80's kids sci-fi

[Steve1972]

Please help..i've two questiosn
one was a program on ITV i think. about a girl that was either on a space ship or a space station. She had red or brown curly hair and wore a dull kind silver get up(i think)..when teh credits rolled up at the end her face was on the TV smiling or something like that...sorry not a lot to go on...mid 80's

also i think this one was on BBC....dubbed from spanish or italian....a young boy had a wooden box and he carried it eveywhere. inside it was a coil of glass that had a light in it.When it spoke to him the light would go on and off...looked a bit like a lazer...any ideas?

Sorry, but Charlotte Atkins who played her (and also starred a the kooky one, Scarlett, in Four Weddings & a Funeral) passed away in 2001 from a massive asthma attack.....

Ooops.... my three year old was hassling me at the time... brain cells don't function correctly when he's about!

Re: 80's kids sci-fi

never knew the show to be honest but I'm pretty sure that wasn't it..this girl had longer hair....my girlfriend vaguely remembers it aswell but we've come up blank with a name:-(
thanks though

Re: 80's kids sci-fi

Yeah, she had long hair in Marmalade Atkins and was short & spikey for Four Weddings and a Funeral. If you look at 'Marmalade Atkins' website, you'll recognise her straightaway - she hadn't changed a bit, other than just looking older.

Re: 80's kids sci-fi

The second series was called "Oscar, Kina and the Laser". The laser could talk to Oscar and turn him invisible, if I remember right.
