Summary
The programme was a comedy‑oriented quiz show produced for Britain’s Channel 4, in which two teams competed by answering questions primarily related to science fiction, with a particular emphasis on film. The series was intentionally light‑hearted, and the outcome of each match was largely inconsequential, as the format prioritised humour over competition.
The show was hosted by Greg Proops, while the team captains were Craig Charles (noted for his role in Red Dwarf) and comedian Bill Bailey. Each team typically comprised three members: one comedian and two performers drawn from well‑known science‑fiction television series. Guest participants included figures such as Walter Koenig and Claudia Christian (Babylon 5), Sophie Aldred and Sylvester McCoy (Doctor Who), and Armin Shimerman and Max Grodenchik (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine).
