The Quanderhorn Xperimentations by Rob Grant, Andrew Marshall

5.0

England 1952 (it's been 1952 for the past 66 years but, this being England, no one likes to say anything), Professor Quanderhorn (think Quatermass crossed with a mad scientist with no morals whatsoever) and his team (consisting of his son Troy, half human/half insect and a major breakthrough in "artificial stupidity"; Chief Scientific Consultant Dr Gemini Janusson, the logical half of her brain is powered by clockwork (if you see her right ear begin to rotate, steer clear!); Guuurk, a hostage from the last Martian invasion and who's more interested in getting his leg over than furthering his home planet's invasion plans; Janitor/factotum Jenkins, who's clearly known Quanderhorn for a while and may be more than he appears, and, last but not least, Brian Nylon, test pilot and recovering amnesiac for whom, after the first thing he has to do after he wakes with no memory is to participate in the destruction of a giant broccoli monster that turned out to be a colleague, go from bad to worse) fight to protect earth from unearthly disasters; a lot of which caused by Quanderhorn himself.
Utterly bonkers and brilliantly hilarious (highly recommend you listen to the accompanying BBC Radio 4 series as well! At the time of writing this review, episode 2 is due to air July 2nd 11:30 am on BBC Radio 4), if you love Red Dwarf and Hitchhiker's and/or retro sci-fi in general, there's a good chance you'll love Quanderhorn!
