Does anyone remember Kinvig.

[RetroJay]

Hi all.

Got into a conversation the other day about a tv program I remember called Kinvig (I think).
It was about a shop keeper who had a female alien land in his back yard. (as far as I remember).

I was just wondering if anyone else remembers this show. I can't think how it ended, even if it did. I don't think it was very popular.

Thanks.
Jay.

Ooh! Another one was "Saphire and Steel". I always remember the one at the ghostly train station. But there was another one where they were
trapped in a room with pillows that turned into big birds and attacked them. Does anyone remember that one?
Saphire was Joanna Lumley (spelled wrongly I suspect) and Steel was (?). I think it was the guy from "Man from uncle" but I can't remember his name.

@StrangeVisitor : I think RetroJay was more in a mood to chat about those shows than looking for It's Wiki link.

Sad, I don't recall anything like those

While we're there, anyone can find me the name of that british show set in an haunted mansion where the characters were ghosts? I guess it was a comedy but I was too young to not be frightened by the weird historical character.

Thanks StrangeVisitor for the wiki links.
However LUniqueDan was correct. I did only want to talk about those old tv shows.

Anyway. LUniqueDan the only show that I can think of that nearly matches what you said was a show
called "Rent a Ghost". Although this was not set in a mansion.
It did have a wierd historical character though called "Mr Claypole" who was a court jester. There was also a woman who used
to dissapear when she sneezed, called "Miss Popoff".
Other characters were a pantomime horse and a witch called "Mc Witch".
They all worked for mr and Mrs "Meeker" who they lived with.

Hope this is the show you're talking about. I can't think of any other around that time.

Jay.

Yup it was Rentaghost! Thanks RetroJay.

The human brain does store a lot of things. That was 24 years ago.
