Kids TV show 80's

If anyone can get this they are amazing. I don't have much information except that it was a sort of educational history/science type of programe taht had a fairly large cast. It was sort of in the style of the shows that Johnny Ball used to do. I know for a fact one of the cast was Sylvester Mccoy and each week, one of the group drew the short straw and had to go and see the resident inventor who I think was called Wilf Lunn, and his strange inventions used to keep bloeing up. Any aideas anyone! its been driving me potty for years

You know, it might simply have been Vision On which had those charachters in it (ceratinly Wilf Lunn and Sylvester McCoy were in it) and the inventor was I think called 'the prof'

Google 'vision on' Mr Ix and that should confirm it

It was actually called 'Eureka'. Wilf Lunn provided comic relief with disaster-prone useless inventions, including an exploding seagull-shaped hat. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/tv/titles/eureka.shtml

Thank you it was Eureka I was thinking of. I had forgotten Beadle was in it.
