I really enjoyed this little drama. I loved the mix of humour and drama so that it neither became the nerdish Sci-Fi drama nor slapstick comedy with Dr. Who Papier Mache aliens.
Dawn French is always excellent, but for me Stephen Tompkinson stole the show.
My only regret, that I didn't keep it all on tape and that as yet it doesn't appear the BBC will be releasing it on either Video or book. I look forward to a repeat then.
