# I had never heard of Starhyke until now, frankly I momentarily considered that you might have faked a wikipedia page but then I looked at imdb

and remember defending it in incredibly-credibly important online arguments with Red Dwarf fans, but I've not seen it in years and can't even remember the names of the characters.
