The reason is for two reasons There is clearly an ice cream issue with these aliens as Sophie was only able to morph while eating the cold dessert.

The rest of the show took off from there with wacky "adventures" involving some special effects and trying to live "normal" life. A pilot episode was written which, unlike the UK source material, introduced the series by having the Joneses adopting the Bishops on-screen. The first few minutes is wonderful, but then the worst character 'Guido' comes and ruins the whole show (THE WHOLE), Why did the writer wipe there memorys???

Brian and Sophie start out with a very limited and muddled knowledge of life on Earth, and the children must do their best to help them understand.

Actress Carla Mendonça took to the role like a fish to water and played Sophie for the majority of the show's run. It was nominated 3 BAFTAs, all for Best Drama (even though it was comedy). The casting of the very different Carla Mendonca was, however, masterful, and I commend whoever thought of it. Both episodes are wrote by the same person. There was some confusion when Sophie's face completely changed for series 3, but the clever writes managed to come up with the idea that it was a morphing attempt gone run.
