Influences...

When I was a boy in Magyarország, there were a couple of TV series that blew me away. (Mind I was about 8-1o yrs old.) I have been trying to find these for over 3o years - finally the interwebs delivers. Here's the first: Le Visiteurs, a.k.a. A Látogatók. It was about two aliens who come to Earth to find 6 other aliens who have never returned from their mission. They had spooky names like Alambda, Zarko, Reka, Pirvii, Kyrin, and Memno. They were hairless dudes! The two aliens were a man and a woman - and she could stop time with a little gizmo! They were telepathic too! And they travel the world trying to find these aliens - only to be tricked every time by a mean little dwarf in a wig, who drags them into surreal adventures. And the theme music - spoooooooky. Very hard to find - but I'm a Black Belt Pirate Lvl 10. Anyhoo - here's the first two episodes of "Les Visiteurs" - if you just want to hear the spooky themesong (by Georges Delerue - and it's great) ffwd to 47:37.




Spooky!
