V UK: Visitation

V UK #1

by Jonathan Morris

London. Present Day.
Earth is visited by aliens, bringing peace and prosperity. But their intentions are not benevolent, and soon the world is under occupation. While some choose to collaborate with the Visitors, others decide to fight back.
Episode One - Alien motherships appear above cities across the globe. The world reacts with panic and fear – until the commander of the Visitors appears and reveals that they come in need of help. Their offer seems too good to be true…
Episode Two - One month later, and the Visitors have become part of everyday life. But people are beginning to disappear, and scientists are being persecuted. Documentary-maker Mike Donovan sneaks on board one of the motherships and discovers the horrifying truth.
Episode Three - It is now Christmas. The Visitors have taken charge, imposing martial law over the UK. Scientists are forced to go into hiding - and Doctor Juliet Parrish finds herself becoming the reluctant leader of the rebellion.

Reviews

[Marcus Heneghan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great audio version of the original miniseries, updated to present day London. Still as relevant now as it was back in the eighties, with a surprisingly prescient sub-plot involving the discrediting of scientists. A great time for this release considering the world around us. Great production values and excellent acting. Looking forward to the next part.

A great “revisiting” of the classic TV miniseries. Somewhat streamlined for audio, the updates and changes keep things interesting along with excellent production values and acting even if you’re familiar with the story. It’ll be neat to see how this evolves moving forward.

A VERY good adaption of the original miniseries. There are some changes to the story to make it fit into the 2020s, and the changes work.
Some characters that didn't make it into the remake, like Willy and Martin, are missed, but hopefully they will show up in the next one.

Tremendous and prescient.
