It sound's familiar. Is it a mid 1980's TV theme tune?
It's definitely a TV theme, but more likely to be early 1990s if I recognise it.
Is it that SF kids show about a girl who came back from the future/went into the future? The Tomorrow Girl, or Tomorrow's World, something like that (can't remember the title)?
I have no idea what it is although given the cheesy Casio-type sound I'd hazard it's from maybe 1984/85 sometime. Mr Itchy knows he knows it but beyond saying "it's a TV theme" isn't being much help!
Ahh, was thinking that just as I came to the page to suggest it
Brings back memories. Was quite a good show, wasn't it? Yet another example of how the Australians and New Zealanders can produce good children's SciFi, and we can't....
My first thought was Benji, Zax And The Alien Prince. But now I seem to think it's the theme tune for a children's series about some girl from outer space. I certainly remember it from a TV programme I was well into...
Ah. No. My next guess is the girl who came back from the future, as greengolux said. Something Australian. She had to fix some stuff and then go back to her own time, IIRC.
She was kidnapped, and had to escape. Her time-travel pod was a rotating dodecahedron. And in the second series, on the way back from our time she crashlanded half-way, in the pre-utopia dystopia. And she had this headband that could harness the POWER OF HER MIND to levitate things. Ah, they don't make 'em like that anymore. :)
It was a hair-band with a cheesy crystal in it, which was placed on the forehead, wasn't it?
I have a feeling it glowed purple, gave out a purple beam, and magic things happened. Well, except for the third series (or was it the end of the second, the one in the far off future?), where I seem to remember someone trying to learn to use it, and bad things happened...
Yes, I remember the dodecahedron. And, now you mention it, the head band thing sounds familiar too.
I think this was the first TV show I ever watched properly. Our family didn't have a TV until the early nineties, and it took me a while to get the hang of it (I watched nothing but wildlife documentaries for the first year we had it). I think The Girl From Tomorrow was one of the first drama series I watched, and it made me begin to think that maybe this TV thing wasn't such an odd idea after all.

Definitely getting nostalgic whiffs though.

Time travel. It always wins me over. ;)
