The Amazing Extraordinary Friends - Series Two, Episode One

This children's adventure/superhero comedy follows teen Ben (Carl Dixon), who becomes the heroic Captain Extraordinary. Ben must save his city from the forces of evil, with the help of his friends and grandad (retired superhero The Green Termite, played by veteran David McPhail). The tongue in cheek humour and ironic DIY effects make this superhero parody — created by Stephen Campbell (The Cul de Sac) — one for all ages. In this first episode from season two, Ben battles the villainous Wraith, the (lame) joke-telling Comedian (Mick Innes), and seeks wisdom from Incredible Master Zero (Ian Mune).

Boy, he has really changed since he learnt how to fly.

– Vicki Van Horton (Hannah Marshall) on Captain Extraordinary, early in this episode
