Official Site writer and ex-Ganymede & Titan member Seb Patrick has written a six-part sci-fi radio sitcom with James Hunt made, and is currently trying to raise the £3,000 it’ll cost via Kickstarter. Here’s the synopsis:
Thrown together by a combination of time, fate, and administrative error, accountant Eric Street, genius inventor Professor Miles Wanderlust and temporal enforcement agent Nina Seventeen find themselves stuck in the past with a broken time machine – and worse, stuck with each other. Cursed to jump randomly through human history, and pursued by Oscar Basingstoke, a bumbling temporal enforcer who’s never been that good with dates, the trio blunder their way through a variety of historical settings, trying not to cause too much damage and hoping that they’ll eventually make it back to the future – assuming there’s still a future left when they get there.
You can back the project from as little as a Pound, with different levels of funding unlocking different rewards from eBooks to a guest appearance. You can find full details and back the project via the Kickstarter website here.
