“Jump Leads”

Wide-eyed Meaney and perpetual cynic Llewellyn are Cadets in the Lead Service. The lead service is an organization that has appointed itself the police of the whole of the Multiverse. They’re the first Cadets in decades to go on actual field-training exercises in parallel Universes. Guided by the eccentric but capable Captain Lucas, their journey into alternate Universes will see them encountering rampaging aliens, bloodthirsty gods, and deadly robots.

The audio series is based on the critically-acclaimed webcomic of the same name. Which was positively compared to shows like Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Jump Leads is everything you love about your favorite British science-fiction series* wrapped up in one big comedy bundle.
