That title probably made one or two of you do a double-take on RSS. It seems that David was swapped by aliens on Thursday, when we went to pick him up from school we found a babalabalubian instead. They are characterised by red dreadlocks, red & yellow facial spots (one day a year) and a taste for FAB ice lollies.

The alien also liked science abuse, investing £15 of his pocket money in a Brainiac Tee shirt. The best bit of the show was the microwave being blown up at the end, he tells me.

I liked it when the Brainiacs were experimenting with the electric fence, personally, although the bursting of a hot water bottle (although somewhat lengthly) was rather dramatic.

Brainiac is on tour, catch it somewhere while you can, dates here.
