Christmas comes but once a year... and so do friendly aliens, this time not bearing gifts but taking them back to a planet underprivileged enough not to have Spectrums, joysticks and Cub monitors. Perhaps that spacecraft glowing ET-like in the background is more used to descending aggressively in the face of fearsome Earth defence fire. This picture could easily have been mawkish if it weren't for Oliver's knack of adding the uneasy element; the visual gag is the Space Invaders cassette, but it is the alien's dubious expression that makes it tautly funny. |
