    I watched this last night and, bar wanting to shake some sense into some of the people, I thought that it was pretty good. Scientific analyses were done by vets and zoologists to identify the 'alien' creatures, and n'ere a verdict of "it's an alien" was given.

    Of course, even after the DNA tests and skeletal comparisons had shown it was, for example, a monkey people still 'knew' it was an alien. I really had to laugh at one guy who was told the results of veterinary examination showed it was a mundane animal, but still insisted that, as a journalist, he knew that it was a genuine alien. They didn't ask him how a degree in journalism gave him a greater insight into animal physiology than a vet, unfortunately. I'd have loved to hear his answer.

    OH vetted the first bit for Kylith Angering Likelyhood and pronounced it 'laughable' rather than 'telly smashing', so I knew it wouldn't be too bad :)

    How much of the brain does a humanoid use, maybe the aliens are very efficient and can fly and the other stuff you mention.

    All of it. You use all your brain. It's a myth that we only use 10% of it. 10% at a time, maybe, but the whole thing gets used, otherwise we wouldn't have it.

    And the alien turned out to be a marmoset. How anyone could look at it and think anything other than 'small monkey' I have no idea.

    It could be on 4oD, but since it was on ages ago I don't know.

    It's also possible that if you were a naughty person who downloaded things you could find it that way.
