Captain Eager and the Mark of Voth

The surreal adventures of a ray-gun hero battling his way through cardboard sets and spurious villains in his quest for the Mark of Voth.

Square-chinned Captain Eager, arrives in his wobbly bakelite rocket, brought out of mothballs by the sprawling, hi-tech corporation Macro Space. His brief is to investigate a maverick 'client' – the villainous Colonel Regamun who has taken over the Veritan Sector using the 'Mark of Voth'.

Aided by old pals Professor Moon, Scrutty and the lovelorn Jenny, Eager rockets into B Movie adventure unaware that it is all a set up. For Colonel Regamun is an enemy from the past craving revenge… and he is luring the brave yet clunky Captain to a final B Movie showdown.

Along the journey Eager learns to confront his (rubbery) monsters from the past, his triumphs due to understanding that his enemy is human too.

Starring James Vaughan, Tamsin Greig (Green Wing, Love Soup), Mark Heap (Green Wing, Spaced), Rick Leaf (Enigma, Fifth Element) this is a great British sci-fi comedy movie with an excellent British cast. Forget SKY CAPTAIN, this showcases wonderful use of green-screen and computer-generated environments.

If you loved Dan Dare you will love CAPTAIN EAGER. Bring a square jaw!
