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
I wasn't imagining anything quite so polished, more a cheaper version of the space sitcom from the early 80s but done as straight sci-fi

I actually bought the DVD.
All the budget went on the scifi convention cast, there wasn't any left for microphones or dubbing, or sound mixing or sound editing of any kind. And fucking hell the writing. Makes Hyperdrive seem like Fawlty Towers. Don't seek it out, it's bad-bad.

I suppose it means I liked Hyperdrive somewhat more than you did.
Thinking back, it was probably mostly because of Kevin Eldon.

I liked Hyperdrive at the time
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.
