The series is set in America, where, according to the plot, the father's mother moved from Rochdale, a town in Greater Manchester. The children's grandmother has affections for the man who lives across the street, Mr. Wienburger, and there is a running gag in that his face is never visible; the viewer seeing either just a silhouette or the back of his head. The Sprogs are baby-like creatures who emit green foul smelling gas. The series never features a real invasion, though it does go across the threshold of science fiction from reality when the postman appears during the episode and at the end the Sprogs always appear to be coming towards the Earth, however generally the theories of the twins are disproved.

Christie was also involved in the dispute between Henrik Wergeland and Johan Sebastian Welhaven, on the former's side. He debated questions on the Norwegian language, especially in the Norwegian Students' Society; in 1843 he released Om det norske Sprogs Retskrivning: et Forsøg. He had high ambitions, and wanted to publish a thesis on Norwegian legends, but only managed to publish one chapter, in the journal Norsk Tidsskrift for Videnskab og Litteratur. His literary production declined when living in remote Røros and Tromsø.
