Mission 2110 is a UK sci-fi themed TV game show for children, starring Stuart Goldsmith and Lindsay Duncan. The first series aired on CBBC during summer 2010 with the second series running October-December of the same year.
The series is a children's game show set 100 years in the future in the year 2110. The world has been taken over by the evil Roboidz who were built to aid humans. They have destroyed everything and Caleb is the only person left. He is part human and part machine and does not remember anything about before the robots took over, due to memory loss. Earth's last hope is to destroy and rid the world of the Roboidz. Children are brought into Future Gate where they undertake challenges in groups of four until only one is left under the watchful eye of Caleb. When four of the best recruits are assembled they tackle Future Gate in the final of the show. Each episode's opening titles are headed with a safety warning:
"Mission 2110 is set in the future and the adventures you are about to see are controlled by trained professionals. Please do not try any of the missions performed in the show at home."
At the end of every episode, apart from the last episode of each series, Neuros is heard over the credits saying that Caleb won't succeed.
Caleb is the last human left and in order to save the planet and mankind he enlists the help of brave recruits from 100 years ago (2010). Caleb brings the recruits to Future Gate where they meet the Roboidz and other similar creatures. They then undertake challenges while earning bio rods that fuel the Roboidz. The recruits arrive in groups of four, two girls and two boys, and they are tested over three episodes. Four groups of recruits are tested until only the four elite recruits remain. During the series more of the background of Caleb and the Roboidz is revealed through Cybele. Caleb is keen to learn of his past, but Cybele is reluctant to tell him. Caleb also gradually becomes used to being around children and starts to show that he is emotionally attached to them. Cybele regularly has to remind Caleb of his task and duty and to not let emotions get in the way.
The episodes all have the same format. The same group of recruits are present for three episodes, during which they are gradually reduced to one. The same challenges are undertaken by all 16 recruits.
When the elite recruits have been found they undertake harder and different challenges in one day.
