Full details have been announced of the new sci-fi project featuring Trevor & Simon and former Dr Who star Sophie Aldred. It is a new fan-funded comedy sci-fi audio adventure for kids from 8 to 80, and beyond with a Kickstarter campaign starting 24th March. Details here.

Strangeness in Space is daft audio entertainment for adults and children alike, says the press release, “in the spirit of Saturday morning TV before cookery shows were invented.”

It is written  by,  and  starring,  comedy  duo  Trev  and  Simon  who, for  a  decade,  dominated  Saturday  morning  TV  with their mad and unpredictable world of comedy, sketches and games on BBC1’s Going Live! and Live & Kicking.

They are now heading into space with Sophie  Aldred, Sylvester McCoy's companion Ace in Dr Who.  Joining this trio of Spaceketeers is Clare Eden, producer on the award-winning podcast series The Minister of Chance which reached a full first season through crowdfunding, winning a USA Parsec Award. Rufus Hound and Doon Mackichan have also joined the cast.

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  onboard  a  damaged  space  craft,  lost  in  a  distant  universe,  orbiting  Planet Mirth?

Trev, Simon and Sophie are unwittingly rocketed into the extraordinary, surreal world of space! They’re racing into the future with a foot in the past (the nostalgic 1980’s to be precise). Along the way, fuelled by a diet of indigestible  powdered  space  food,  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  they  can  fund  through  this campaign with your help!
