This episode of Alternate Galaxies turns its attention to Galaxy Quest, the much-loved sci-fi comedy that boldly goes where few parodies have gone before.
Join Rob and Dave as they revisit a film that affectionately pokes fun at Star Trek, celebrates the fans who keep its universe alive, and delivers a movie with a surprising amount of heart for what could easily have been a standard pisstake.
Never give up, never surrender!

Illegal Alien: The Unmade Season 27 Story
In today’s episode we look at the 1997 BBC Past Doctor Adventure, Illegal Alien.
This story began life as an unproduced television script intended for Season 27.
Britain is at war. Night after night the Luftwaffe are bombing London. A serial killer dubbed the Limehouse Lurker is stalking the rubble-strewn streets. But a deadlier threat falls from the sky in the shape of a sinister silver sphere...
Cody McBride, ex-pat American private eye, sees the sphere crash-land and split open — and glimpses something emerging from within. The military dismiss his account of events. The Doctor and Ace are the only ones who believe him. Before long they find themselves on a trail that leads to hidden Nazi operatives... and some very old enemies.
Before that, we kick things off with the usual mix of news and short topics. Then, after the Illegal Alien chat, we open the mailbag for a ton of feedback from our listeners on a number of topics.
Enjoy, dear listener.
