At first the menace appeared as a fault in a relay station. But the danger soon spreads to Jupiter City as the plastic eating space bugs threaten the atmosphere dome protecting the colony from the harsh atmosphere of the planet.

Also a line up of grownup music for your workday afternoon. Featuring Gene Ammons, Jazzazoid, Jaco Pastorius, Jimmy Forrest, Sarah Vaughan, Simply Red, Wes Montgomery, Senoir Coconut, Paul Motion and the Electric Bebop Band, and more. With apperances by Bob & Ray,  and The crew of Red Dwarf.
