MUMBAI: UK pubcaster The BBC has announced that filming has started on Hyperdrive, a new science fiction comedy for BBC Two. This follows the crew of British spaceship HMS Camden Lock as they go about their day-to-day lives promoting Britain in the 22nd century.     
Hyperdrive is set in 2151 and the crew of HMS Camden Lock are on a mission. Their mission is not to explore new worlds or seek out new life but to protect Britain's interests in a changing galaxy by encouraging aliens to relocate their businesses to Peterborough and take holidays in The Lake District.

As they voyage through space, the crew have to contend with anti-gravity failures, annoying talking doors and wars with alien races.

Commander Henderson is at the helm of the ship and an optimistic but deluded man who always thinks his orders are "open to interpretation". His right hand man is First Officer York, a brilliant scientist and polymath but also a borderline sociopath who thinks he should be in command.
