Premise
The series was set in the year 2050 and concentrates on the space ship Ilea in semi-permanent orbit above the space city Callisto. The Ilea was home to a university and many of the programme's main plot strands revolved around the lives of the students, helping the programme to deal with more down-to-earth issues despite its unearthly setting. A secondary plot dealt with an attempt to travel to the stars known as the Daedalus Project.
The series was created and produced by William Smethurst, a former long standing editor of British Radio Soap The Archers, and was recorded at the studios of Central Television in Birmingham.
Actors included Lucy Benjamin, Anna Chancellor, Jason Durr and Fay Masterson.

Famous quotes containing the word premise:
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
