Such Interesting Neighbors

The Date is
March 20, 1987

Tonight, invite the neighbors over to enjoy this episode...  Unless, you are unsure about your neighbors...

Summary

The family has met the new neighbors and boy are they weird. They could even be Martians. In fact, they are aliens here to protect their child from cyborg police.

Commentary

Like a science fiction short story, the first ten minutes are stretched too long making the plotline and payoff crunch together into 12 minutes. Adam Ant did not go on to stardom from his strange turn and it is easy to see why. Even the children in the piece show more theatrical experience. Still, money was spent on creating the robot police. But, the 'Terminator' concept carries no weight here in that the kid is not of any great value to the viewer.

How Amazing?
Mediocre.
