  • Can you recall this very surreal 80s black comedy tv series?

    Patchy memory, but I am sure I saw it, on Channel 4 around the mid 80s. The only thing that sticks in my memory is a giant prawn, and by giant I mean 3m tall, chasing people down an otherwise normal British high street.

    I think it was real. I might have been high on legalised drugs at the time!

    Jam is noughties

    But worryingly, the giant prawn is triggering memories, dark memories blocked from normal thoughts

    They Came from Somewhere Else

    “The story is set in the fictional British new town of Middleford where Wendy, Colin and Martin are leading very dull, formulaic lives. The arrival of an American suffering from amnesia coincides with a series of increasingly bizarre events including a rain of liver, people getting sucked into drains, migraines so severe that they cause heads to explode, and zombies taking over the supermarket.”

    Any chance it’s a scene from the comic strip?

    They Came from Somewhere Else

    I almost certain this was the programme. I’ve had a quick scan of the episodes and can’t see any giant prawns, but part of my memory was convined that there was an american in it.

    I was 12 at the time so what the hell I was doing watching this is beyond me. Might explain a few things.

    <Edit> and there are the giant prawns!

    The real question is what the **** is wrong with maccruiskeens mind that the memory was that easily found….
