Astronauts is a British television sitcom that aired on ITV from 26 October 1981 to 23 August 1983.
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, who wrote Porridge, were script editors.
It was produced by WitzEnd for ATV, which became Central midway through the production run.
The humour was primarily based on the claustrophobic conditions of the two-room "sky lab" and the consequent tensions.
On 11 August 1982, CBS aired a pilot for an American adaptation called The Astronauts, but no series developed.
