So this is the place to find out whether an old program existed or whether your brain just made it up, huh? OK, then...
This one goes back to when I was maybe 5 or 6 I think, so the early 80s. It was a children's program where some humans would go to alien worlds and have to solve crime mysteries (whether they were actual detectives or stumbled on these things like Miss Marple I don't recall). At various points, the show would stop and it would cut to an audience of kids and a presenter and they (and you the viewer) were invited to solve the mystery.
What gave the show real definition was that the alien worlds and aliens were paintings (given it was 80s and BBC there was little animation to 'em), often quite impressive in a Nemesis the Warlock kind of way.
Any ideas? I'd love to see it again if only to see how much my memory has mangled it.
