Oh yeah I remember, one of my favourites - I can't remember much of it now apart from the solar condor flying thing and some kinda weird monkey creatures running down a mountain... seems to be tied together in memory with Willy Fogg and Dogtanian...

hell yeah! I' ve got half the series on CD, but certain evil scumfucks in copyright protection sent 'cease and desists' to the website i was getting them from. Motherfuckers should go back to ambulance-chasing, do something useful for a change.
Oh. Sorry. MCOG! yeah! giant solar-powered condors! Zea and Esteban! Tau!
I wish saomeone would make a movie of this- where they've all grown up and shit... Does anybody know of any MCOG slash????

Yeah, the link above, dumass.

As you've no doubt watched it recenly, help me out here.

I remrmber this big lizard monster from the maze, and some sort of sea/swamp monster, were there any other monsters in it?

And who remembers press gang?

And does anyone remember this prog that used to be on, not a cartoon, on saturday mornings on ITV. there's this old guy with glasses and a group of kids, trying to find 6 antique gold lizard statues with jewels embedded in them. That's all I can remember though. HELP!

Uh, what? does this refer to the bit about '...cease and desists from the website I was getting them from' in which case, 'no it wasn't, shit-for-brains

, I was getting from the now, much missed jsr.com'. And if you were referring to the MCOG-slash comment, I haven't looked at the site thoroughly yet, but I didn't see any....
But anyhoooooo:

I can't really remember either of the scenes you're referring to, so I've probably not got to that bit yet. There was a scene with crocodiles in a swamp, but no monsters per se. And I don't think I've gotten to any bit yet that could be adequetely described as a maze.
The kid with glasses collecting lizard statues might have been T-Bag and T-shirt. I don't remember the exact title of the show, but it was about an evil old witch named T-bag, and her unwilling young assistant T-shirt, who was actually a good guy, travelling thru space and time trying to collect things. Might not be though...

Probably because it was shown in the BBC childrens slot around the same time as the willy fogg and Dogtanian cartoons.

I think it was called the Seven Cities of Gold or something like that. It was a pretty cool show especially as somebody pointed out the Condor.

Another one I have really fond memories of was Ulysses 31. Anybody remember that one ?.

16:00 / 20.01.02

Yup Ulysses 31, another great one and another great theme... there should be a TV channel showing all this stuff, actually I think Fox Kids show it all at nights, Dungeons and Dragons anyone

And here's that lizard...

09:01 / 21.01.02

Can we not go down the same route every student goes through on hitting university, discussing MCOG and Ulysses 31 endlessly?

We all saw them. Course they were great.

Visionaries... was shite, by contrast.

09:13 / 21.01.02

Does that mean we have to stop talking about old movies and tv too ?

01:27 / 24.01.02

Alright does anyone remember CAB 123. It featured a kid who was always talking into a dictaphone using the eponymous call sign. It was children's tv in the 80's I believe. He solved crimes and it was episodic with a couple of series and I have been looking for anyone else in the world who remembers this as I always wanted to be this guy. There was one storyline featuring some sort of Egyptian artifact and some bad guys playing cards for it, but the game was something like Happy Families. Help Me. Please.
