- Behind The Scenes With Nick Frost
It's 2151 and the British have launched a fleet of space ships to explore the galaxy in the only way the British can... with a stiff upper lip and regular tea breaks. Their mission? To export all things British to all corners of the galaxy - namely overpriced supermarkets, housing estates, call centres and even tractors - and protect Britain's interest in a changing galaxy.
At the forefront of this expeditionary force is the HMS Camden Lock, helmed by the irrepressible, if a little tetchy, Commander Henderson (Nick Frost). Ably assisted by a crew of misfits, the Commander steers his ship through the stars, giving orders from his big swivelly chair.
Henderson is often more concerned with securing his place in British history than just doing his job. His crew? Borderline psychopath First Officer York (Kevin Eldon), sycophantic Diplomatic Officer Teal (Miranda Hart), manic depressive Navigator Vine (Stephen Evans), loose cannon Technical Officer Jeffers (Dan Antopolski) and enhanced human Sandstrom (Petra Massey).
Experience the highs, the lows, the anti-gravity failures, the annoying talking mops and, of course, the wars with alien races... always in national interest of course. Features the complete first and second series.

I grew-up on Red Dwarf and spaced also and have and have been holding out for another series on Red Dwarf for years, when Hyperdrive came to our screen I didn't think it could compare to Red Dwarf... I was wrong! I loved Red Dwarf and have watched it to death and Hyperdrive have made laugh just as much... u have to be observant to find humour in the show joke aren't made obvious all the time and if you have the inteligence in you then you will see that the humour... well worth making another series... but I said the same about spaced and it never happened.
Really not that bad...

A lot of people (probably the type who think "Little Britain" is the last word in comedy) dissed "Hyperdrive" - but it's really not all that bad. It's not great either - it's character-based, and some of the characters are crap (e.g. the beardy guy and his sidekick) - but it's a definite grower. Series 2 considerably stronger than 1. Comparisons with "Red Dwarf" are justified; indeed, I suspect that the Beeb specifically wanted to commission a space-based comedy to go for the Dwarf demographic.
Worth a punt - you naysayers need to open your minds a bit.
An enjoyable series.....

Hyperdrive is an enjoyable series. Nick Frost is as always excellent and fans of his will love this. although not as good as red dwarf its still worth a purchase.
