Kinvig

Kinvig

Synopsis

The show revolves around the eponymous Des Kinvig (Tony Haygarth) who runs an electrical repair shop in the small town of Bingleton. He is a scruffy little man of no importance and to whom nothing interesting ever happens. Until...

One day his store is visited by Miss Griffin (Prunella Gee) who, it transpires, is from the planet Mercury and in need of Des' help.

Kinvig's friend Jim Piper (Colin Jeavons) is a lifelong UFO watcher and is consumed by jealousy when he discovers that Kinvig has actually become involved with aliens.

The audience are left to decide if the dream sequences are genuinely alien contact or simply a figment of Kinvig's imagination.

The show was Produced by LWT and only ran for 1 series of 7 episodes

Trivia

At the end credits of all seven episodes, the message 'Vicky Loves Jerry' appears amongst the cryptic hieroglyphic text that morphs into the names of the cast and crew. This can only be viewed by slowing down the DVD frame by frame, as the morphing is quick. To whom this message is referring to, is uncertain.
