We\u2019ve never attempted anything so ambitious or ridiculous, so we\u2019re thrilled to be joined on the adventure by such an incredible cast and phenomenal crew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pete Thornton, head of scripted for UKTV, said, \u201cThe premise of this highly original special is as richly comic as it is timely. We\u2019ve seen shows before about alien invasion, but none have grappled with how said aliens might try to govern and live alongside us after their (inevitably pathetically easy) victory. By observing the way we live through fresh alien eyes, Larry and Ben\u2019s remarkable script does a brilliant job of reflecting our topsy-turvy world and pointing out what a bunch of idiots the human race really are\u2014and that all things considered we might not actually be the best custodians of our increasingly fragile and damaged planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherie Cunningham, Dave channel director, said, \u201cThis is one of the most ambitious productions Dave has ever undertaken, with a hilarious script full of great characters and vivid worldbuilding. We\u2019re thrilled to be working with Big Talk on bringing <em>We Are Not Alone<\/em> to Dave viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kenton Allen, CEO of Big Talk Productions, added, \u201cShining a light on how stupid humans are, through the prism of some stupid aliens, with the amazing crew we have assembled, will be stupidly good fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UKTV has commissioned the scripted comedy We Are Not Alone, written by Larry Rickard and Ben Willbond, for its entertainment channel Dave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":11444,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[137,81],"class_list":["post-11443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dave","tag-uktv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
