Starhyke

Many years ago Claudia Christian returned to science fiction, over in England, in a comedy series called Starhyke.

In the future, a thousand years from now, Earth has gone out and killed pretty much everyone, but are fighting the Reptids. Earthers enjoy success due to suppressing all their emotions. A Reptid plan is to go back into the past and the Nemesis follows... however, a device from the Reptids eliminates their inhibitions, and so they now have to find the Reptid mothership in the past and deal with their emotions...

AND WACKINESS!!! WOO!!!!!!!

The comedy is full blown, and focused on one thing: sex, sex, sex. Every episode seems intent on deriving humour from sexual single entendres, sexual references, sexual confusions, sexual... well, you get the idea. Oh, and there is also plenty of fart jokes and such as well. Yes they are on a spaceship, but that's merely backdrop.

Now, I still have two episodes to go, but of the first four the first three are rubbish. Episode four was marginally decent, but I don't have high hopes for the final two. Not even Jeremy Bulloch (yes, he's in this as well) can save this series.

This series was brought up at Armageddon with a question about series two. We can only hope it never happens...

As you know I live in England and I have never heard of this series, I wonder if it was ever actually screened on TV?

(Looks at the wiki page.) No, it doesn't look like it ever did screen...
