Richard is alarmed to find that Uljabaan has commandeered six allotments for an experiment

Richard is alarmed to find that Uljabaan has commandeered six allotments for an experiment. With Peter Davison. From 2014.

A sitcom about aliens invading the small Buckinghamshire village of Cresdon Green.

Richard Lyons is alarmed to discover Uljabaan has commandeered six allotments for some sort of experiment, while his daughter Katrina is more concerned that he's arrested Lucy. 

But what kind of plants is he planting inside the building he's built? 

Written by Eddie Robson.   

Starring Hattie Morahan and Peter Davison.

Noticing all-at-once invasions of Earth never work out too well, these aliens have locked the village behind an impenetrable force-field in order to study human behaviour and to decide if Earth is worth invading.

The only inhabitant who seems to be bothered by their new alien overlord is Katrina Lyons, who was only home for a weekend to borrow the deposit for a flat.  

So along with Lucy Alexander (the only teenager in the village, willing to rebel against whatever you've got) she formed The Resistance - slightly to the annoyance of her parents Margaret and Richard.      

This is also much to the annoyance of Field Commander Uljabaan who, alongside his unintelligible minions and The Computer (his hyper-intelligent supercomputer), is trying to actually run the alien invasion.
