Sure, Anna was born the old-fashioned way – a supreme being deposited into a perfect female body who immediately falls for the first man she sees. But what's next for a sci-fi hottie once she's saved the world, done the laundry and the years have rolled on by? Anna Leong Brophy (How to Train Your Dragon, Shadow and Bone, one half of sketch duo EGG) joyfully frolics through the male gaze (yum), aging (gross) and sexy, sexy sci-fi, all while covered in goo. 'Just perfect' **** (Chortle.co.uk). **** (Fest). **** (ThreeWeeks).
