Ted & Alice - if this had been 6 30-minute episodes instead of 3 60-minute eps it probably would be thought of as a unique TV series. Instead it seems to be a forgotten "mini-series".File this under comedy, drama, SciFi, romance....a great cast led by Dawn French and Stephen Tompkinson as Ted & Alice, and Owen Teale, who like Tompkinson was in Ballykissangel though not at the same time.
Paul Wallace sums it up like this on IMDB:
Ted is an alien, an outcast on his own planet where he is a rare single-sex being condemned to a life in search of a mate. Alice dreams of a fiction book romance, but the reality of boyfriend Barry is a lot less appealing. Her life seems set to change when Ted, who is not only looking for love but also a place to hide his spaceship, appears on her doorstep.
But don't think this is another Mork And Mindy or even My Hero. It's not anywhere near being as lightweight as those.
