  • HELP - do you know this 80's sci-fi series??

    Ok this is all i can recall:

    It's a late 80's (i think) series, either British or Australian...
    A boy (or boys) visit their uncle (i think) who lives by a lake (or large pond) - on the other side of this lake lives a creepy old bloke whom they sometimes see staring out the window.

    Now, they often sight a weird creature in the lake (a bipedal seaweed covered swamp-creature 'kind of thing'...) and investigate in a small rowing boat.

    In this old creeps house they are sometimes confronted by these weird creatures and they also discover planetary models and long shafts leading out to the ocean...

    I don't think it was a long running series and remember it ending along the lins of one of these boys sliding down a shaft into the sea and confronting this alien species (or something of the sort)


    It's all rather vague but I cannot find anything via google or other search eninges and it's staring to knaw away at me like crazy!!!

    Thx for any hints,

    J.J

    Doesnt sound familiar, but it does sound good.
    Growing old is inevitable but growing up is optional

        Erm, lol. No, it may have been directed at kids but is was dead scary, not 'comedy' sci fi at all.

        Other details include these kids arriving in the country or island where they are staying with this uncle of theirs, he drives an open buggy type car...
