Robert Llewellyn writes under a rack of solar panels in Gloucestershire, and News from Gardenia is his fifth work of fiction.

News From Gardenia is a science fiction novel; a man called Gavin Meckler who was born in 1979 arrives 200 years into the future where he discovers a world that is recognisable and yet utterly different. It’s a place where it’s possible to travel from one side of the world to the other in a matter of minutes without burning fuel, but it’s also a place where everyone is a gardener because that’s how they can be sure to eat.

Robert Llewellyn wrote his first novel at the age of twelve. By the time he’d published The Man on Platform 5 (his first grown-up work of fiction), thirty years had passed. In the intervening period he’d worked as an artist’s model, a bespoke shoemaker, a tree surgeon, a screen- writer, a comedian, actor and TV presenter.

This is an audioboo version of a book I wrote in 1994 which tells the story of how I started working on Red Dwarf in 1989.

Many adventures, tribulations, exhaustion and laughter caused by creating this incredible series, culminating in my involvement in the US pilot which was made in 1992. The book is very dated, many references are also a bit old and early next year, when we have finished shooting the new episodes, I will update this book and release it as an e and audio book. So this is just a test to see how it works. Stick with me on this, it can only get better...
