Space I think and the colours were all kind of dream-like:blues, greys silvers etc. Knowing me it probably was a dream like 10 years ago! Ah I wish I could remember more. It was on TV around 12 years ago I think

Ahhh so many memories...

Transformers (original series only!)
MASK
Inspector Gadget
TJ Hooker
CHIPS
Blue Thunder (so much better than Airwolf! Shame it only lasted 1 season )
ALF (though there was a Project ALF movie on Sky a while back with Martin Sheen)
Sledgehammer (vintage! The whole series was a prequel and unlike Enterprise it worked! )
Greatest American Hero
Knight Rider (someday I will own one of those cars - preferably done up like KARR with the two tone paint job!)
Mr Ed
I Dream of Jeannie
Green Acres

..any many more I can barely remember!

Thats why I remember so little because I would have been about six! He didn't look human but he stood on his hind legs and looked a TINY bit like a slim hippo. He was blue I think. Sorry I know I'm useless!

Yes it was one of my main ambitions in life when I was young to get on that show! The questions were so easy and the contestants were so Dumb!! I just wanted those inflatable jukeboxes and guitars!!!

Anyone remember the following? :

1) I think it was called 'North Star'. This dude who I think was a gov experiment that gave him powers and made him strong. He had 3 levels where his his eyes would glow blue, yellow, or red. At red he was seriously strong, but at that stage there was actually a danger of him incinerating himself. Don't know if it ever made it past a pilot, but I'm sure I didn't dream it.


2) The Clifden House Mysteries: Used to scare the crap out of me. Family in this house, which had a secret room. In the secret room was a skeleton of a WW2 soldier who had crawled in there mortally wounded and died, and his ghost was pissed about it I think.


3) Children of the Stones: Had Blake from Blakes 7 in it. About these stones up on the hills in a sleepy english village that used to whisper (a-taaa-vayeeeeee !!) and put people under a trance. Again, used to scare the living bejaysus out of me when I was a kid - I couldn't resist picking up the DVD on Play.com last year and it was pants.

Dear God, if you can help I will love you all forever:
I have a vague memory of a cartoon in which the characters werent human. the theme tune sounded a bit like Enya and there was a male character in the opening sequence whofloated around in a bubble which got pricked when the song ended. NONE of my friends have any recollection of this whatsoever and it is slowly but surely driving me mad! Please let someone else remember!

It was extremely scary for a kid but aint that the way - watch it years later and you realise how ropey it was...

Thanks LoneGunM@n!
I was a fan of Sport Billy and no one I know seems to remember that cartoon at all, I was actually starting to believe I had dreamt it up.
Reading through all of those lists was fantastic, how easily we were entertained.
Ah! the memories!
