Uljabaan is determined to fail his annual inspection, in order to be sent to a better posting. But he'll need Kat and Lucy's help in order to make it work - and he can do without any surprises, such as the identity of the Zone Commander who'll be conducting the inspection... Eddie Robson's sitcom about aliens invading the village of Cresdon Green. Starring Hattie Morahan and Peter Davison. Aliens have locked villagers behind an impenetrable force-field in order to study human behaviour and to decide if Earth is worth invading. The only inhabitant who seems to be bothered by their new alien overlord is Katrina Lyons, who was only home for a weekend to borrow the deposit for a flat. So along with Lucy Alexander (the only teenager in the village, willing to rebel against whatever you've got) she formed The Resistance - slightly to the annoyance of her parents Margaret and Richard. This is also much to the annoyance of Field Commander Uljabaan who's been trying to actually run the alien invasion. Katrina Lyons ...... Hattie Morahan Richard Lyons ......
