I remember that - I was really into his books so quite enjoyed it despite finding it a tad chilling.
The Boy From Space crapped me up too - and that was meant to be a kids' educational programme hosted by R2D2 lookalike "Wordy".
Yeah, The Boy From Space had its moments. Like the one where the thin man chased the kids over some waste ground, then one fell over leaving the old boy looming large. The Boy From Space crapped me up too - and that was meant to be a kids' educational programme hosted by R2D2 lookalike "Wordy".
Sh111111t!
t. Out. Of. MeI remember sitting in a darkened school canteen in front of a huge tv with fold out flaps being so scared watching the boy from space. There was a bit where the humans were stuck in a red austin 1100 as it wheel span in mud, all the while peep peep's (the boy from space) dad walked ever closer. Real cliff hangar ending before the play time bell went.
the other programe that was far too scarey for kids but we watched at schhol was Dark Towers, part of the words and pictures programme. About a ghostly knight protecting his old house from nasty antique dealers, one of whom was christopher biggins. The episode where the girl found a note while hiding in the old coach house will forever haunt me.

Just seeing the title of this thread brought back childhood memories.
I don't remember a lot of the show tbh snippets really but I remember I loved it (including the opening credits!)
I also remember it was one the very few programs I watched on ITV. Usuallybalways watched BBC!
