90's kids tv Network 2

MisterKipling

Hi, i'm trying to find the name of a kids tv show that was made by rte. I can only remember very very vague details. I think it ran for one season. There were puppets that resembled ghosts and i think there was a boat. And i think they looked like fish...and lastly they were spirits or ghosts.....straining my memory but thats all i can remember...would love to be able to check an old rte guide from early 90's....hope someone can remember and put me out of my misery...

It would be really cool if we had a TV forum or an all things retro forum.

Or a grumpy old fart forum.

I found some info on a blog that says it was shown on Saturday morning (this is what I remember as I watched it in my aunt's house where I was sent every Saturday) and repeated on Sunday evening.

Yeah. It was on at a weird time on Sundays, like 5.30pm. Got the shivers there thinking about that.

That Eerie Indiana is on US Netflix I believe.

Christ hard to believe its been 21 years since Rimini Riddle. What a weird kids show!

Heres one I couldnt get answered before. Anyone remember a program on in D'arcys time, think it used to be last thing on at 5.30. About an old fella living in the Australian bush. He had a wind turbine and a dog I think. Looked like he was an oil well worker or something. Ray and Dustin used to take the piss out of it about how bad it was.....

Damn you, Agricola! I'm supposed to head out but now I can't until I figure this out.

Am pretty sure I remember that one, though I remember him being pegged as a windmill repair main? It was really bizarre and rather tragic in hindsight. For no obvious reason I seem to remember the last episode had him move to some city to work as a theater handyman or something. Good career move I think.

You could be right. Maybe thats why wind turbines spring to mind for me. I think I only said oil well worker because he was always dressed in old rags and filthy!

Scrap Iron Pete rings a bell, but nothing more

It was a series, but you're right jenny's mam had a shop/deli. Jenny used to work there on weekends. Alana was the girl from tomorrow. The year 3000 to be exact. :

ETA: The Kelly Deli was the name of the shop

Chancer3001

Might have been....

She was about 15?

And the "bad guy" was about 40 if I remember.

I also think her mother had a magic hairband / transducer thingy too??

maybe her future mother?

Silverthorn was the baddie, he was from the year 2500. He kidnapped Alana and brought her back to 1990.

Everyone from the year 3000 had a transducer

Chancer3001

she had super powers?

but i dont remember what exactly....

Woof was also hilarious. Boy can change into a dog. Must have been hard to come up stories for that every week!

This? It's the only clip I can find

Strange things happen at the guest house. There is a talking stuffed toy called Otto with murderous intentions, a cracked painting of two girls in Victorian bathing suits that leads to another dimension and a freaky weird band that has something to do with the older brother.

There were imaginary friends, inter-dimensional portals, high stakes of good and evil and the sense that something catostrophic is at work just beneath the surface of your domestic setting and all the other things that matter to a child.

There was a different programme around the same though with puppets on a boat, wasnt Rimini Riddle. They sang at the end "Would you like to wish on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar.." It was Irish too. Can anyone remember what it was called?

This isn't Irish but is this it? the girl could freeze time. She was half Alien through her dad and they had a cube they hid around the house. It was a telephone to another planet.

Out of this world? this is the opening credits

I was only thinking of this show the other day. I remember there was episodes around christmas (maybe christmas specials?) that are in my memory, although very distant. It was a freaky show at the time. I remember Vera & her sleeping cap thing.
