Nekross, do you hear me?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58The halfling wizard! We hear you.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01And I see your fear!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I'm not scared of you!
0:25:03 > 0:25:06And you can't put the whole of Earth in an eclipse.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09When we have harvested the wizards in this sector
0:25:09 > 0:25:15we will move on to the next, bringing shadow and taking magic
0:25:15 > 0:25:21from across your world until we have taken every wizard!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24We'll still fight you. Even without magic.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26And how would you do that?
0:25:26 > 0:25:31Persuade your armies to fire missiles at us? We will return fire.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33And we will obliterate them!
0:25:33 > 0:25:37No! This is a war is between us - wizards and Nekross.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41You've never hurt innocent people before! Don't drag them into this!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You do not dictate the rules of this war!
0:25:44 > 0:25:47There are no rules!
0:25:47 > 0:25:53And these "innocent people", your unenchanted, are your weakness.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56We will do with them as we wish - to force your defeat!
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You're holding the world hostage!
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Whilst the moon remains on its new position, your world is dying.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09The climate will change, the seas will rise
0:26:09 > 0:26:12and the tides will become land-drowning tsunamis.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15The Days of the Ever Night will be returning!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Millions of people will die.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20And you cannot allow that.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23You are duty-born to protect the unenchanted.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26At all costs.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28What is it you want?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30The surrender of all wizards.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Forget it! Not happening!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Then your world will die in shadow.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Your innocent unenchanted will starve and choke on toxic air.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48If you take all the wizards, then you'll starve, as well!
0:26:48 > 0:26:50You'll have used up all your food supply!
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Which is why, on your surrender, we shall farm you like cattle.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56The Nekross shall feast forever.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58No way!
0:26:58 > 0:27:03There will be no sunrise, you are no good.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08We shall allow you 24 hours to give yourselves up to the Nekross
0:27:08 > 0:27:12or watch your entire world die.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21The tremors are coming more often.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It's as if this area is the epicentre.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24We're on the verge of a
0:27:24 > 0:27:26total environmental disaster.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29To move the moon with magic? It will be beyond wizards.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30What's that?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It will be the wizards' call to war.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33There is always another option to war.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- We've still got science.- What? Our science against Nekross science?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39You've always been the most spectacular mate, Benny.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40I'm saving my friends.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42So you can extract my magic, every drop of it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44But you have to end the eclipse.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48And I will snap his bones... and sup the very magic from them!
