8/10
A great opener, a really imaginative story.

I love the opening episode, it has such a rich content, it's an episode that plays on a fear many people have, clowns. Why create a new alien race, when we have clowns, when used to good effect, they make the most terrifying menace of all. Not a huge deal of threat in this one, it's mainly implied, this episode gives you a taster for what's to come, it introduces some terrific characters. I absolutely love The Captain played by T.P. McKenna and Peggy Mounts stall keeper, two marvellous actors.

It's typical eighties sci fi horror, the monster shooting rays, and the terrific bus conductor. Some really nice special effects, and a definite energy, all make for a terrific opening episode.

It's not a full house though, Nord and Adrian Mole are both very irritating, and the music is maybe a little cumbersome. All in all though, I really enjoyed it. 8/10
