"Blake's Junction 7" is a British short film from 2005, so this one is already over a decade old, way over and it runs for slightly under 15 minutes including credits. The ones who made this are Ben Gregor and Tim Plester and it's among their more known works overall, even if it obviously cannot compete with a supporting role on Game of Thrones. Anyway, this is a little spook of an old British sci-fi series and the Brits are in that genre probably about as successful as us Germans. I must admit that I haven't seen the show this is cheekily making fun of, but this one here also didn't get me curious one bit. The Sci-Fi genre seems entirely gone here as honestly it's about nothing but comedy, but not in a particularly good way. No idea why I liked Martin Freeman a few years ago as his approach and delivery are virtually the exact same in every project he stars in. Johnny Vegas I came across on QI for the first time not too long ago and I don't like him either. So maybe if you like the cast here and also liked the show this is based on, then you will have a decent time watching. But I myself say skip it, it's really nothing special and never particularly funny or creative.
