This one has been bugging me for awhile. Searches turn up everything but this. You guys here seem to have helped me before when I’ve had a show to id, so I’ll put it to you:
Early-mid 80’s or earlier. I saw it then but it could have been from the late 70’s and rerun. Live action and puppets. Two human people (or more) in a space ship. My parents said they were British, but I don’t know. The main thing I remember is a puppet bear or bear-like thing. He was very stuffed animal looking. His head turned real slow and he made small warbly cute noises. I think he may have been supposed to be an alien, not earth bear. This I know for sure: Usually he was good, but when he got angry, his EYES TURNED GLOWING YELLOW. Then he was bad. I think his name was THEORY. Of this I am pretty sure. In one episode he was in a cage and was angry and had sharp fangs.
I think this show was originally from the BBC and was airing on PBS.
Well, it’s not an exact fit, but there was a bizarre Gerry Anderson puppet show called Terrahawks that featured an evil teddy bear monster/character called Yuri.
I believe that may be it, thanks! I didn’t remember them all being puppets but since a lot of them are human looking I was probably too young to realize they were. I never grasped what the concept of the show was about anyway so its very possible that this is the right one.
hmm, doubtful. I think it was Terrahawks. I just called my Dad, who watched the show with me back then, he says that name sounds familiar and that the cast WAS all puppets! So yes, thanks a bunch, Crusoe!
