Digby - The Worlds Biggest Dog.
I had a discussion the other day about lost tv shows and films. Always a good way to end a party.
I remembered this, and no one else did. Therefore I won, no matter what anyone else thinks.
What do you guys think you would have won with?

"Children of the stones"
This used to scare the living shit out of me back in the 70's. What was slightly
controversial about it was the time slot, 4:45 PM. This was what actor
Gareth Thomas did before he went on to make "Blakes 7"

The Boy from Outer Space? It featured a boy who was silver that's all I remember. He had a silver pudding bowl haircut.

That triggers a memory
Might not be connected though. I remember a show about a small group of kids who seemed to be constantly running away from some threat that turned up in a black Lotus Esprit.
I also remember a show (might not be the same one) where the baddies were called Weirdigans, but Google is being especially crap on that one.
