Jupiter Moon (BSB Scifi, Lucy Benjamin)

Published

on


Low budget scifi drama Jupiter Moon was created by soap specialist William Smethurst of Crossroads fame. The premise detailed the exploits of a group of teenage students aboard a space platform called The Ilea in the year 2050.

The platform orbited around one of Jupiter’s moons where there is a major liquid hydrogen harvesting program going on. The Ilea is basically a college in space. Main characters included Captain Eliot Creasy (Andy Rashleigh), French physicist Chantal de Grecay (Caroline Evans), Australian Finbow Lewis (Phil Wilmott) and ships doctor Piers Gilpin (Dominic Arnold).

Jupiter Moon was made by ill fated satellite station BSB (British Satellite Broadcasting) and ran for 150 episodes (although only 108 were shown on BSB). It fell victims to the massive rivalry and eventual merger between BSB and Sky. Despite being seen by very people on its BSB debut the series did get a second lease of life airing several times on the Scifi channel from the mid 1990’s onwards.
