In the year 2151 a spaceship owned by the British government is crossing the Galaxy, trying to convince alien Civilisations to relocate their businesses to the UK.
But unfortunately, with a useless crew and competition from the likes of the USA and China, this is tougher than it looks.

This show could have some potential. I quite liked it at the start but it didn't match up to Dwalf..

No1 mentions this show without mentioning about how crap it is next to Dwarf. From the description is sounds more like Hitchhiker's type humour than dwarf though.

I'll check it out

I think ep 2 was a lot better than the first one..... I think this show will be quite cool... given a chance to warm up.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

The second series starts at 9.30pm on Thursday 12 July.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/hyperdrive/

I think people have misjudged this series, any resemblance to Red Dwarf is superficial. Red Dwarf is about taking the absurdity of much SciFi up a notch or two and turning it into comedy, its episodes tend to get judged on how well they do that. Many people cite Back to Reality as the best episode, even though it's not particulary strong as a comedy.

If you judge Hyperdrive on that basis it will come-off worse because that's not what it's trying to do. The Scifi setting of Hyperdrive is really no more significant than the historical settings of Blackadder; it's as much a satire about modern Britain as anything else.
