The TV episode starts with a radio signal from outer space.
It is clear that it is alien but at the start cannot be deciphered.
Eventually, the main scientist realises that if he slows down the signal, it makes more sense.
After a while, he manages to decode the language so he can talk to the space craft captain.
Initially, the captain is very sceptical about the friendliness of earth people, thinking they are violent and will kill the aliens.
Finally, the two become friends and the alien agrees to land nearby. the decent is traumatic, and it is raining. After the craft lands the scientist goes outside to look for it but cannot see it.
The aliens see monsters outside the window and think they have been deceived.
The monsters are worms, the aliens miniature. I found it very plausible because of the build up and believable science; small aliens would speak with high frequencies.
I wish I could see it again to see if as an adult it is as gripping as I remember all those years ago. Certainly, it had a bid effect on me as I searched to find whether it was still available.
