Very hard to find nowadays, this was a cult classic from late night Channel 4. A development of a stage show by the Cliff Hanger Theatre company, starring its members Pete McCarthy, Rebecca Stevens, Robin Driscoll and Tony Haase, it was deliberately amateurish in execution, unremittingly silly in script, and intriguing enough to make you tune in next week. It lovingly spoofed the Invasion of the Body Snatchers genre of sci-fi, with inane characters who were the only ones who could grasp the unfolding takeover.
It was successful enough to warrant a move for the Cliff Hanger company to the BBC for their series Mornin' Sarge, but there the company's run ended. Only Pete McCarthy went on to major success, but a small number of those following his popular travelogues remembered his early days as the idiot Colin, forever mentioning his friend Ant.
Recommended, if ever anyone is sensible enough to bring this out on DVD.
