Thanks Bert,

Just seeing you had reviewed this one made me laugh, it really isn't everyone's cup of 'tea'. I'm not surprised you found it odd.

This was written a year ago and I would probably approach this differently now, just goes to show how we all change.

Alas the production didn't get very far but you never know as it is....A VERY LOW BUDGET FILM TO PRODUCE

In terms of why the man is the wacky character and the computer the sensible, then love struck character,  there isn't a core reason.  

I suppose I considered any bloke who was alone in space probably has to be weird and the computer, by definition, sensible. The humour comes from the play off and then reversal as Petal drifts through the character arc of loss, rejection etc

Did I mention it is CHEAP TO FILM?  

Cheers
