name='niche']Saw some of this on latenight TV a few years ago.



One or more scientists in a country village come across an anti-gravity compound and they hear of a race to the moon where a large prize is offered and decide to build a more or less conventional looking rocket but it gets launched from a chimney.



The launch is so slow, nothing at all like a rocket, it creeps out of the chimney to gasps of incredulity by onlookers and just floats up to the moon,



The guys get to the moon, land and their 'capsule' looks more like a summer house on the inside with tea service, curtains and the like.



The US gets to the moon, astronauts walk across the lunar surface and invited inside with great shock on their faces as to just how homely the british capsule is.

Hi Niche, From your very descriptive question - the Ady-Archive department confirms that this is "THE MOUSE ON THE MOON"





" . . . Oh! Look ! There's that nasty great tin thing again . . . . "!!
