Okay, this is an obscure one.
I remember watching a British TV show back in the day. It was likely the late 70s, or early to mid 80s.
It wasn't a series, and may have been either a one off thing or possibly a part of an anthology-type series.
It was a science fiction episode. The premise was that a bunch of people had joined a UFO club. They met in the house of the club leader, off in the countryside somewhere. They were all pretty sad types for the most part, and whilst they all talked about how amazing and fantastic aliens were, you got the strong impression that they were just a bunch of lonely middle-aged people who had talked everyday encounters or fantasies up into being something they were not.
But then the club leader tells them a story about seeing a UFO crash. He says he found an injured alien, and he has it upstairs. And the alien's friends are coming to get him back. They go and look, and there is indeed an alien in his bedroom. It's a kind of translucent greenish thing with glowing lights inside it.
Everyone freaks out and panics over this... the theme is that all these people who claimed knowledge of aliens were utterly unprepared to confront the real thing.
I have no idea how it ends, though.
Anybody have any idea what this might be? Where could I see it? How does it end? (Don't tell me how it ends if you know where I could see it!)
