Thanks to our very own performingmonkey for pointing us towards this Chortle article on Full Power - a new SF sitcom which I mentioned (with a different title) a while back.
Lots of new details have emerged; read the article for full details as frankly I can’t be bothered rewriting it. In all honesty, this doesn’t sound very good at all - but hey, let’s wait until we see it before judging it. Even though I, erm, just have. But really, if you’re going to describe something as being “about ‘the British in space’”, you deserve to have people look skeptical…
Still, nice to see that, as with the first series of Dwarf, the SF aspects are played down. They’ll be fighting big green monsters before they know it.
Incidentally, I seem to remember that “an hilarious version of Das Boot” was suggested by Rob and Doug to Paul Jackson as one of their sitcom ideas - as mentioned in The Official Red Dwarf Companion…
