Cruise of the Gods

Cruise Of The Gods Cruise of the Gods

CRUISE OF THE GODS is an excellent one-off comedy from the BBC which stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as former stars of a 1980s science fiction series "The Children of Castor." Twenty years on, and whereas Nick Lee (Coogan) is a successful actor in his own series (the surreal "Sherlock Holmes in Miami"), Andy Van Allen (Brydon) is down on his luck and virtually forgotten. When the offer to attend the "The Children of Castor" fan cruise arises, he reluctantly accepts. Once on board he runs into Nick, struggles with the demands of obsessive fans and an alcoholic former scriptwriter. But the cruise ultimately turns out to be more meaningful than Van Allen had anticipated when he meets the son he never knew he had and discovers the true meaning of being a star.
