Hi guys,
I am wondering if you can help me to find this. The memory of this show is driving me crazy, and I cannot find it anywhere - and it is definitely not a fever dream or something I have imagined - because I saw it multiple times
Here is everything that I know:
>It was a live action kids tv show that aired around 1996/97
>I think the show might have aired on Nickelodeon, but it could have been on TCC (which we received on terrestrial TV here in Ireland before Nickelodeon became available off satellite)
> I have a vague feeling that the show was from Canada - but I don't know why
> The show aired during the day, I only ever saw it when I was off school
>The show was educational, and I think each episode was about a historical event, or something scientific. I vaguely remember one episode being about World War II - but I'm honestly not sure.
>The premise of the show was that there was normal teenager, who lived with his parents - and after school, when he went to his room, he secretly transported to being the captain of a kind of intergalactic spaceship - or time machine that looked like a spaceship.
> The spaceship then travelled around going to different time periods and investigating different concepts - I guess to teach the viewers things - but I honestly don't remember much about the topics covered, except that they were historical and/or scientific
> When he transformed to become the captain, he would wear a blue kind of star trek uniform - and I vaguely remember one episode where someone on the ship (the orange hair guy described below) accidentally told him that they only chose him as captain because the uniform was his size.
> I don't remember the transformation process at all - but I guess the kid goes through a portal in his bedroom into the ship or something like that..
> The kid had slicked back hair with loads of gel
> There was at least two other crew members on the ship with him - one was a woman - and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the other crew member was a man who had orange hair and an orange beard and glasses. The guys hair was all gelled back but it went into a point - kind of like he was in a wind tunnel. And I remember he had really bushy orange eyebrows. (Note - I think this guy is key because his appearance was very weird, and I think he was the most noticeable character)
That is pretty much everything that I remember of it - I really hope that someone will remember this and help me find the name of the show!
As I say, I think the orange hair guy was really noticeable and he might jog someone's memory!
