Katrina attempts to sabotage Uljabaan's post-invasion education programme.

Cunning Kat helps Uljabaan bowdlerise Earth literature for a post-invasion education programme. Stars Hattie Morahan. From 2013.

Katrina Lyons was only visiting Cresdon Green, the village where she grew up, to borrow some money from her parents. 

But when she tried to head back to London, it turned out alien beings known as the Geonin had lowered a force field around the village - refusing to let anyone in or out.

Unfortunately almost everyone in the village is too cowardly, apathetic, polite or stupid to stand up to them, so Katrina’s had to start the resistance movement herself. 

Eddie Robson's sitcom about an alien invasion of a small English village.

Starring Hattie Morahan and Julian Rhind-Tutt.

In this episode, Uljabaan is working on an education programme for after the invasion, creating a list of books suitable for children to read. His chosen advisor is Mrs Leeson from the charity shop. 

Katrina is confident she could do a better job, and hopes she could use it for subversive purposes - so she volunteers. But can she sneak anything past Uljabaan? And can she convince Lucy she's not really being a traitor?
