Offbeat British sci-fi has a more than usually absurd plot but partly makes up for it with the usual virtues of inventiveness and sheer hard work (quality British actors keep very straight faces). Once the usual stuff with boffins and meteorites is out of the way, there's a definite attempt to bring something of the sensibility of the seedy British crime film into play, fairly successfully. Quite often this film is just a bit cleverer, funnier, and darker than you would expect. Doesn't stop the plot being quite so ridiculous, or the climax being a damp squib, but fun to watch regardless. (The garish colourised version in circulation is distractingly horrid; watch it in black and white if you can.)
