Tony Gardner, the frontman of My Parents Are Aliens, made fans emotional when he uploaded an incredible flashback photo of himself and the beloved show’s young performers.
The children’s sitcom about three foster children who realised their carers were aliens.
The series aired from 1999 to 2006, and it is still a millennial childhood favourite 17 years later.
Following Tony’s performance in the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Alex Kew (Josh Barker), Charlotte Francis (Lucy Barker), and Olisa Odele (CJ) posed for the photo.
Stephanie Fearon, who took over as Harriet Barker when original star Danielle McCormack left, and Jordan Maxwell (Frankie Perkins) both grinned for the camera.
Tony, 59, who was surrounded by his former cast members while crouching wrote: ‘My Parents are Aliens reunion at the play tonight. Such a wonderful group of friends.’
Seeing the child stars all grown-up sparked a mixed reaction online, with one writing: ‘Didn’t want to feel 100 years old today but here we go,’ which was followed by: ‘Literally the best photo on the Internet right now.’
Another added: ‘This is everything I didn’t know I needed this morning.’
‘Omg my fave show,’ a fourth enthused.
Despite his popularity as Brian from My Parents Are Alien, Tony has a lengthy acting resume.
In the E4 adult comedy Fresh Meat, he portrayed the creepily pious Tony Shales, and he had recurrent appearances in dramas such as Last Tango in Halifax and Bluestone 42.
My Parents Are Aliens is available to stream on ITVX.
