In space, no-one can hear you go WTF?

Welcome to Hitlerland, the final episode of Series 2, goes where no episode of Danger 5 has gone before: outer space!

Unable to escape from Hitlerland thanks to a lack of real mozzarella, the Danger 5 team are attacked by Boss Hitler. Holly has her arm shot off, Pierre is killed, Jackson surrenders but is executed by Ilsa who then shoots herself. Tucker is the last to die.

To their surprise, Pierre, Tucker, Jackson and Ilsa wake up, having been brought back to life by Hitler; Holly is still on the operating table having been given a bionic arm. Hitler leaves Danger 5 to finish the operation (a funny scene that sees them dropping liquorice allsorts and cigarette ash into her chest cavity) while he urinates on his henchmen. Holly wakes up and runs into the city where she is dismayed to find that Hitler's image is everywhere (Adolph Titler strip bar, Adolph Fitler gym, Adolph Knitler knitting supplies) but she is trapped by a mysterious female ninja, who proceeds to capture Danger 5 as well.

The ninja takes them into space before revealing her identity: she is an alternate Holly, born from a Nazi embryo ingested by Colonel Chestbridge and raised to become a warrior called Danger 1. However, the other Holly's bionic arm is suddenly activated by Hitler and blows Danger 1's head off. At this point, the show gets seriously weird, even by Danger 5's standards, with the introduction of three Russian warriors (a herring, a pelican and a yeti), some silly stuff involving a sitcom called Hitler's Haus, a trippy space ride for Holly on the pelican's back, and the reappearance of that mysterious snowman and skeleton who sporadically pop up for no discernible reason.

The show's final act sees Chestbridge giving our heroes five rings charged with the power of God that transform them into invincible Power Ranger-style warriors. Together they defeat Boss Hitler and his minions, ejecting the dictator into the vastness of space where he is swallowed by Claire's spirit.

The show ends by showing us what each member of the team did afterwards; in typically offbeat Danger 5 fashion, it's not a case of 'happily ever after' for all of them.
