The 10 autumn term episodes follow the crew on their way to a holiday on planet Earth, while 5 extra episodes for the spring term, added in 1988, recount their journey back after the holiday.
The fifth episode of the series, covering triangular numbers, was remade following its original transmission in 1986, with a different plot and different approach to the problem.
A series of three accompanying books was planned, but I don't think they were ever published. Hudson and the Great Space Disaster would have seen the Investigator on the verge of blowing up, Hudson and the Codemaster about patterns and codes, and Hudson and the Giant Space Spiders required the crew to "use their knowledge of tessellations to avoid doom". The plots were based on television episodes.
