Far from the sitcom set and live studio audience, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe is almost cinematic in scope – with the episodes so far seeing Stuart (Kevin Sussman), Denise (Lauren Lapkus), Kripke (John Ross Bowie) and Bert (Brian Posehn) battle off giant moths and face the apocalypse as they journey to a world run by an AI Overlord.
It’s undoubtedly a risky move by creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady – and one that that has divided viewers, with some hailing it as a genius move, and others a failed experiment.
“You know, we talked about this while we were shooting,” Bowie explained. “We kind of gamed out how it would be received, and we were aware that there were some people who look at The Big Bang Theory as their comfort show, and they have it on before they go to sleep.
Reviews were also split. Coming in at 75 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, comments range from “more slapdash than inventive” by Hollywood Reporter to “a hysterical must-watch” by CBR.
“I mean, since we are talking to Radio Times, to put it in British terms, it would be like if the ladies from Are You Being Served? are suddenly in the TARDIS,” he explains.

But he was eventually able to confide in long-time friend and co-star Brian Posehn (who plays Bert Kibbler), who was the second person to join the show.
“But still, just hearing that, you can't really get your head around what the scope was that they had in mind, and really, until we saw scripts, did we have any idea of what we were actually in for."
"The scene heading is 'exterior: post apocalyptic hellscape'. I was just like, ‘okay, let's work on this ride together, I guess!’ Let's go all in," he said.
Next up: the gang head to a universe where public opinion on science and magic is reversed. Considering Bert is a geologist and Kripke a physicist, it doesn’t bode too well for them...
