Rich and joyful, they were travelling in yet another of Willy Wonka's marvels, the Great Glass Lift - or Elevátor, as he preferred to call it.

'Did we go too far?' inquired Charlie, to break the eerie silence. Too fari' cried Mr Wonka. 'Of course we went too far. You know where we've gone, my friends? We've gone into orbit!' They weren't the only ones.
