The bad news is, I do not have that scene, but I remember seeing it.

The good news is, the show is not "lost"....and can be ordered on DVD from www.ioffer.com

FYI this show was not technically a "spinoff" from The Rockford Files....cos Richie Brockelman was a totally separate 2hr tv mystery  movie in 1976, and then in 1978 they merged that character into 3 episodes of The Rockford Files, and then when Jim Garner took a summer break from filming (he was plagued with back injuries during that series and often out of action) they replaced the Rockford Files summer shows with 5 separate episodes of Richie Brockelman Private Eye instead. So...it is really what they call a "crossover series" as opposed to a spinoff". As I mentioned,you can order the 1976 pilot movie and the 5 episodes of Richie Brockelman on DVD from Ebay or ioffer.com. If you are getting the main Rockford Files series aired in your region, you can probably see those 5 separate Richie Brockelman episodes too, cos when Stephen Cannell syndicated the Rockford Files he also sold the 5 episodes together in the same package to tv stations so they often get aired as part of the Rockford Files series.

But I have heard of children of the dog star, but I have never seen it, or know what its about..

• Spellbinder (~1995) – firstly when Riana falls off a bridge and is rescued by Paul in one of the first episodes (awesome wet ponytail, and the only /good/ scene that I can recall), then later (towards the end of Riana's World) when Riana and Paul are making their way down a river

• Eye of the Storm (1993) – various damp scenes involving diving, and one semi-wet scene when the baddie woman has her hand caught in some sort of contraption as some sort of chamber floods

• The Tomorrow People (1990s series) – the kids would teleport in their sleep or on bodily impact, and wake up in the sea off some island by a spaceship (just seemed an excuse for wetlook to me – waking up wet in bed seemed to be there to give the characters a frightening clue that their dreams were in fact reality, before they realised what was going on …)

Most of what I saw on TV, I am not sure I ever understood, or I forgot so fast that it's as if I never saw anything but the most tenuous fragments. I never figured out Children of the Dog Star, though it creeped me the hell out. I can only assume that the creepy show "The Queen's Beast" was C.A.B series 3 – though all I can remember apart from the titles is frequent scenes at a narrowboat on a canal in an industrial wasteland, and that doesn't match up. Basically a lot of stuff creeped me out :-P

I was enjoying The Magic Crown until that got axed (no idea what it was about now, some sort of sci-fi animation), and CITV also axed Spellbinder at the end of Riana's World (exactly half-way through the show). Useless TV channel.

That's all I can remember off the top of my head now. I also remember one of the Peter and Jane books, one of my sister's, where Jane was depicted with a very accurate portrayal of soaked hair. That was really cool too.

Does anyone remember any kids tv dramas from yesteryear??  I can't remember much about them, but there are a couple I have been trying to think of, and track down, but without the titles, its pointless.

1) All I can remember is there was a dark skinned girl stood in a witches cave, by a rock pool, she falls in the rock pool, and the next thing you know is she is in a centre parks swimming pool.

2) All I remember from this one is that it was an autralian drama, and two girls where trapped in some kind of water tank, in a river, and in order to get out one had to swim down and through some kind of a passage, in order to let the other one out.

3) Is a lot more recent, and all I can tell you about it is, it is about a group of youths working some kind of circus (Very SiFi).

So if anyone has any ideas I would be glad to hear them.  Or if you can think of any of your own, lets see if we can help..
