British sci-fi is more likely one of these:

  • Dysfunctional but mysterious magical traveler and his witless sidekicks stumble through space and time having campy adventures.
  • Dysfunctional band of renegades rush through space having campy adventures fighting a heartless evil empire with witty retorts.
  • Dysfunctional group of misfits stumble through space skewering each other with witty retorts and having campy adventures while trying to find their way home.

There's definitely a pattern there.

British sci-fi is more like:

"Oh freddled gruntbuggly,Thy micturations are to me as plurdled gabbleblotchits"

Edit: the down votes are disturbing. Do people hate HHGTG or do they not know it? Both are horrible options.
