This is Britain's answer to The Day the Earth Stood Still. To that end, this one is about a smart-arsed alien who comes to Earth to patronise humankind and tell us we are effectively all a bunch of idiots. Seeing as this is U. K. sci-fi, the budget is lessened accordingly, and so we have an alien from Venus who looks exactly human, which was no doubt a bonus for the make-up department. If you think this all sounds like good fun then you'd be dead wrong, as a better title would have been 'Stranger from Yawnsville'. Its tedious melodrama we get here more than sci-fi schlock but I made it to the end. It did have one good bit though, when an official says about the stranger from Venus - with no irony - 'I usually hate people who know all the answers, but I like him. He makes you feel like a moron, but I like him.'
