Yes, that's it! Thank you so much!
Hi, I'm trying to remember this name of a kid's show that I watched sometime around 2006 on ABC (Australia). From what I recall, the show was about two British kids entering a competition to build a model rocket, but they continued to almost fail to cross various hurdles (such as lack of thrust, fuel, etc.) because they lacked money. The series finale had the two kids reach the final contest and, in a desperate attempt to get their rocket working, they cover it with an assortment of good-luck charms, only for it to turn into a huge spaceship and take them both out into space.
Can't remember anything else about it, but the ending keeps popping into my head and I'm just curious to see if there was any build-up to it in the show, because it seemed to come out of nowhere to me.
