"It's in the Jeffries Tubes!"

"MARVEL at my obscure Sci-Fi comedy reference!"

  • Hyperdrive was a fun romp. I wonder if it was, in any way, a prototype for The Orville? Maybe that's just a coincidence.

    Easily my favorite moment was when one crew-member figured out an alternate use for the discipline/re-education chamber.

    How the crew manages to consistently screw things up, then screw them up again harder, will always make me laugh.

    I know I’m gonna get made fun of but that’s Nick Frost, right? What is that?

    Never mind. “Hyperdrive”. Looks like I can watch it on Amazon prime. I know what I’m doing this weekend. lol.

    Yes, that's the one. Used to be on BBC iPlayer (in the UK), but looks like it's not available any more.

    It was generally compared a little unfairly to Red Dwarf (which was in the middle of a 10 year gap at the time).

    It might be fair to say it wasn't solidly funny all the way through, and maybe took a few episodes to "get going" but it definitely had some good bits and great ideas here and there.

    I really liked it, and felt it deserved more than 12 episodes.
