Upon landing, Wallace tries the cheese (which he suggests tastes like Wensleydale) but starts to question his theory on the moon. Also, a strange coin-operated robot shaped like an oven (complete with arms, wheels, and an awkwardly located eye) is encountered by the duo and unsuccessfully attempts to prevent Wallace from eating the cheese.
