Woolybacks

By: Andrew River

Sitcom Mission 2018 finalist

Liverpool: the friendliest city in the universe. Unless you're an out of town 'Woolyback' struggling to fit in. But Nigel, Gladys and Cheyenne aren't just Woolybacks, they're a family of alien slugs who've hijacked the bodies of Woolybacks after crash-landing in Liverpool. Dad Nigel wants to conquer the city, Mum Gladys wants to sleep with the city, daughter Cheyenne wants to be the city and their actual Scouse friend Darryl just wants Cheyenne. With their leader, Uncle J, missing since the crash, they must remain undetected and pass as almost-Scousers despite their innate ability to mess up every time.
