Father Ted and The IT Crowd writer Graham Linehan is teaming up with Adam Buxton (of Adam and Joe fame) to make a new Channel 4 comedy set in space, RadioTimes.com can reveal.

The Cloud follows the fairly hapless crew of a data hub floating about Earth, which is designed to protect the vast amounts of information the human population now hoards on its endless devices – selfies, copious pictures of kittens and, yes, a helluva lot of porn.

Starring Buxton and hot young comedy talents Ashling Bea and Jamie Demetriou, the non-broadcast pilot is filming in the spring. We hope we can upload news of a full commission shortly.
