Dave Hollins: Space Cadet was a series of five sketches on the BBC Radio 4 series Son of Cliché, produced by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.
One of the recurring sketches from the second series of the show, "Dave Hollins — Space Cadet", formed the basis for what later became the BBC2 TV sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf, which Grant and Naylor also scripted and Barrie starred in.
