Well, in 1990-91, there was a one-season show called She-wolf of London that might be what your mom is remembering. It apparently was also aired under the name "Love and Curses". It's also apparently available on DVD...

That's totally it, thanks a bunch!
Okay, so I was in a Fry's with my mum yesterday, and she mentioned this British television show that was around (she thinks) twenty years ago. The main character was a professor at either Oxford or Cambridge, and he and one of his students investigated paranormal/supernatural shit. Either the student or the professor was a vampire or a werewolf or something like that. She thinks it was played here in America on PBS. That's all she knows about it. She doesn't remember what in the hell it was called, but she'd really like to know. (And I must admit, it sounds intriguing, so I wouldn't mind knowing myself.) Anyone have even the foggiest idea what that show was?
