Another one from an American sitcom. These images are from Dennis the Menace which ran on CBS from October 4, 1959 to July 7, 1963 and stared Jay North as the titular star.
This is another series I didn’t know anything about even though, from what I can gather, some episode did actually air in the UK – renamed Just Dennis - in the early to mid 60s. A few years before my time!
These images are from episode 15 of series 4 and the plot is as below:
Mr. Wilson is named chairman of a saving-stamps campaign for the Junior Astronauts. As chairman, he arranges a contest at Dennis' school in which the student who collects the most stamps wins a trip to Cape Canaveral to meet an astronaut. Dennis and Johnny Brady are leading the contest, but then Dennis comes down with Chicken Pox and can't continue. But, Dennis does get a special message that makes him feel better. Guest appearance by Project Mercury spokesman "Shorty" Powers as himself.
Which might leave you to correctly guess that Dennis the astronaut is all just a dream sequence from the start of the episode, but a nicely done one all the same.
