* UnusualUserInterface: Ships are piloted by cyborg "Enhanced Humans". This seems to involve dancing in an alcove full of coloured lights. The plot of the first episode comes about, in part, because two bored bridge crew members try to come up with a sequence of manoeuvres that will make the cyborg fall out of her alcove.

Set in the year 2151, the show follows the crew of HMS ''Camden Lock'', a British "Wendover-class" ship headed by the eager, yet [[IdiotHero hopelessly naive]] Commander Michael Henderson. His crew is made up of the psychopathic Eduardo York, the shy and timid Chloe Teal, the neurotic Dave Vine, the disobedient Karl Jeffers and RobotGirl Sandstrom, who is in charge of flying the ship. They are charged with the mission of exploring new worlds and protecting Britain's interests in the galaxy, but because of how hilariously incompetent all of the characters are they usually end up making their problems bigger until they go away.
