  • More shows to identify...

    I remember watching a thing with Sylvester McCoy in it (pre Dr Who). He used to stand infront of a swirly green lazer with this other bloke. In the same show I think there might have been that inventor guy with the funny glasses and straw hat, but this might have been a different show. It was a kid's show. Any idea what it was?

    The other is a long shot...a group of kids walking through a grave yard and they see a finger coming up out of the soil over a grave. I'm thinking perhaps a kid's show made in the 70's although I would have seen it in the early 80's, and I think it was on during the day.

    Yeah, I remember the graveyard one as well. Pretty spooky. Now I have a feeling it may have been part of the Screen Test series, by some young filmmaker. There was another one I remember where a kid was being chased by some older kids all over town until he was cornered on a footbridge. But when they finally catch up with him it turns out they're returning something he dropped. Or maybe I dreamt that one...

      Wilf Lunn & McCoy

      They also worked together on Vision On & Jigsaw

        Could the first one be Eureka?
        The only thing to look forward to is the past

              Thanks guys, Eureka is the first one I remember being transfixed by the green lazer, I notice it isn't in the youtube shot. Must have been in another series. Considering the show ran for 5 years I'm surprised I can't remember it better!

                You didn't dream it because I remember it too. The boy had just been in a newsagents and the older kid was chasing him because he forgot his change :-)

                  Yes that was it! Brilliant. There can't be many people who remember that one. I was probably only 6 or 7 at the time.
