I was watching the video thinking
"you have misunderstood why Jetpac was fun" before I realised.
That said, I've just been reading about the original Jetpac and found it actually has two sequels I never knew about.

One of the writers of Jetpac now lives
in a £17m house, so presumably if they decided to make a third sequel they might just do it as a hobby rather than crowd funded.

I wouldn't. The original bbc version was perfect. PERFECT.
