The Dark Side is the 5th episode of the second season of The Dreamstone (and the 18th of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 19th of February 1992.
Synopsis[]
The Dream Maker had to take The Dreamstone to the Planet Dreamstone for recharge, and Rufus and Amberley came along with him. Zordrak was aware of this and put the Urpneys in charge of a space mission to ambush them on the way (much to the disdain of Frizz and Nug, who were having their day off). Meanwhile Pildit was put in charge of the Dreammaker's cottage and making sure the Noops didn't fall prey to nightmares during the Dreamstone absence.
The Urpneys were waiting for the Noops at the Asteroid belt, but failed miserably to capture them. After several unsuccessful attempts to capture them on Planet Dreamstone, they successfully netted them on their way back, but their rocket lost control and caused everyone to crash into a mysterious region known as The Dark Side. While interrogating the heroes, the Urpneys were antagonized by a giant insect like monster. The Dream Maker offered to negotiate with the monster in return for their freedom, which Frizz and Nug immediately accepted, dragged away an indignant Blob and escaping. The heroes manage to arrive just in time to shoo away the invading Argorribles, while the shellshocked Urpneys enjoy the remainder of their holiday.
"Come on Nug, let's have another glass of Gunge."
