As seen on Space the Imagination Station, in its pilot episodes,
Commander’s Log is a kooky, quirky sci-fi comedy for television.
Commander Craig-Scott, a laundry and morale officer, is thrust into
command of his industrial space ship, when four of the senior officers
die. He and his second in command, Chief Blather, attempt to solve
many problems of the ship by applying laundry techniques. In Episodes
3 and 4, they are either hindered or helped by characters such as
Commander Bastaard and Dr. Patsey. The stories, (50 years in the
future,) are told through the Commander’s daily reports to the Global
Space Command, back on Earth.
“Wonderful! Very entertaining, with a refreshing premise…A wonderful,
cleverly scripted combination of comedy, sf and adventure. Original.”
Nina Munteanu, (Sci-Fi author of such books as "Collision with Paradise"
published by Liquid Silver Books: "An unforgettable read that's
immensely alluring, surprising, and heart-throbbing." -- Christine
F. Whitcher, Yet Another Book Review Site. )
“In an era when special effects dominate too many weak scripts,
in blockbuster productions, Bowlsby proves that good writing and
good acting lie at the heart of comedy.” Lynda Williams, (Author,
with Alison Sinclair, of The Courtesan Prince, Throne Price, and
Righteous Anger, published by Edge Science Fiction.)

The
two new episodes currently in post production are called "Enter
the Commie" and "Silent Running." "Enter the Commie" introduces
a new antagonist, Lieutenant-Commander Bastaard, of the Commerce
Corps, who feels he should be running the ship. (Played by Greg
Anderson.) Commander Craig-Scott gets sucked into his challenges
because he feels he has to do everything by the book. In "Silent
Running" Bastaard insists he should go down to a planet surface
to claim its tradmark, but he returns with a mysterious illness.
A new character, Doctor Patsey, (played by Michael Roberds), helps
to deal with it. Parts of these episodes were shot in the H.R. Macmillan
Space Centre in Vancouver. Stay tuned for more info on upcoming
episodes.
"Space The Imagination Station"
is owned by CHUM T.V. in Toronto Ontario Canada. They have the non-exclusive
rights to the first two episodes for 3 years and have already shown
them in March of 2004, and will be re-showing them September 2004.
