Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Doctor Who and Tree Fu Tom star Sophie Aldred has teamed up with comedy duo Trev and Simon for a new audio series, Strangeness in Space.

Described as “a new fan-funded comedy sci-fi audio adventure for kids from 8 to 80, and beyond”, Strangeness in Space asks what would happen if Sophie, the manager of a NASA Space Centre gift shop and Trev and Simon, two idiots claiming to be a 1980s styled synth pop duo called Pink Custard, were thrown together with a stressy computer robot called LEMON on board a damaged space craft, lost in a distant universe, orbiting Planet Mirth?

The series is being funded by a Kickstarter campaign launching on Tuesday March 24th which, the producers promise, means “they will encounter a whole host of unusual space dwellers and aliens, all played by an exciting parade of cult actors and celebrities, in as many episodes as we can fund through this campaign with your help! They’ll bump into the flocking Featherheads, or encounter the hairy scary Rhinocerbikers, be shook up by a Space Ghost, or shake hands with the sinister Dr Scarifium!”

Strangeness in Space is being produced by Clare Eden, who produced the first season of The Minister of Chance. More details are on the website here
