Parallel 9
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parallel 9 was a British Childrens Television show that aired weekly on a Saturday morning from 1992 to 1994.
The premise of the show focused on Mercator, an old alien prince with very long eyebrows who had been banished to Parallel 9 as a result of his thirst for knowledge - a criminal offence on his home planet.
As part of his punishment, he was allowed to awake for only 2 hours a week; from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays, and had the ability to ‘beam up’ guests from Earth to Parallel 9.
Amongst the other characters that made regular appearances on the show were Calendular - an earth girl who had become a permanent resident on Parallel 9, and three other criminals who had been banished from their home planet; Steyl, Skyn and Thynkso. The latter three spent the entirety of the show plotting ways to escape Parallel 9.
2 further series' followed the first, but the latter suffered from diminishing popularity that was attributed in part to the re-casting of many roles. This eventually led to the show's cancellation in 1994.
