The complete series 1 and 2 of My Initial Planet – a sitcom set on the shiny new planet, starring Nicholas Lyndhurst, Vicki Pepperdine (Jo Brand’s Getting On) & Tom Goodman-Hill (Another Case of Milton Jones)

The story up to now: Unfortunately, Burrows the first choice of the colony has died on the voyage, so his #2 2, Brian (Nicholas Lyndhurst), is now in charge. He’s a good enough chap, but no alpha male, and his desire to sort things out with a nice friendly achieving infuriates the colony’s Key about My First Planet: THE ENTIRE Series 1 and 2 Physician, Lillian (Vicki Pepperdine), who’d actually rather everyone was walking round in restricted colour-coded tunics and saluting each other. She’s also in charge of Project Adam, the program to conceive and present birth towards the initial colony-born baby.

Unfortunately, both people hand-picked for this function – Carol and Richard – had been rather fibbing about being a couple, just to get on the trip. Add in an entirely unethical Main Scientist, Mason, and also Archer, an idiot maintenance guy who feels he’s an ’empath’ rather than a plumber, and you’re all set to answer the question: If humankind had been to colonize space, could it be destined to succumb to self-interest, prejudice, and infighting? (Incidentally, the answer’s ‘yes’. Sorry.)
