WE ARE NOT ALONE: FIRST LOOK AT NEW COMEDY COMING TO DAVE THIS NOVEMBER

UKTV have released two first look images from its brand new scripted comedy, We Are Not Alone (1x120'), for its entertainment channel Dave.

We Are Not Alone is written by Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond and produced by Big Talk (The Outlaws, Back, Friday Night Dinner.)

Set six weeks after aliens have invaded and completely conquered Earth, We Are Not Alone explores the culture clash between humankind and its new alien masters, who are trying to make sense of a planet so confusing and idiotic that its inhabitants can't even agree which side of the road to drive on.

Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond said: "We are so excited to be bringing this project to you puny Earthlings. We've never attempted anything so ambitious or ridiculous, so we're thrilled to be joined on the adventure by such an incredible cast and phenomenal crew."

Declan Baxterstars as hapless Clitheroe resident Stewart, selected by Gu'uns Trater (Vicki Pepperdine), Gordan (Mike Wozniak) and Greggs (Joe Thomas) as their official human liaison.

Stewart must help the Gu'uns win favour with humankind, secretly aid the human resistance led by Wade (Bruce Mackinnon) and Grieves (Amanda Abbington), and somehow manage his enduring crush on Elodie (Georgia May Foote).

UKTV's Pete Thornton said: "The premise of this highly original Special is as richly comic as it is timely. We've seen shows before about alien invasion, but none have grappled with how said aliens might try to govern and live alongside us after their (inevitably pathetically easy) victory...

"By observing the way we live through fresh alien eyes, Larry and Ben's remarkable script does a brilliant job of reflecting our topsy turvy world and pointing out what a bunch of idiots the human race really are - and that all things considered we might not actually be the best custodians of our increasingly fragile and damaged planet."

We Are Not Alone will air this November on Dave.
