This had soooo much promise! I remember all those years back, looking forward to a new sci-fi show...my hopes shattered within 4 minutes! A cassette player in a phantom jet? a RAF pilot who disobeys at least 4 direct orders? all in the first few minutes? As for the plot,two sets of aliens? "special effects" that were anything but, and as for the performances..my god i am surprised all the actors ever worked again! I came here, via "Outcasts", another turgid BBC waste of time and money.Seems nothing was learned from Invasion in the last 20 years. glad to get that off my chest.don't bother with the DVD, this show was truly truly AWFUL!

i just saw this film here in Brunei, and like myself, most of the audience were disappointed. How on earth did this get funded? I couldn't believe Sean Bean was persuaded to do it! In fact, i thought it was a few years old and logged onto InDb to check its age! I thought it was one of the most formulaic horror films i've seen for years! It had absolutely no original ideas whatsoever! I actually was born and raised in the location in which the film was supposedly set and frankly, what a wasted opportunity! The area is absolutely stunning yet the film showed virtually nothing of the beautiful place (The Gower Peninsular in South Wales)...it could have been set anywhere!!? And why did they have a Scotsman, Maurice Roeves, playing a Welshman? I am sure Sean Bean WONT be Adding this to his "best of.." list. What a waste of time. It even broke the cardinal rule of horror films...IT Wasn't SCARY!!

a beautiful adaptation of Dylan Thomas' "Play for Voices". An amazing cast, beautifully shot by people passionate about the project. Do notice the "second voice", the wonderful late and much lamented Ryan Davies, an actor and comedian revered here in Wales, probably the biggest star who never became known outside his own country, he sadly died in 77 at a tragically young age, 42 i believe. An educated and cultured man, his loss was a dreadful blow to all of Wales. Also look out for a very young David Jason as "no-good Boy" and topless performances from a young Susan Penhaligan and Ruth Madoc!

So much to see in this film there just arent enough words! Peter O'Toole was brilliant as Captain Cat, and Elizabeth Taylor wonderful as raunchy Rosie....vulnerable, sexy, sad all in one delicious bundle! Do try to catch this film...you wont be disappointed.
