Spaceman...

Hi! There was this TV show, right? It was about a kid up north somewhere who was getting bullied at school, and he had aspirations of becoming an astronaut (I *think*). There are two main bits that I remember, one was him getting tied to a chair and thrown in a swimming pool, the other was him walking out of his house with Radiohead - Creep playing as the soundtrack.

Anyway, I'd muchly like to know what it was called, because it was like, great. If anyone remembers, t'would be appreciated. TIA.

wtf am I doing up at this time with a hangover...bah!

Anyway mate been racking my little brain for ages now and can't think of the series sorry. Any more clues? How long ago was it on? 80s 90s etc?

dammit i remember the programme you are talking about. it was fantastic. Unfortuntely i cant remember the name of it, and ive had no luck searching the web :/ i would really like to know the name of it if anyone can rememeber.

Right, lets look at the clues -

Radiohead - Creep was released around '92, '93 or '94 so this program ain't that old.

The only shows/films I know of that this song has been in are S.F.W and a british documentary type thing about arson, the arson program was around the mid 90's but I don't think this is the one we are after.

Ermmmmmmm thats all the clues I could comment on, maybe a search for all the stuff that the song has been used in will bring some results, I'm at work and my boss ain't here(Lester ), so besides stealing chocolate and playing football with this foil ball I've just made, I will make it my duty to search all the web.

I would put the year it was shown at about 97-98, I think. It's really starting to annoy me now.

 

[caLLous]

Someone must remember what this program is called.

It's ungoogleable and doing my tree.

If you really do wanna watch it again or something, why not just email the company that aired it on TV? Like ITV or BBC... im sure they will tell you what the programme was

 

[caLLous]

I'm not entirely sure what channel it aired on though, although it sounds like something Channel 4 would make.

 

[Kempo]

I was hoping to get hold of it somehow, but a quick google proves that it appears to be unavailable to buy.
