The French & Saunders sketch that escaped into a 31-minute fever dream of horny aliens and terrible puns.
A craft full of Space Rats,glamorous extra-terrestrials from the planet Sex,arrive on Earth desperate to find men with whom they can procreate in order to ensure the continuity of their race and whom they imprison in their sex factory. Fortunately for the world the secret agent James Blond,a decidedly non-feminist secret agent,sets out to rescue the men and see off the Space Rats in his own inimitable way.

Dawn French committing fully to 'Gaynor' deserves academic study.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a Comic Strip Presents episode that somehow got a standalone VHS release, presumably to trap unwary renters.
Robbie Coltrane plays two roles here, filmed between Cracker and Hagrid—peak 'I'll do anything' energy.
