Girl Troop vs Aliens (10×25’) is a brand new live-action comedy adventure that sees a quartet of 12-year-olds take on extra-terrestrials. Best friends Tilda, Kiara, Ruby and Ginny are all members of the Brighthawks – a global outward-bound association for girls – and their troop are hosting this year’s annual summer camp. They’re thrilled to welcome other Brighthawk troops from around the world… but they are about to discover that some attendees have come from much, much further afield! Who are these aliens? What do they want? And will our Girl Troop earn their “Planet Protector” badge. 

Based on the critically acclaimed 2019 Edinburgh Fringe show, the series is created by playwright Madeleine Perham with lead writer Julia Kent (Malory Towers, Hunter Street).
