And the 57 comes from.....?

I would imagine from the Heinz Beans can

used to make Mr Spoon's rocket.

But I could be wrong.

Ugh, I know where I've got confused

Having never seen Button Moon (*awaits flaming*) I thought for some reason the Heinz can was a b3ta addition....

*goes for a cry*

No, don't worry if you never caught Franco Zefferelli's oscar-winning masterpiece that was 'Button Moon'

or was it a kid's TV show? I'm not sure.

See, you could say that

And I'd go on thinking that was true

it's ok, Button Moon isn't a film

you can still be grumpy about that bit ;)

Also, hilarious pedantry guffaws abound, the tv show couldn't get the rights to the Heinz tin or logo so the use of 57 in this instance is nul and void LOLROFLZ!ONETY!

Impressive, sir!

the bean tin

comes from the observation

that Mr Spoon's spacecraft was a tin of beans.

And Heinz make beans?

And Heinz have 57 varieties?

No?
