Summary

Malcolm Mattocks (Christopher Godwin), Gentian Foster (Carmen Du Sautoy) and David Ackroyd (Barrie Rutter) are Britain's first three astronauts. Beadle (Bruce Boa) is their contact at Mission Control.

Living together in two cramped compartments, the three space travellers finding coexistence difficult, to say the least.

The rights to the programme were sold to a US production company. A pilot programme was made but failed to develop into a series.
