Obscure Sir John Mills Series, (BBC?)

potmunky

Anyone know what this is?...
Its from the eighties, (i think), and starred John Mills as some kinda scientist/astronomer-type, based at/near Stonehenge.
I only vaguely remember it, (prob coz I was hiding behind a cushion for a lot of it! :oops:

), but it scared the shite outta me when I were a nipper!
One bit I DO remember was something about a lot of Hippies turning up at Stonehenge, only to be zapped away in a blinding light, (poss/prob by Aliens?)! :lol:

Oh, that and an Alsatian dog, too!...

I wonder if this was some kinda Quatermass-type series?
Anyhoo. I dont know the name, so have had a lot of difficulty tracking it down.
Anyone any ideas/links?
:beerchug:

in advance...

GTC; you are indeed a God amongst, well, Gods...

I SOOOOOOO need this now! Anybody have this, or know where I could buy a copy on DVD? I dont want the 'remixed-into-a-movie' version; has to be the full 4 episodes!
Not bothered about a dload, either; I want the real thing, as Faith No More would say!

I'll try google/ebay etc, but dont hold any high hopes...

If I find it, i'll let yall know!
Thanks again, GTC!

Thanks again, GTC. If you ever require an organ, or anything; let me know! :mrgreen:
