Angels From Outer Space

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Dave Against the Machine, Angels From Outer Space

Conspiracy theorist Dave is convinced his postman has been replaced by an alien.

When the mail arrives on time for once, conspiracy theorist Dave is convinced his postman has been replaced by an alien. Written by and starring Dave Lamb. From June 2011.

Dave Lamb's brand new sitcom series about conspiracy theorist Dave Railings continues and this week it's aliens. 

When the post is delivered on time to the flat that Dave shares with his deeply frustrated younger brother Jim, Dave jumps to the conclusion that their usual, rubbish postman must have been replaced by an alien clone. Jim is initially dismayed, but then realises that Dave's fear of being abducted by aliens (again) gives him his best opportunity yet to escape his disturbed older brother. 

Meanwhile community police officers Nigel and Geoff find themselves on duty at a dating march for single people, where the abuse they start to get from the public drives Geoff to drink. And if that wasn't bad enough for Nigel, it seems as if the guvnor has a thing for him. Belly laughs and plot twists as Dave Railings attempts to save the public from its own ignorance and foil an intergalactic scavenger's bid to stockpile human DNA. The truth is out there... possibly.
