In the late 1970s the UK's Anglia Television ran a weekly science series, Science Report. The final episode of the series was due to have been broadcast on April 1st, and as the series was not due to be recommissioned, the production team decided to produce a spoof edition for April Fool's Day, which was duly written by Chris Miles and David Ambrose but retained the series' format and presenter. Music was supplied by Brian Eno, a portion of his score being released on the 1978 album Music for Films.

The episode began by detailing the so-called "brain drain:" a number of mysterious disappearances and deaths of physicists, engineers, astronomers, and others in related fields. Among the strange deaths reported was that of one "Professor Ballantine" of Jodrell Bank. Before his death, Ballantine delivers a videotape to an academic friend, but when viewed on an ordinary videotape machine the only result is radio static.

According to the research presented in the episode, it was hypothesized that the missing scientists were involved in a secret American/Soviet plan in outer space, and further suggested that interplanetary space travel had been possible for much longer than was commonly accepted. The episode featured an Apollo astronaut — the fictional "Bob Grodin," played by Shane Rimmer — who claims to have stumbled on a mysterious lunar base during his moonwalk.

It was claimed that scientists had determined that the Earth's surface would be unable to support life for much longer, due to pollution leading to catastrophic climate change. It was proposed that there were three alternatives to this problem: the first involved the detonation of nuclear bombs in the stratosphere in order to allow the pollution to escape. The second alternative was the construction of an elaborate underground city, a solution reminiscent of the finale of Dr Strangelove. The third alternative, the so-called "Alternative 3," was to populate Mars via a way station on the Moon.

The programme ends with some detective work; acting on information from Grodin, the reporters determine that Ballantine's videotape requires a special decoding device. After locating such a device, the resulting video turns out to depict a landing on the Martian surface — in 1962! As Russian and American voices excitedly celebrate their achievement, something stirs beneath the Martian soil.

  • ok nevermind he says 7.07mbar. that actually makes sense

  • I really do not know much about this part. All I know is that "supposedly" this part is real. But there is no actual proof. So I pretty much tell every one to take this with a grain of salt. It appears to be real, but there is no confirmation on that. But it's great that you keep an open mind because there is so much that Governments hold from the people that it would not surprise me if this were to be a fact.

  • Fake!!!

    I spotted William Shatner.

  • The Van Allen Belts of radiation prohibits humans from going beyond 300+ miles into space. How could we go to Mars if we haven't gone to the moon yet? (supposedly in 1969). BLOG ON TO FAKE MOON LANDING ON YOUTUBE AND SEEK... yOU WILL FIND. nasa IS OCCULT! Satan witchcraft...Jack Parsons, look him up. Jesus Christ is real, and evolution is a lie. Satan has put us in a box, like abducted children for years...When they are freed, they do not understand reality. The bible is the reality. SEEK& FIND

  • OMG U RETARDS MARS HAS WATER MARS HAS CLOUDS SO YES THE SKY WOULD BE BLUE..... I BET MARS EVEN HAS PLANT LIFE !!!!!!! idiots!!

  • @inspectorcritic Stop pretending to be a retard.

  • @Pentaclesun597 Did you say Mars has no atmosphere?? I thought everyone with at least a 7th grade education would know that Mars has an atmosphere! Even the moons of Jupiter have an atmosphere. The skies of Mars look just like the skies of earth. Mars is not really 'red', it is mostly a salmon color with green and blue hues as well. Don't go by any conventional pictures that NASA and the scientific Nazi's show you. Look through a telescope and see for yourself!!!!!

  • @mrvader24

    It wasn't real. It was a part in a movie called "Alternative 3".

  • @Pentaclesun597

    WHAT?! Did you even went to school? LOOOOL! Moon has no atmosphere you moron.
