The first series was originally broadcast in the United Kingdom by [BBC Radio 4](/source/BBC_Radio_4) in 2018, and a second in 2020. The series has elements that pastiche [Nigel Kneale](/source/Nigel_Kneale)'s Professor [Bernard Quatermass](/source/Bernard_Quatermass).[1] ## Plot The series follows the adventures of Professor Darius Quanderhorn, a brilliant, but insane, scientific genius who creates fantastic devices, and has assembled a team of assistants, including his part-insect "son", a recovering amnesiac, a brilliant scientist with a half-clockwork brain, and a captured Martian hostage. The year is 1952, but no one seems to have noticed that it has been that year for the past 65 years. In spite of Quanderhorn saving the world many times, the British government are tired of his eccentric behaviour, and have a mole in his team.[2] ## Cast - [James Fleet](/source/James_Fleet) as Professor Darius Quanderhorn - [Ryan Sampson](/source/Ryan_Sampson) as Brian Nylon - Cassie Layton as Dr Gemini Jannussen - [Kevin Eldon](/source/Kevin_Eldon) as Guuuurk - [Freddie Fox](/source/Freddie_Fox_(actor)) as Troy Quanderhorn - [John Sessions](/source/John_Sessions) as Winston Churchill and Jenkins - Rachel Atkins as Dolores and the Synthetic Voice ## Episode list Source:[3] ### Series 1 1.
