Hi guys...I have very hazy memories of a few kids shows from the 90s that have been pestering me for months now. I searched on the Web over and over again for any type of references but nothing so I thought I would see if anyone here can help out.
Even if you cannot tell me the name of the programmes but can remember watching them, please let me know and at least I will start to think these aren't just figments of an over-active imagination!
So here we go:
1) Series broadcasted on the BBC. Set at a school where all the students secretly ran it and had loads of hi-tech things in disguise...have memories of students opening up desks and computers being in them. Also vividly remember that the main student character was a black girl who would sometimes talk to the camera.
2) Vaguely...a *possibly* Australian kids show on BBC where a few school kids discovered a secret underground bunker or something accessible through a disguised hatch in a remote-looking area...think it could be in a desert-like place or by the coast as can remember the secret hatch or whatever it was being disguised under sand. Also, think this secret bunker thing was home to aliens or some type of advanced civilisation and they befriended the kids who went on missions with them. Of course, there was some type of bad guys who were after these aliens/advanced civilisation and they were trying to find this secret underground hideout.
3) Much more vaguely...a BBC show set in what I think was a whitish-looking studio. Presenter(s) had 2 robot helpers...1 gold and 1 silver...i think! Made stuff...have a strange memory that it was a magic show or involved magic...can remember one of the prizes being a magic set and them teaching you how to make an illusion where a ball rolled along a plastic straw held at either end horizontally.
4) BBC show i think...set in a rural area. 2 boys and 2 girls had to go off to live in this house together with a man and woman...cannot remember if the idea was that they were evacuated or adopted. Anyways, the girls hated the boys and vice versa and they played pranks on one another etc.
Thanks for everyone’s help in advance.
