When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Badger Girl and Through the Dragon's Eye were serials shown as part of Look and Read, so I think what you are looking for is Earth Warp
.
Yes. Yes it was. Thank you!
And now I finally remember the song. That's going to be stuck in my head for weeks now! Damn!
Thanks again!
Glad to help Schlubalybub. Look and Read was certainly a long runner. My era is "The King's Dragon" and especially the original version of "Sky Hunter".
In the 90s, there was a series of educational shows broadcast on BBC 2 that were shown in primary schools. I remember Badger Girl, because I saw that twice- once in a school in Scotland and once in a school in Wales, and there was also Through the Dragon's Eye. The show I'm looking for was in the same series. There were at least six episodes, but I remember very little about it apart from the fact that it was about an alien. The alien, according to my memory, was brown, with a segmented body and a long nose (I think). I seem to think that he looked like a scabby brown armadillo that walked on two legs. He may or may not have been fuzzy, like the costume had been made out of an old rug or something. I don't remember why he turned up on Earth, who he was, or where he came from. He did have a spaceship though. I saw this show in around 1995, but I think it was made a few years before. It's been annoying me for about fifteen years, because none of my friends even remember seeing it.
Thanks everyone!
