I found that with "Monkey" (aka "Monkey Magic"). Loved it as a kid, spent £££s on the box set, got about 4 episodes in and had to stop!
Incidentally, does anyone know of a horror/sci-fi film in which the bad guys / aliens throw these pizza-like things at people, sticking to them and growing tentacles which dig into their flesh?!? I saw it as a kid when TV first went all through the night, been trying to track it down ever since.
