Whenever I had CITV on, I always hoped that this programme would be shown, because when I was younger, alongside Fun House and one or two other programmes, this was one of my most favourites. It should be mentioned that the cast were originally different, the first one or two series saw the main character regenerate, like Doctor Who, and of course I watched the show with the replacement actor. So Angelo (Tim Whitnall) is the alien from outer space who came to Earth in a wardrobe like spaceship, he can walk on ceilings, and he is a bonkers inventor always creating havoc in the house. His partner and best friend throughout the show was young Mike Mason (Michael Benz), who helped in any way he could to keep Angelo out of trouble and with his ridiculous plans. Also in the show, constantly getting irritated and shouting her iconic "Angelo!" line with her Scottish accent was housekeeper Katy Andrews (Katy Murphy), who occasionally joined in their adventures as well. The show was alway inside the household, you never saw them leave and do anything outside, but it didn't matter, everything cooky and enjoyable didn't need to go anywhere else. The last two or three series saw original Mike replaced by Aunt Daphne's niece Michaela 'Mickey' Fawkes-Bentley (Gemma Gregory), and then after her there came Katy's nephew, "coincidently" named Mike (Steven Geller), but for me the way it was worked better, I only kept watching until the end because of Angelo. I may not remember many of the episodes well, but Angelo was one of my favourite hilariously mad characters on TV, I really liked the character of Katy when she got cross, I just always looked forward to what chaos would happen next, a great fun show at the time. Very good!
