Episode 18: Great Space Roaster

Summary

Roger is offended by the family during his birthday celebrations, and vows to turn his life around - and take revenge. However, the alien takes things a step too far, causing the family to go on the run

Review

A woozy, almost romantic episode has been tucked away late by BBC3 “Love? There’s no such thing as love!” scoffs Emperor Zing, the leader of Roger’s alien race: “It’s just a pathetic notion that you lesser life forms cling to so you don’t feel alone.” To recap, Roger has let Hayley’s stoner husband Jeff be abducted into the emperor’s hideous ship, where, unless Jeff can prove his love for Hayley, unmentionable things will happen to him.

What unfolds on the mega-ship – a giant shopping mall containing the emperor’s favourite shops from around the universe – is a lurid but touching space fairy-tale involving kebabs, shape-shifters and a guest turn from US actor-comedian Sinbad.
