A REPAIRMAN (TONY HAYGARTH) dreams/sees UFOs, aliens and the like. Odd, semi-comedy, overshadowed by HITCH-HIKER'S etc. at the time. Kinvig owns a crappy electrical repair shop, helped/hindered by his mate Colin "Barnaby The Bear" Jeavons. Also has a cosy wife, Patsy Rowlands. One day, "foxy" chick Miss Griffin (Prunella Gee) moves into flat above shop. Kinvig and mate lust after her but she is unfailingly rude to them. Then, Kinvig "discovers" that Miss Griffin is actually an alien from the planet Mercury (anorak fact: they live underground, to survive the heat), and can "kidnap" him at will and take him to her spaceship. Cue much bad seventies "futurist" decor and Prunella in various sub-Barbarella skimpy outfits. At first she wants his help to save her planet from hostile forces, but then falls in love with him and wants him to marry her and be king of Mercury. She even gives him a special talisman to rub when he wants to contact her - unfortunately it is disguised as a two-pence piece, so frequently got lost/accidentally spent with hilarious consequences. And of course, back in real life, Kinvig's attempts to leave wifey and domestic drudgery for galactic excitement are constantly thwarted: only Colin believes his story, and makes nudge-nudge references to "The Entity upstairs", and the real Miss G is still horrendously rude, due probably to their "amusing" attempts to break into her flat and expose her as an alien.
