"Mars Begale 2"?
Wouldn't "Lord Drayson" and "Professor Pillinger" be great names for
characters in some sort of British steampunk TV series?
Episode 1: "The Infernal Uranium Machine - Or - Doesn't The Professor
Have A Unhealthy Glow About Him?"

I still like the founding charter of the British Interplanetary Society,
where they stated that the organization would never try to actually
build a spaceship.

Do you recall Benny Hill doing a skit about UK Space Program. Two hot
chicks in the rocket and he wants to give them a ride. It was a Mr.
Fred Scuttle interview as I recall.
Interviewer: Will this rocket fly?
Fred Scuttle: No, but these two mad birds don't know that!
