  • Obscure 80s kid's TV show from UK...

    Right.

    Growing up in the UK in the 80s, I used to watch a show about a boy who had a dice...

    Each episode, he threw the dice to the floor, & the camera zoomed up to it, revealing (via a set) a stone age kind of man who 'lived' inside it, with various controls & monitors to view the outside world.

    It was kind of a learning show: each week the kid would teach him (& therefore, us) something new, like how bottles are made or how recycling works or whatever.

    NO other human being I have ever asked has ever heard of this show, & most think maybe I imagined it.

    I'm starting to think that maybe I did.

    So if ANYBODY out there knows what on earth I'm on about, please reply with a title, & even better, pics?...

    Thanks...

    This may be Maths in a Box. There use to be a programme like this where it was a black and white dice where a biy and girl went inside with an older man. There may be a thread on here about it because it was bugging me for years and would love to see a clip again !

          You guys are all amazing! I am pretty sure that this is it - there's a pic of a kid, a stone age kind of man AND a dice - it MUST be it! Going right on my facebook wall now...

          Again, thank you!

            Hooray, another puzzled 'Maths in a box'-er! I posted a thread a little while back after having very vague memories of this show. Here's the link.

                I'd looked on the net and You Tube for this every so often to no avail and just as I was looking for someone else, it's everywhere ! lol

                  The first picture popped out in my mind was Jumanji.
