Rufus Hound is transported into a parallel universe and has to stop the evil Dr Muhahahaha from sucking every person on Earth down the back of their sofas.

Rufus hatches a plan to save the world by knitting the biggest sock in the universe. However, between Dr Mu's Scissor Ships, the fact that no one actually knows where the Space Vacuum is and Doctor Muhahahaha's hand hovering dangerously over the reset button, saving the world is not going to be an easy task.

1x02 Rufus Versus Rufus

Rufus faces a familiar-looking enemy as he tries to prevent Dr Mu from taking over the multiverse. All he has to do is negotiate three chambers containing his deepest, darkest fears, battle a giant broccoli monster, defeat his evil clone, destroy Dr Muhahahaha's cloning device and prevent him from hitting his time-reversing reset button. Just another day for the hapless TV presenter.

And with his profits he is constructing a giant, pizza-shaped starship called the Death Pizza.
