The first series was released in the United Kingdom and Australia in October 2005 and consisted of six 30-minute episodes. The second series began airing on 3 August 2006 in the UK.
1 - The Black Hole
Paul, a gaffe-prone but brilliant space scientist who escapes the drudgery of his life in London to take up a field position at a remote Australian observatory. He meets his new, quirky, work colleagues. Paul attempts to adapt to the unfamiliar surroundings and has a slight mishap with a telescope lens.
2 - God Are You Out There?
After recovering from a near fatal encounter with a black swamp toad, Paul thinks he sees the face of God in space. Rachel warns him to keep his mouth shut, as shes seen too many good scientists ruin their careers because of one brief brush with faith. But the team see the phenomenon for themselves and are convinced. Shortly after reporting it to a reputable journal the truth is revealed.
3 - When You Wish Upon a Star
Paul is overwhelmed when his colleagues throw a surprise birthday party for him. But he then receives a call from girl friend Ruth with an exciting surprise - she is in Australia and on her way to the Observatory. How can he get rid of her and live his own life?
4 - Venus Rising
Planet of love Venus rises, so hormones in the Observatory rise with it. As a result, Pauls lack of a sex life becomes a focal point and he decides that the best way to shut up his co-workers is to pretend he is having an affair with a girl he met at the pub. The lie gets bigger and bigger as to Pauls surprise, it brings him unexpected bonuses. Rachel seems to become attracted to him and he earns more responsibility at the Observatory.
