The series is produced by Splendid Chaps Productions.
Fandom inspiration
It exists in that surreal subspace between Doctor Who and Neighbours with a dash of Hitchhikers, Men in Black and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in there somewhere. It’s funny and it’s good SF and even good social commentary. And VERY Melbourne.[3]Neil Gaiman
Premise
Professor Anastasia Black's retirement is cut short when her house starts travelling mysteriously through time and space - taking her and Eddie Jones along for the ride. They visit alien worlds, the distant past and the far future, forever wondering if they will ever find a way home, followed wherever they go by a mysterious woman known only as..."Sue".[4]
Crowd funding
Funding for production has been obtained via Kickstarter crowd-funding campaigns. The first season of 8 episodes funded on Kickstarter and released in 2014. It was released to Kickstarter backers on 13 October 2014 and then on general release 23 October 2014.[5]
Season 3 was launched on Kickstarter on 24 October 2019 but has faced production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
