'' A frightfully funny out of world experience" - The Sun. As we approach closer and closer to the truth of extraterrestrial life ITV 2 offers you an exclusive experience of "Extraterrestrial Encounters" a mockumentary set on taking a deeper look into the wide range of conspiracies which build a considerable portion of contemporary society nowadays as they stick their ear into every ones business as they wonder what their favourite celebrities deepest secrets are as their government turns them into puppets. With a more comedic take on the accusations of reptilian monarchs in this mockumentary we are shown the multitude of conspiracies dealing with multiple subjects from hidden alien technology to pigeons being government issued drones with one overall linking theme: The absurdity! Emphasising the ridiculous nature of the more extreme side of these phenomena and the extremist side of the people and ridiculing them and the conspiracies which they spend countless hours on.     

We got a deeper dive into the production and writing of this mockumentary from our interview with one of the writers as they want to give a "satirical view of such trivial conspiracies" and "satirising the people who push these trivial conspiracies into being over the top" whilst"sprinkling conspiracies with quite a high chance of being real and having more of an effect on contemporary society" however still sticking to a comedic tone with multiple appearances of "professionals" on these subjects giving their two cents in the matters discussed withing the over hour long mockumentary special

Setting to air mid June at 22:00 with a rating of 18 and older due to the more off colour and offensive humour which is present throughout the mockumentary, airing on ITV 2 after their late night airing of absurd cartoons a more realistic and satirical absurdity will be airing.
