    I know I'm being a total nerd but for some reason this means sooo much to me and its driving me insane! :woo:

    I've spent the whole day on the Internet trying to find out the name of this children's programme I used to watch back when I was kid.
    The thing is... I have no idea what the show was called or what channel it was on..in fact I cant really remember the storyline either.
    All I know is that it was set in the 90's/UK and was about this angel who had two friends from earth. What sticks in my mind the most, was the glowing headband(halo I assume) around her head.

    help, anyone.

    just to keep the thread going, What was your favourite TV programme when you were growing up?
    Girl was called Alana (spelling) I think. It was Australian I think, and I can never remember the name either. Twas on BBC.

    BUTTON MOON
    That was the absolute best, can never find anyone else who watched it!
    I loved Button Moon! Went to see it at the theatre as well.

    Is that the programme with the strange white elephant-mole sort of creatures? That really is the best way I can describe it - oh my memory is so poor.

    And as for programmes that no one else remembers.... what about Wymi? The robot butler that used to always get into bad situations, and then exclaim "Ohhhh, why me?!"

    Anyone? No?
    I can only assume you mean the Moomins? Don't think you're talking about Button Moon anyway, that basically involved some guy made out of spoons who went in a rocket to Button Moon, which was a mahoosive yellow button in the sky. Ahh I love how programmes back then made so little sense.

    Probably because all the writers and producers were just trippin' their tits off all the time.

    You're talking about The Girl From Tomorrow, but I'm not quite sure if that's what the op's talking about. Could be I suppose, she did have a headband thing, but she wasn't an angel.

    That was the golden generation of BBC 1 with other classics such as the Demon Headmaster and the Queen's nose. Ah memories. :rofl:

    Ahh at last! I have never spoken to anybody who remembers it except my brother. We were starting to think that we had made it up as a game we play when we were younger lol. You have restored my faith in my own sanity and for that I thank you.

    Mike and Angelo, Poddington Peas, Rocko's Modern Life, Doug (not the Disney version though that was crap), Gargoyles, Sister Sister, The Worst Witch, The Queen's Nose, Woof oh yeah. Those Australian programmes like Pugwall, Heartbreak High, Ocean Odyssey, Round the Twist, Revelations, The Tribe, Atlantis High, so many great programmes!

    can anyone remember the one with the tandem bike
    can't remember whether it was a film or a show
    all i remember was that i used to watch it all the time in the late 90's
    there was a bunch of animated characters that rode a bike with multiple seats and in one episode they went through a park and the blackbirds ate the cherries from the girls crown
    and i think they went to stay in a hotel or something
    am not quite sure but i have spent ages looking for this show and i cannot find it to save my life
