- Synopsis:
It is 2151. Britain has launched a fleet of spaceships to protect her interests in a changing galaxy. Amongst them is the HMS Camden Lock, with a crew who will risk everything and stop at nothing to bring harmony to the galaxy, while encouraging aliens to relocate their businesses to Peterborough. They are led by the inappropriately optimistic Commander Henderson, a glorious hero in the eyes of himself, and his First Officer, York, not just a brilliant scientist and tactician, but also a borderline psychopath. The rest of the crew comprise love-struck Diplomatic Officer Teal, who burns several boxes of candles for the Commander; manic depressive Navigator Vine; insubordinate Technical Officer Jeffers and enhanced human Sandstrom - whose body and mind were modified in exchange for the Space Force paying off her student loan. Together they experience the highs and lows of space travel and inter-galactic diplomacy: big swivelly chairs, annoying talking doors, and, of course, the alien wars that threaten the survival of life in the universe... - Actors:

Fungus - Hyperdrive: Series 1 and 2 review by JD
This feels really amateur at first but after a while it grows on you. It is not subtle or clever comedy, just a bit daft. Nick Frost is the main character a lovable caring commander of a spaceship. The other characters are generally over-the-top silly but after a while interesting and amusing. Stick with them and the rewards are bountiful.
