A small plane jolts through the endless blue of an Australian sky, hot, red earth rising to meet it. It's about 100 degrees in the shade: the acacia shimmers in the hard, blinding haze, stretching for miles to what has to be a mirage – the shining, white dome of the Royal Australian Observatory.
On the plane, hapless British astronomer Dr Paul Hamilton sees his new and glorious life stretching before him. A life where he can be an astronomer, rather than just teach others how to embrace that glorious goal. Where he can leave behind his boring girlfriend and her collection of Aztec jewellery, which he hates.
But the Aussie outback is about to deliver up a bit more than pale Dr Paul is expecting. And this bumpy plane ride is nothing compared to what his oddball colleagues are about to dish up.
Supernova is a six-part comedy series about love, life and the Universe, set in one of the most advanced scientific facilities in the world.
It takes viewers crashing through black holes, cosmic stardust and primal gases as its characters brave heat, flies, noxious toads and crazy locals to unravel the mysteries of the universe. And it ponders the greatest question of all: will Paul get the girl?
