39 - My First Planet

15 Apr 2019

Description

This week we review - My First Planet (Series 1 Episode 1)My First Planet is an audience sitcom set on a newly-founded space colony.Unfortunately, the leader of the colony died on the voyage, so his Number 2, Brian (Nicholas Lyndhurst) is now in charge.Brian's a nice enough chap, but no alpha male, and his desire to sort things out with a nice friendly meeting infuriates the colony's Senior Medical Officer Lillian, who'd really rather everyone was walking round in tight colour-coded tunics and saluting each other.She's also in charge of Project Adam, the plan to conceive and give birth to the first colony-born baby. Unfortunately, the two people hand-picked for this purpose - Carol and Richard - were rather fibbing about being a couple, just to get on the trip.Add in an entirely unscrupulous Chief Scientist, Mason and Archer, an idiot maintenance man who believes he's an "empath" rather than a plumber, and you're all set to answer the question - if humankind were to colonise space, is it destined to succumb to self-interest, prejudice and infighting?(The answer is yes, by the way. Sorry.)Written by Phil Whelans.Produced By David Tyler.A Pozzitive Production for BBC radio 4.My First Planet is available to buy at https://amzn.to/2X3ZSBnThe Comedy Slab Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Youtube.Subscribe for a new episode each Monday.Get in touch - we're @ComedySlab on Twitter and ComedySlab on Facebook.
