  First broadcast as part of a Science Report documentary series Alternative 3 uncovered an astonishing link between britain's brain drain of disappearing experts climate change and the start of an extra-terrestial colony. The programme ended with the credit Anglia Television April 1st 1977 and was in fact a Sci-fi drama and a deadpan heir to The War Of The Worlds.
