TV Show I don't recall...
-
Federation of Lost International Property does ring a bell...?
That's absolutely right!
I asked about this on Knightmare Chat a couple of weeks back and Canadanne discovered a couple of listings on BBC Genome, and even a clip on Vimeo!
I was right - it was FLIP. Very relieved I didn't make this up!
Does anyone else have one they want help with reminding about?

I'm not sure if these programmes existed or if my memories are just confused.

I used to watch the Australian drama series 'Kelly' about a German Shepherd police dog. The mystery is that I seem to recall another, very similar programme about a dog which aired around the same time - I'm thinking it was some kind of spin-off / sister show, though it might have been unrelated - but I have no idea what that was called, if I haven't completely imagined it. (It looks like there was a second German Shepherd who appeared in Kelly, so I don't know if I'm just thinking of that?) It wasn't The Littlest Hobo, which I also watched and remember quite distinctly.
-
I also have this vague feeling that 'Space Cats' was on Channel 4 about the same time as a similar-and-possibly-related show? Again, it's all very hazy now... Space Cats included both live-action and cartoon segments, so perhaps I wrongly remembered those as being two separate programmes. Or maybe there really was something else as well. I don't know why I would have dreamed up extra programmes out of nowhere, but my brain works in mysterious ways sometimes!
Did anyone watch either of these things, or have any clue what I'm talking about?

A show I sort of remember was a live action game show which seemed a bit like Time Busters but with adults, but they had backpacks and had to avoid being short at while doing/looking for whatever task they had.
Must have been early 90s, unless it was a German show I use to watch while living out there.

Are you thinking of Interceptor?

Never saw Interceptor. Looks like the sort of thing I'd have enjoyed.
This reminds me of another Knightmaresque game show I saw once, which featured adults. It's a very hazy memory - as I recall, it waa a bit like The Krypton Factor meets Virtually Impossible, in that it was fairly episodic, each team having one episode and collecting points.
There were a number of games in a futuristic (fairly cyberpunk) kind of setting, but unlike The Crystal Maze, the whole team took part in the games. The only one I remember was called "Crusher"; it was set in a large junk crusher - I remember the team having to do something (find something?) and then get out before they were crushed... that's all I remember!
Long shot, I know!

It somehow manages to be awful and brilliant at the same time. As a kid I found it really tense and scary. As an adult I find it hilarious!

That was Scavengers! The Crusher used to scare the crap out of me!

Oh cool Interceptor, that's it I would have never guessed the name, no idea where I watched it because we didn't have ITV in Germany, must have seen an odd ep on a home visit.
Never watched Scavengers, I don't really remember it but I watched the clip on that site and it looks familiar, looks pretty good.

Heh, I just discovered that Bill Cashmore was one of the writers on this programme!

Dredging up this thread because I've recently had another unknown show come to my memory. I'm not sure whether this was on CITV or CBBC, but it was definitely on at least one of those programming blocks.
Anyway, this one was mostly based around talking animals (mainly rodents) - I seem to remember them being real trained animals with voiceovers, but they may have been realistic puppets; it has been a while! - living in some sort of settlement.
Two details I remember are clear:
(i) there was a large alarm clock on the set which had the seasons set out in French (ie. printemps, été, etc.) rather than the numbers 1 - 12, making me assume that the original show was French (which it probably wasn't, actually).
(ii) there was a location in the show which featured quite regularly: an animal prison named Cling Cling (evidently an allusion to Sing Sing, something I think would have been lost on a lot of younger viewers). I don't remember it being in every episode, but it was very often talked about.
I don't remember anything else about it, but maybe those details will jog someone else's memories! Any thoughts?

I don't remember this at all, so it probably wasn't on CBBC. Hope someone else knows!

This is driving me insane. Does anyone remember a TV character who would often exclaim "Bless us and save us!", maybe around the '90s or early 2000s?
Julia Brogan in Brookside said that, or something similar.

Hmm... I don't clearly remember this character (I only started watching Brookside a few months before she died), but that could be it! Would make sense for it to be someone from a soap.
