Product Description
From the Back Cover
Young orphans Mel, Josh and Lucy can't believe their luck when they are all fostered together under one roof. But just when it looks like they have the chance of a relatively normal life, they discover their new parents are aliens from the planet Valux! The children soon adjust to their surreal situation and realise how useful it is to have parents who understand so little about human customs. Hilarity reigns as the children cunningly exploit their new parents' lack of understanding about life on Earth. However, if the situation is ever going to work without the authorities catching on, the household has to learn to live by the rules alien to all of them - those of family life.

This is the first six episodes out of the now 106 episodes. I do not know what happened to the other episodes.
If you are a fan of the first series (with Barbara Durkin) this is the best choice, but if you have a DVD, and enjoy series one to three, get "The Best of MPAA" DVD, which includes six of the best episodes.

And not just for kids! I'm 17 and this show works on so many different levels. The acting is deliberately OTT but always excellent, the dialogue witty and the situations hilarious. The stereotypical parent-kid relationships are turned around, with the silly alien parents (who crash landed on earth and adopted three kids) being continually educated by angst ridden Mel, cunning schemer Josh and genius eight-year old Lucy.
The superb acting is what makes this show so pleasing. Fantastic Family viewing!

Having watched and loved this brilliant ITV series for the last five years, I stumbled across this VHS which has the first series from 1999. Not as good as what followed - partly as the kids are so young and finding their feet, and partly as the fantastic Carla Mendonca hadn't yet joined the cast; sorry Barbara Durkin but your voice was just too annoying - it is still great subversive kids' TV; something rare these days. This VHS is rare and deleted, but hopefully there'll be a comprehensive DVD collection one of these days.
