Hyperdrive - Series 1

About this episode

The episode explores the first series of the sci-fi sitcom Hyperdrive and its relation to Red Dwarf.

Welcome to SHIPWRECKED & COMATOSE, an in-depth podcast dedicated to the classic BBC science-fiction sitcom, Red Dwarf. After finishing out coverage of The Promised Land last year, we're nearly out of 'proper' Red Dwarf content now! There's a few specials and DVD extras that we're going to look in future, but we've covered all the episodes of the show now! As such, we're going to embrace our love of specials covering weird and wonderful stuff peripheral to our favourite sci-fi sitcom! Welcome to our look at the first series of Hyperdrive. Mark takes hosting duties and is joined by Carl and Rob. Hyperdrive was a Sci-Fi sitcom on BBC2 in the early 00s that was unfairly regarded by some as usurping Red Dwarf starring Kevin Eldon, Miranda Hart and Nick Frost. Did we enjoy our voyage on the HMS Camden Lock? Tune in and find out!
