Altair in Starland

After a bang on the head Orson, the Clown, is inspired to create an escalator. Altair hopes the device may revolutionise Starland's transport system, but it causes many unforeseen problems and fails to take off.

Altair and Gosho are invited to a Grand Ball in the Palace. For different reasons both fear they'll look ridiculous. Altair comes off best simply by dancing to the music.

Torn between his responsibility for a Gosho experiment in bi-location and promise to protect Gretchen's home and furniture from Wood, Altair gets into his worst ever muddle.

On a scorching hot day Altair sets out to rediscover the mythical Lemonade Well. He succeeds and, unintentionally, ruins one of Grzzl's lucrative scams.

Altair, too bored to play Chess with Gosho, tries fishing. He's carried off by a rather "bourgeois" Ogre, put in a fish-tank and told to swim. To regain his liberty Altair must beat the Ogre.

When Princess Vega breaks a vase in the Palace, Altair is blamed. Refusing to say "Sorry", he's sent to Say-Sorry Island, a miserable place of punishment, where the prisoners try to repent.

Altair wears the Crown and is mistaken, by silly Starish. Grzzl builds an Elixir of Youth campaign around this. By the time His Majesty returns to take the Crown, Altair is very happy to hand it over.

Altair takes a job in Gretchen's new restaurant. Naturally, Gretchen is in charge... except when Grzzl is giving orders... or the Chef's throwing tantrums. By the finale, Altair and the boiler are about to explode.

Altair discovers that many of the Starish are superstitious about the most unlucky day of the Year. Trying to understand why he breaks taboos until bad things begin to happen all around. Is Fate or Grzzl responsible?

Happy to be asked to take part in Grzzlland competitions, Altair sends Blip home. Even though she's hurt, Blip hangs around. And given how the competition turns out, lucky for Altair that she did.

There are Street Cleaners and Street Dirtiers in Starland. So, when Altair takes Gosho's treasures out of the wagon, they fall into the hands of these rival groups.

A trivial dispute between the King and the Queen has escalated. The unity of Starland is threatened. Vega is very upset. Why, Altair wonders, won't Gosho intervene when he's idle, merely writing a play!

The King is tricked into taking the first ride on Grzzl's new Ghost Train. His Majesty knows that his nervousness will make him a laughing-stock in public. So Altair sets about preparing the King for his ordeal.

Gosho prepares a conjuring act for the Royal Command Performance. When Altair realizes that the Act involves cutting him in half he begins to get nervous. And things get worse.

All the kids in Starland have Markies - stripes on their skin except Altair. And he feels so left out especially when Gosho tells him that the kids got it from one another, by being so close. Altair tries to fake it.

When the King finds an ancient book, Grzzl wants to know what it's worth and Altair wants to discover what makes it so valuable. When they finally get the treasure Grzzl gets a disappointment, but Altair has a surprise.

Grzzl's mean attempts to charge the Kids at the entrance and exit of the Hall of Mirrors, results in Altair finding an alternative way out into a labyrinth beneath the Fairground.

Convinced that more should be done to the archaeology of Starland, the Queen wants Gosho to be Minister of Culture. Gosho encourages Grzzl to take this role and, from this simple start, an elaborate election grows.

Gosho's tries to repair an old cylinder recorder and so leaves his voice to be heard when he's gone. Altair misunderstands and thinks that Gosho has become invisible!
