Last Commanders

Series 2

SOS - Save Our Skye

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC HD

Skye and her team of Freedom Fighters battle on, trying to overcome the forces of darkness. Teams of Commanders guide their Freedom Fighter avatars to dodge danger, crack cryptic codes and take on terrifying tasks to complete their mission.

Directly influenced by first-person videogames and YouTube play-through videos, Last Commanders is a genre-busting gaming experience. The players are in teams playing from their own homes but without controllers. They pick their character as they would in a videogame, but instead of being a collection of pixels, their character is a real person responding to their commands. The Commanders see what their avatar character sees and can talk and listen to the Freedom Fighter character they’re playing with. Working together, they try to avoid Game Over and complete their mission.

First-person gaming to save the universe - all from the comfort of the Commanders’ own sofas!

Previously on Last Commanders the children of Earth helped Skye save the Kaladian people on the Ykarus Biotech space station from rogue AI Sciron and her Perfection Virus. Since then all Kaladians have been fitted with a safety implant to protect them.

But the fight is far from over... Skye’s parents are missing, Sciron is still out there and worst of all, her accomplice Dr Kline has created an Overload Hack to bypass the safety implant.

In an attempt to capture Kline, Skye returned to the Ykarus station to join the fight. But Kline’s cyber army had strengthened and he’s captured Skye and confiscated her ship. Now she needs the Commanders more than ever. They need to work with their Freedom Fighter avatars to save Skye and get her back to her ship and to safety.

In this episode, three teams take on Skye’s mission: Commanders Harry, Lucia and Pietro guide Catara the spy; Commanders Leo and Luke direct brainiac Dexx; and Commanders Lucia, Abbie and Edie work with tech whizz Fenzie as they attempt to rescue Skye and get her safely back to her ship.

Combining a science fiction story, intense gameplay from first person videogames and the fun and entertainment of gameshow television, Last Commanders is a universe-spanning, cyber-tastic, space-opera adventure. Show less
