Yes, Automan. Totally forgot about that. The pilot episode is on Youtube, treat yourself! Add in the original 'V' series as well.

Yay! I used to tell people about this and they'd just look at me as though I'd sprouted an extra head. Must have been a very short run so only seen by a select few I believe Sam was played by a very young Tony Robinson.

Yes it was Tony Robinson, i think it was his finest hour. Like you, i don't know anyone that can remember this and people tend to think i've gone do-lally when i try and explain it.

All standard children's fare there!

'The Changes' was a fantastic kids drama in the mid-70s. Have never forgotten it and the Dr Who-esque sound effects.

People have been lobbying for years to get the BBC to release it on VHS/DVD but there has always been a blank from Auntie.

I'd love to watch it again.
