Unfortunately IMDb does not have a negative scaling for reviews especially one capable of indicating the ineptitude of this series, perhaps with the scale increased by an order of magnitude. If it's aimed at being comedic, it simply isn't in any way... a situation comedy consisting entirely of situation. Aliens indistinguishable from humans to keep production costs below the category of Dr Who. The story is ludicrous and the premise for it idiotic and without credibility. Aliens crash land in the UK, whose body hair is a narcotic, and they can cross breed with humans and so are instantly put into compounds were they are oppressed? Aliens capable of interstellar travel wouldn't crash land. They wouldn't be able to cross breed due to basic genetic differences. Their technology and in particularly their weaponry would be years ahead of humanity's and they wouldn't be idiots meaning... blah, blah, de-blah... you get the drift. But the bottom line hear is that if a formula is applied at all, it's simple addition of crap story, paltry production and a target audience of degenerate nincompoops in track suits. I was groaning at its moronic scripts within 30 minutes and turned it off. I'm shocked that the series wasn't canceled during editing as it should have been. Is this the depths to which Channel 4 have sunk?
