Space Precinct was great! :lol:

Star Cops was an interesting series, shame it didn't last (it had a good writer, Chris Boucher, of Dr. Who, Blakes 7, Juliet Bravo and Bergerac fame. The trouble was, the mix of Sci-Fi and Cop didn't really work. It was also reminiscent of Outland.

I was going to say Terrahawks, but it seems that everybody here has heard of it. This forum is the first place I've ever come across anyone who's heard of it.

It probably was awful, but I loved it at the time.

Let's not forget that Star Fleet also had a great theme tune, by brian May. :D

Terrahawks? I think the best thing about that was the noughts and crosses game at the beginning... :roll:

I may well be wrong... a lot of whisky has flowed under the bridge since then... ;)

I'm with Matt on this. I haven't yet checked anywhere online but I'm pretty sure the noughts and crosses game was at the end of the show.

It is the end with noughs and crosses, some episodes had the cubes cheating by pushing off the circles to make them forcibly win

The only thing I remember about Terrahawks was the Zeroids - had a football that was made to look like one :)

Round The Bend? Anyone remember that? This starts off with one of their cartoons and the video (literally) is rough in places :lol: :

Round the Twist is the aussie one.
That was brilliant!

Brilliant.

It was one of those things adults could laugh at too (the occasional joke about Thatcher and so on) :D

Brilliant.

I absolutely fookin' loved that! The first episode I ever watched, I just sat there with my jaw open. Without my pants. :o

I don't recall Round the Bend. However, Youtube suggests that I should learn more:
