Lift Off!

I have been trying to find evidence of this for ages, because it was so fucking petrifying and scarring. Nobody else seemed to remember it, but now I know it is real. I was scared, because my brain tends to make horrible, horrible things up, things that never really happened, but at least this is real.

"Lift Off!". It was an educational TV programme made by the Australians.



A smiling Aborigine. That's nice enough, almost delightful. Nothing to worry about there...



A giant with a head grafted to his ankle. This is not even a taste of the horribleness about to be made all too real. Lift Off! featured lots of scary things like alien backpacks and strange plants just laying around in places they shouldn't be:



Why does it have an appendage with an eye? Why? Why did the camera zoom in on it as it followed the children around the room? It was never a plot device. It was just there, being petrifying.

Most of all, Lift Off! featured this:



A nice family, how lovely. Wait, what is that in the corner?



OH GOD NO.



OH GOD, WHY? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?



ARGH!



OH! PLEASE GET HELP. SOMEBODY HELP. MAKE THIS ALL GO AWAY.
