No. It was definitely on either BBC 1 or ITV.

Eerie Inidana. I used to love Eerie Indiana. I bet loads of you remember that though.

Didn't they used to show it during the graveyard shift on ITV? During the days when the regional variations made it a lucky dip as to what you would find late at night on ITV.

That, Robinson Crusoe and The Flashing Blade seemed to run through my childhood in a never-ending loop.
I was quite fond of The Flashing Blade; it had a great theme tune, and wonderfully enthusiastic fight choreography - my favourite bit is when the hero fires his pistol and two extras inexplicably fall off their horses clutching their chests at the same time.

Yeh it was rated by SFX as being superior to the X files amongst others. I loved it funny, funky and very cool.
Northern Exposure was a cool little show which deserves a re-run somewhere.

Didn't run long before being axed though.

I loved that to start with, but it lost me as it got towards the end.

A lot like Moonlighting which was also ace.
Any one remain American Gothic, one season but what a season.

Was brilliant.
Anyone remember Neverwhere? Another great, short lived little fanasy/sci-fi series.
It was proper dark and creepy no wonder they pulled it.
Why's Granpa sleeping on the ceiling?

the original Spooks.
How about Saturday Morning Kids' show On the Waterfront? A lad from my year at school appeared on it in the little quiz that they had. He said him and his mum arrived at 6 in the morning, and were left sitting in a waiting room for hours, until the quiz started. When it did start, I remember all the contestants having to say something about themselves, and him saying he could do a Sean Connery impression. Unfortunately, the impression was terrible, and I remember it making me cringe.
Another lad from my year at school went on Young Krypton.
The Invaders
The Martian Chronicles
Will O The Wisp
Was there an Irish scifi show set in a Gypsy caravan, that was somehow a space gypsy caravan?
Dunno
