Lucy must either pass her A-levels or leave the resistance.

Lucy’s parents think she is wasting her life as part of the resistance and want to take action. With Hannah Murray. From 2014.

It's the day after Lucy's 18th birthday, and her parents aren't happy, and not only because she took that bottle of rum from their drinks cabinet. 

They think she is wasting her life being part of the resistance, so unless she can pass her A Levels they're going to stop her coming to the meetings. 

Does it really take a village to raise a child? Or will they make things worse?

Eddie Robson's sitcom about aliens invading the village of Cresdon Green.

Starring Hattie Morahan and Peter Davison.

Aliens have locked villagers 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 is trying to actually run the alien invasion.
