Synopsis

Cruise of the Gods was a one-off comedy/drama produced by Baby Cow Productions for the BBC. It starred Rob Brydon, Steve Coogan, David Walliams and James Corden. It aired in 2002 and has since been released on BBC DVD. Written by Tim Firth, with additional material by Michael Marshall Smith and Peter Baynham, it told the story of a fan cruise held in honour of The Children of Castor, a fictitious 1980s post-apocalyptic sci-fi TV series, starring Andy Van Allen and Nick Lee. Twenty years after the show's cancellation, Van Allen is the reluctant special guest on the fan cruise. For Van Allen, The Children of Castor was the height of his fame, whilst Lee went on to bigger and better things, currently Sherlock Holmes in Miami. Brian Conley and Jack Jones made cameo appearances as themselves.

laura-916 It's so close to home, it's uncomfortable on occasion but all the better for it.If you're a sci-fi geek but are self aware enough to understand that your detailed knowledge of the Liberator in Blakes 7 is never to be exposed in polite society, this is for you.If you've ever been to San Diego Comic-con or LA Who Convention but would never dream of getting involved in Cosplay or actually asking any of the guests on a panel a question because you are aware they are jobbing actors, who have no interest, knowledge or indeed, understanding of the significance of the universe in which they act, then this is for you.Enjoy.
tangochan85 I wasn't sure what to expect from the summary, but I wanted to watch something with Rob Brydon in it and I really picked a good choice. The movie played out like a fortune play where the main character starts at a certain level, either peaks/troughs, and the ends either just a bit below or just a bit above where he was at the beginning. It was a bit predictable in places though and sometimes you could guess where it was going, but not so much that things became boring and dull. Everyone did a fantastic job acting. I also like the integration of a cheesy 80's scifi show to help illustrate the points the movie tried to make about character.
dooferoaks A great film, from the writer of Preston Front, which is also a TV Series (well 3 of them) worth getting.The Extras are excellent, Coogans Runner gives an insight into how it was made, there is a complete script from an episode of The Children of Castor, and some good stills with funny captions, and the commentary is excellent. David Walliams is at his creepy best, as are the rest of the cast, and while poking fun at Sci-Fi fanatics, they aren't really the saddest character in this film, but you will have to watch!It's not bust a rib funny, but genuinely warm and the type of comedy that can probably only be done in Europe.
martinelsen I really enjoyed The Cruise of the Gods.This was a great example contemporary British humour. It highlights the many aspects of fanaticism amongst followers of SciFi genres and tacky TV dramas.I liked the fanatic who had actually written his own episodes of Children of castor. (I am sure that there are Trekkies out there that have done likewise with Star Trek.)Whatever became of the stratobow? . I want one!.Me and my mate Kris have watched this several times now and still find it fantastic....this is the future we deserve.
