Glowing sperm, ferocious sex drives, and irresistible pheromones are just the beginning. Living with the changes isn’t easy, especially because no one believes their story. Neighbours think they’re crazy, the police are filing a report, and Child Services is threatening to break up the family. It’s enough to make anyone feel, well… Alienated.

Sarah Blundell - Official Character Description
Sarah faces some challenges trying to keep a household functioning smoothly. She doesn’t mean to be controlling, but it’s hard when no one will cooperate with her. Things do not improve much after aliens abduct her family. Her 79-year-old father George is suddenly acting like a teenager. Husband Roger went from dopey indifference to sexual insatiability overnight, and it’s hard to know which is worse.
At first, the rekindled passion was great. But when Roger’s sperm started glowing, well, Sarah kind of lost her interest in sex. Her kids won’t obey her, and when she tries to confide in her friend Roxanne, there’s not much sympathy.
How will she keep her family safe? Even the police are no help at all. But that’s not going to deter Sarah. She’s one determined lady.

Sarah-Jane On Alienated
“Alienated was one of the best experiences I had ever had, mainly because, I grew up in a very ‘proper’, english household, swearing, uh, …..human gas…..uh, all were no no’s, so when I had to do this series, being goofy, laughing so much, sex, human gas, and all the rest that was spoken about so blatenly was sooooo much fun and so freeing for me.
It was the first comedic role I had had really, and Mark Sawers, the creator unleashed a monster, I developed quite a silly nature because of that, and I am so thankful for that!”
