Several years late and way over the budget doesn't make it necessarily British. It could also be a Berlin airport or a Stuttgart railway station...

Cinnamon and cat wee!

Why didn't they make more of this?
Vote Og.

Are we sure we're not still in someone's dream?

Because you didn't watch it! Not knowing it existed is no excuse. And perhaps because many of the actors went on to other things. Like her own series, and Hot Fuzz, and...

It's a brilliant lampoon on all SF, especially TV SF.

Is anyone else having trouble with the link - it keeps buffering and then taking me back to an advert for a Bentley.

Mine's just buffering

My DVD is running perfectly. Pfft

Went back and restarted it, then jumped forward. Seems OK now.

Sandstrom has weirder and weirder over the course of this!

Hendo's been taken over by an alien! Just like Cally!
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
AnneArthur
OK, I've started it on the other laptop, and it seems to be working OK. The alien has just told them there there's a traitor. I still don't believe this is real.
 
Hugbot
Good that Captain Helix did not combine the forces of Peace and Courage...
 
M1795537OCVirn
Gareth Stannis?! I wonder which series they're referring to now?
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
AnneArthur
I'm loving the detectives - especially Jeffers's half and half.

Captain Helix is the bad guy?
Vote Og.

I wonder!

Whoops!
Vote Og.
 
Hugbot
Well, let's hope we will never find out that Blake's 7 was actually made by aliens to control one of us...

Is there anyone around here buying each and every new edition, I wonder? Pfft

That was a nutty but fun final episode. I think my favourities were Asteroid, Space Javelins and Harvest.
Vote Og.
 
Hugbot
I absolutely love this series. The world building they did is amazing and would also work for a serious series. And the characters work so well.
 
trevor travis
Thanks M1Virn for the suggestion!

Great scripts, too.

That was fun! Great to see this in company. Thank you all for joining me in this rewatch, good night and nice dreams of horses, toasts, pubs or whatever. Frown

So few people even know about Hyperdrive. It's ridiculous, considering how good it is, who the actors are and everything else. Especially the Lalakids.

AnneArthur
Don't know that I like that ending - if only they had stopped it at Henderson being a hero! But a very silly final episode.
 
M1795537OCVirn
So thank you for agreeing to have it as a rewatch, TT, and the rest of you for being kind enough to watch. It's been fun!.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
AnneArthur
That was fun. Thanks Ms Virn for suggesting it. I'll look forward to seeing what we are watching next.

Whoever was of charge of publicising it did a shocking job. If someone told me there was a sci-comedy which mixed in Blake's 7 , Red Dwarf and other stuff, and had Miranda Hart in it, I would have watched it in a shot!

I do remember this being on TV, and getting rave reviews in the Guardian, as far as I remember - but it was always on at a time when I was doing something else.

Sorry I missed this again. Like a repeat of when S2 was on originally...I just kept missing it. Catching up asap. Bit late really.
Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!
