Can anyone help me? Is there any info I can try to provide to help it along?

Can you remember anything else? That is much information, but perhaps you have more?

Can't think of anything else except it was on after school on a weekday rather than a weekend morning. Is there any site that lists programmes with a description I could search? I've tried online but can't find one.

I wish I could help you there, but I cannot think of any. Have you asked elsewhere? I got some of my answers on Reedit.

Thanks for trying, but it's not that one

Billy Webb's Amazing Story? Can’t find very much information about this show online but the Wikipedia page says “The villain is played by a different actor each week“ (so presumably a shapeshifter, though it doesn’t quite match your description)

and this synopsis [1] of the last episode says the boy is setting a trap

I know this is not it, but some parts actually sound like Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Could it be something more family oriented but similar?

Billy Webb's Amazing Stories sounds like a great shout. It sounds like it shares many aspects, and there's even an ice cream man listed in the credits of the finale. I don't recall it being told after the event to a reporter though and it doesn't *feel* like the right show (though my memory of a show 27 years after the event isn't going to be perfect). I'm trying to find the final episode as that would clinch it either way

Comment on this video reckons there was a similiar programme around the same time which involves a magic ring. I'm sure I've seen another comment somewhere about a magic ring in my searches. I can't say either way if there was a magic ring in the one I'm thinking of. Also can't find the final episode of BWAS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlPaw-475w0

Well, hope you find it. You are welcome for the help by the way.

Apologies, I do value and appreciate your help. I wasn't too sure on the Terminator reference, but I took your advice up on enquiring on Reddit.

Sorry, I was a bit rude in my latest reply. I know how it feels to want to find out something for so many years. I have been searching for a book about a girl and a talking tree (or trees) for so many years and was never able to find it. My folks had it, but it was before we moved, so I do not know if we still have it, hope we do, I would love to finally solve it. I appreciate you took my advice about searching on Reedit as well, they are helpful there too. I hope you find this. Good luck mate.

Edited: obviously, it is not Terminator 2 - Judgement Day, I just thought it might make you find your answer quicker. As I suggested, perhaps something similar. I am sure you will find this, just keep on searching.
