Dans une galaxie près de chez vous (DUG for short) is a made-in-Québec, French-language science-fiction comedy series about a group of hapless explorers searching for a new planet to colonise.

The series was aimed primarily at a youth audience, but quickly found an adult audience. It was intended as a parody of Star Trek, but it shares some similarities with the series Red Dwarf, in being a sci-fi sitcom set onboard a spaceship, and having certain characters belonging to the same type (Brad and Rimmer, for instance).

The spaceship Romano Fafard is rendered in CGI, and looks (quite literally) like it was made out of tin cans.

There was a feature film of the same title released after the series ended.

Tagline: "Là, où la main de l'homme n'a jamais mis le pied."

Characters

  • Capitaine Charles Patenaude (Guy Jodoin), the fearless, charismatic leader
  • Brad Spitfire (Stéphane Crête), the detestable science officer
  • Valence Leclerc (Isabelle Brossard, Sylvie Moreau), the psychologist
  • Flavien Bouchard (Claude Legault), the communications technician
  • Bob Dieudonné Marcelin (Didier Lucien), the pilot
  • Falbo Gotta (Paul Ahmarani), the security officer
  • Mirabella Romario (Pascale Montpetit), the medical officer (who is actually a con artist)
  • Pétrolia Parenteau Stanisklavski (Mélanie Maynard), technician
  • Serge-1, 2 & 3 (Réal Bossé), the android created by Pétrolia

The three female characters are in bold. Valence was played by two different actresses.

There is one character of colour in the cast: Bob, who is played by a Black actor.
