    Loved it!

    This was a great show. I remember watching this on CBBC after school. The actor Mike Walling (now in Coronation St as Roy Cropper's nerdy friend) was in it and I think he played Billy Webb's father. He was in hospital with his leg in plaster and would be sat alongside a different person each episode. He would be telling the other person the adventures of Billy Webb and Alfonso Bonzo and we would see the action as told through his story. At the end of each episode, the 'other' would always ask a question "but what happened to the ...?", for example, and the reply would always be " I WAS JUST COMING TO THAT" and in that moment it would end, a cliff-hanger for the next episode. Mystical, magical, unusual and captivating, not to mention boasting a brilliant theme tune (available online). This should be repeated.

    • Trivia
      Alfonso's last gift to Billy is a TV set which can allow him to step inside what he's watching. When Billy, perturbed by what then happens, asks where the set is, Alfonso replies "Why, Billy Webb, this is the set, nor are we out of it." This echoes Christopher Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus": Faustus asks Mephostophilis how he has escaped from Hell, and the spirit replies, "Why, this is Hell, nor am I out of it". Like Mephostophilis, Alfonso has the power to grant wishes and his true nature only gradually becomes obvious.
