LEXX: Biography: His Divine Shadow
His Divine Shadow (also known as HIs Shadow) is the most despicable being ever created. To say that this bloke had no feelings for his fellow man would be an understatement of biblical proportions.

The LEXX was grown from an enzyme transported in Stanley Tweedle’s tooth. This makes Stanley it’s mum as far as I’m concerned. Stanley is also it’s captain….. and it only gets weirder!
790 is played convincingly by Jeffrey Hirshfield. This is an acting role that needs great skill. It isn’t easy to add character to an inanimate object and Hirschfield does this very well indeed.
She is one of the more weird characters from the series, but you instantly take a liking to her. Whether you are male or female, Lyekka’s bimboesque, slightly vulnerable sweetness takes you by surprise.
The lovely Xenia Seeberg plays Xev Bellringer. She is a central character of the Series Two onwards.
Kai is an old geezer. In fact he’s been dead for 2000 thousand years and is kept alive by a substance called proto-blood which animates his vital organs and stops him from decomposing.
This is the biography of Stan ‘the man’ Tweeedle. The Security Guard, class four is the captain of the LEXX, which came about by accident rather that by design. The unfortunate Stanley has always been a bit of a wimp ….
Ford and Arthur get thrown off the Vogon Ship, hitch a ride with Trillian and Zaphod and head off to Magrathea.
We watched, transfixed, as the dulcet tones of Peter Jones introduced this colossally innovative, elegantly tacky and wondrous story that has become one of the all time great cult comedy tv sci fi adventures…….
Cluster Lizards are man-eaters, with ferocious appetites and big teeth and a ravenous hunger (sounds like my girlfriend without the big teeth).
This pair of mercenary bum-buddies, are responsible for the humiliation of Stanley (what isn’t) eight years earlier and then bare the brunt of his revenge in the episode ‘Eating Pattern’.
You don’t want to invite this dude to your party. Too much trouble and not much fun (unless you like seeing your guests lose limbs.
Interviewed while on the set of Viva LEXX Vagas. Chris is very accomplished in the movie and TV business and it was great to read his insights and comments.
Water is in the Dark Zone. It is part of a Binary planet system and is partnered with the Planet Fire. It’s also heavenly and nothing like (as you’d expect) the planet Fire.
The Astral B Heretics were the only known force of opposition to the Divine Order. They fought numerous battles and campaigns of subversion but had lost many of their people.
It’s a hellish place! – literally. If you were to imagine the most inhospitable place, the Planet Fire would be it.
There is a certain mysticism surrounding the Divine Order. It was not a democracy by any stretch of the imagination, and humanity was subjugated ruthlessly with many rules and regulations mercilessly enforced.
The planet Klaagia is in the Dark Zone. After a number of wars between warring factions it became a long forgotten planet of rubbish. It is most famous for being the home of Wist.
The Brunnen G were a heroic race who were ultimately responsible for the destruction of the Insects in the Wars thousands of years earlier.
Yottskry was played by a heavy actor (you know, one that has done Shakespeare and stuff) Malcolm McDowell.
A cuddly (for Kai at least) baby Cluster Lizard, played very convincingly by… erm… some guy’s arm.If you met Squish in a pub you’d shout, “Who let my wife in hear”. If you were a girl you’d cuddle it and say, “ah” before it bit your breast.
Thodin is a miraculous leader of Heretics played by rather glamorously by the very cool Barry Bostwick. He is the brave leader of a band of Heretics intent on the destruction of His Shadow.
Giggerota the Wicked, is a great character played enthusiastically by the stunning Ellen Dubin. She returned numerous times to the saga and is a great favourite with LEXX fans.
Wist plays the lovely but deadly parasitic predator on Klaagia. She controlled the unfortunate occupants of the planet by infecting them with satellite worms, which attach themselves to the spinal cord of the host, and by doing so, controls their brains.
