This has been bugging me for weeks!

The show was set in the ancient Aztek Empire and was probably on ITV in the late afternoon.

I seem to remember it starred Patrick Troughton and possibly Diane Keane.

The missus doesn't remember it and she knows everything (allegedly).

Cheers!

Okay try this:

A kids drama series starring Phil Daniels, pre-Quadrophenia. Much of the 'action' was underground and it involved various runic characters painted on walls.

Can anyone remember what it was?

It was only the other week that I finally remembered and found an old programme I used to watch.

Does anyone else remember "Knights of God?"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0161158/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_God

"In 2020, Britain is ruled by the Knights of God, a fascist religious order - founded by the Prior Mordrin (Woodvine) - that came to power during a brutal civil war in the year 2000, during which the Royal Family were supposedly all slaughtered by Hugo (Fellowes). Mordrin has renamed the south of England "Anglia," while the north - which has only now been brought under control - he calls "Northumbria." In between is the "Wasteland", where the remaining resistance fighters - labelled "terrorists" by Mordrin - are still at large. Winchester is the new capital, as London was largely destroyed in the war."

Sorry but no recollection of that however I've another request.

It's actually come off the back of this "In the Night Garden" or whatever is the current fad. I thought people were on about a programme from late 70's/early 80's where there were statues in a big country house garden that used to come alive at night. Or something?

Just remember your quote. By agreeing with that quote I have been able to buy and play with 3, YES 3 TVRs. Works every time even though my Spousal Unit is wrong 80% of the time.

I think it could be the one you're thinking of. Remember the Ugly-Wuglies gave me the creeps as a child.

Some more 70's kids TV shows:

Desert Crusader - about a couple of knights in the desert.

The Aeronauts - about a couple of French fighter pilots.

The Persuaders -about a couple of rich, crime-fighting playboys.



Only the last one has been seen in 30 odd years!
