Captain Star is an animated children's TV series starring Richard E Grant as Captain Jim Star. Animation refers to the process in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result. ... Richard E. Grant (born Richard Grant Esterhuysen on May 5, 1957) is a British actor, born in Mbabane, Swaziland. ...

The series takes place on a spaceship, The Boiling Hell, which has been sent on a mission to a deserted planet at the Ragged End Of The Universe. The ship's crew consists of the egocentric Captain Star, Dana Scully-esque science officer Scarlett, multi-headed engineer Jones and fishkeeping navigator Black. They were later joined by a robot, Jim-Bob-Bob.

Throughout the series, the characters await further orders from Mission Control. These orders never come, as the mission is simply a ploy to get rid of the obnoxious Captain Star.
