Spanner

"Gee, Mel, what did you do this New Year's day?"
"I came up with a fake television show."
"Huh? Why?"
"Why not?"

Spanner is a web-based science fiction program that first aired on September 21, 2010.  The show depicts the adventures of a benevolent alien called Mr. Spanner, and the people he befriends, as they travel the universe battling evil, helping people and even saving entire civilizations.
With two seasons completed and ten episodes currently available, Spanner has achieved cult status.  Most of it can be attributed to the high-profile members of the cast (Richard Attenborough, Michelle Pfeiffer and Dominic Monoghan to name just three) and the fact that it has been touted by such individuals as Neil Gaiman, Steven Moffat and Danny Pudi.
A third series is currently in production.
