DVD Description
Series 1 of
Hyperdrive rockets off in 2151 and the British have launched a fleet of spaceships to explore the galaxy in the only way the British can. That means with a stiff upper lip and regular tea breaks. Their mission? To export all things British - overpriced supermarkets, housing estates and call centres - to all corners, and to protect Britain's interests 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. Ably assisted by a crew of misfits (the further they are from Earth the better, quite frankly), the Commander steers his ship through the stars, giving orders from his big swivelly chair.
The team face many challenges throughout series 2, including becoming members of the best space-o-batics team, The Green Javelins, and rescuing an admiral's daughter to take her to university. They are, as ever, always up for the odd battle with hostile alien attackers; be they Queppu warriors, shiny red robots, or the terrifying Engulfers, they'll give it their best shot. Experience the highs, the lows, the anti-gravity failures, the annoying talking mops, and, of course, the wars with alien races. Lots of wars...
Includes bonus disc of special features.

Synopsis
The year is 2151 and Britain has launched an armada of spacecraft to protect her interests in the cosmos. Amongst the ships is HMS Camden Lock, whose crew has been charged with the task of bringing peace to the galaxy, while persuading encountered life forms to relocate their businesses to Peterborough. Led by the overtly optimistic Commander Henderson, a hero to none but himself, and his First Officer, York, a visionary scientist with a penchant for sadism, the rest of this motley crew consists of a staff so eclectic, youll be glad theyre not roaming the Earth. A first rate cast and sharp writing combine to create a comedy of inter-galactic proportions.
