Britain ’s Channel 4 has ordered a pilot for a half - hour science fabrication comedy that follows 200 hundred humankind on a delegacy to find a new home after the destruction of Earth . So far , that ’s a pretty standard sci fi set up . And then there ’s the ship ’s pilot light , which is described as an android bear . all of a sudden , this became awing .
The official outline for Space Ark says :
It ’s 6 months , 1 week , and 4 days since the worldly concern was ruin by an asteroid . 200 man survive on board a huge ‘ Space Ark ’ . Their missionary post ? To recover a new planet where the human race can be re - established .
The ship is populated by the fine minds the earth had to declare oneself , plus an inept bunch , an android - bear pilot and a fellow member of the public who won his place by lottery .
In the pilot installment the work party encounter a apparently friendly exotic race , whose distance foxiness has broken down . What could possibly go wrong ?
Well , it ’s supposedly a comedy , so I ’m guessing that hijinks ensue . Adorable jinks , involving a Pisces out of pee normal mortal on a ship full of geniuses . All I like about is finding out why someone determine that “ bear ” was the perfect design for a pilot . Please , please , rent the bear be the only competent among the “ inept ” crew .
The script come from George Jeffrie and Bert Tyler - Moore ( Pete Versus Life ) and will asterisk ill adept Georgia King ( The New Normal ) , Tom Stourton ( Siblings ) , Justin Edwards ( The Thick of It ) , Alex Beckett ( Twenty Twelve ) , Ricky Grover ( EastEnders ) , and Nico Tatarowicz ( The Armstrong and Miller Show ) .
