Funny, bizarre, tragic and scary by turns

How to describe this? Aliens who are outcasts from their people because they are sexually dimorphic, like humans, come to Earth looking for love. Some end up in the village where Alice (Dawn French) lives, one in particular, Ted (Stephen Tompkinson). Unfortunately for them there are alien hunters around, led by the appalling Stan (David Troughton) and his sidekick, the slightly gormless Shane (David Walliams). Then there's Alice's ghastly fiancé, the strange villagers, the dangers ...

I'm very glad I recorded this when it aired here; it's so hard to describe but so worth repeat viewings. All the cast are wonderful, whether they're playing characters you want to cheer or ones you want to belt over the head.
