Hey guys!
(Wow, I started more thread in 3 weeks than in 3 years)

Ok, I'm looking for the name of an Sci-Fi show
*From the 70's or early 80's.
*Probably from England.  (dunno I watched it in french - can't find any clue from French-CBC archives)
*Looks a lot like the 4th dimension / twilight zones but it was sci-fi.
*Bad endings,
*Small stories up to 3 by episodes
*30  minutes broadcast.

*Known as Temps X (Time X) in french but it's not the tech Show from France with the same name.

Anyone have a clue?

I know Hammer Film made movies based on the old Tales From The Cript comics, maybe that's what you are looking for.

EDIT:
Oh, it seems it wasn't Hammer Films but another english film production company.

Nope :(. The 1960's version is too old, the 1990's version is too new.
The show were in color, but the brownish broadcasting of the 70's / 80's.

Nope :( Even scary, the show were sci-fi based.

Like :
- "here we created the most powerfull computer ever made by mankind"
-"What time is it?"
-"Ask him"
- "it's 12:30 15 seconds and 1/10 eee no it's 12:30 15 seconds and 2/10 eee no it'S...."
(The computer explode)

If you can remember at least a few words or phrases mentioned in the show (translate them from french or something), you can try your luck at  this dialogue browser.
It's quite a lame site, though. You cannot use advanced options of searching (year etc.) and you cannot jump to a next page of displayed results. Either that, or I'm too retarded to use it  :P
Hmm..it's kinda steep. But with a sled I can slide down the slope.

There was probably another thread for this, but this seems the most recent.

I'm trying to remember the name of this movie, it was french, I think, or maybe italian, about this little girl in WW1 or 2, who has to move in with this army guy who her mother marries, and she hates it, but she makes friends with all these fantastical creatures who send her on missions.

I remember lots of people discussing it here on AGS, and I'm probably doing it a disservice with my description, but the memory of it just popped in my head, and I can't remember the movie!

Pan's Labyrinth?  It kind of matches that description.  But it's Spanish, and set after the Spanish civil war, not a World War.

I've never seen the show in question, but the description sounds a lot like Sapphire & Steel to me...
