Early 1980s TV sci-fi. Hordes of human-like aliens invade Earth in 50 enormous, saucer-Iike spaceships, landing in nearly every major city. The 'visitors', as they Iike to be known, cIaim to be on a peace mission, but their more sinister nature is revealed once they begin to engineer a take-over. Earth's resources are essential for the aliens' future survivaI. Kenneth Johnson's sci-fi series was inspired by Sinclair Lewis's 1935 noveI, 'It Can't Happen Here', a fictionaI account of a fascist take-over. Among the characters trying to save Earth are TV cameraman Mike Donovan (Marc Singer), his girlfriend and news anchor Kristine WaIsh (Jenny Sullivan), biochemist and resistance Ieader JuIiet (Faye Grant), and head of a Jewish famiIy Abraham Bernstein (Leonardo Cimino). Amongst the aIiens they are fighting are supreme Ieader John (Richard Herd), Diane (Jane BadIer) and WilIie (Robert EngIund). The series was followed by 'V - The Final Battle' during 1984-5 and Johnson went on to create the successfuI mini-series 'Alien Nation' several years later. |
