    Was he the guy who had a tuft of hair standing up on the middle his head that wiggled or something?

    I remember watching a show called Crash Palace on Sky1 back over a decade ago. It was an Australian series based around a hostel in Sydney IIRC, which honestly was rather crap but I watched anyway :) Then it suddenly stopped, presumably canned.

    It was quite recent, but HBO's "Carnivàle" was brilliant, pity they didn't renew it after leaving it on a cliffhanger. Also relatively recent and pretty good indeed was "Dead Like Me".

    A V inspired episode of Bridget and Eamonn tonight. Eamonn called it a sure to be forgotten cult classic. They even took off the unhinged jaw rodent eating :pac:

    Banzai!

    Surreal, totally bonkers, 'interactive' betting show on Channel 4 from early 2000s.

    Obsessed with Carol Vorderman but then who wasn't watching C4 back then.

    God, The Devil and Bob was a very funny show

    James Garner from The Rockford Files was God

    The theme tune was great. Australian kids shows were something else back then. Pugwall, The Girl from Tomorrow. Great days.

    Gemini Man - series about a fella who was exposed to radiation and rendered invisible. Had a watch that made him visible but only for a certain amount of time per day and he'd be made invisible forever if he used it more.

    Man from Atlantis - Patrick Duffy pre Dallas.

    Fantastic Journey - another sci fi series about a group of survivors who end up on an unknown island in the Bermuda Triangle.

    The Invisible Man with David McCallum. He could remove his head like Worzel Gummidge, well actually it was supposed to be a realistic looking mask but that didn't make it any less freaky.

    I do remember this series from my childhood and the reruns since. Piece of trivia; Barbara Eden, who played the part of Jeannie, many years later appeared as a major character in Dallas alongside Larry "J.R. Ewing" Hagman.

    Sports Stadium was the signal for me that the kids shows were finished and it was time to go outside and play. I hated it as it seemed to go on half the day and consisted mainly of horse racing.
