When this first started on CITV (Children's Integalactic Television) I used to find this quite a funny show, and its the first time I saw the main actor on TV. Nowadays though it is repeated too much, I have seen one particular episode at least five or six times. Anyway, basically Brian (Lenny Henry in Pieces' Tony Gardner) and Sophie Johnson (Carla Mendonça, but started off as a better and funnier Barbara Durkin) adopted related children Josh (Alex Kew), Lucy (Charlotte Francis) and Melanie 'Mel' (Danielle McCormack) Barker, and as they did weirder they discovered their true identities as aliens. The rest of the show took off from there with wacky "adventures" involving some special effects and trying to live "normal" life. Also starring Patrick Niknejad as Pete Walker, Jordan Maxwell as Frankie Perkins and Keith Warwick as Trent Clements. The opening titles and Gardner were pretty much the only good reasons to watch it. It was nominated 3 BAFTAs, all for Best Drama (even though it was comedy). Worth watching!
