Hyperdrive
Created by Kevin Cecil, Andy Riley
On BBC One
A lighthearted sci-fi sitcom built on ensemble incompetence and absurdist humour, where the stakes are deliberately low and the tone is warmly comedic.
Set in 2151 and 2152, it follows the crew of HMS Camden Lock as they stumble through their heroic mission to protect British interests in a changing galaxy.
