Does anyone remember Die Plus Faktor?

Hi, I'm looking for information about a TV series that ran years ago, sometime between 1978 and 1980; here is what I remember about it:

  • It was a relatively short series (6 episodes I think) called Die Plus Faktor
  • It showed on Saturday nights around 19:00 - 20:00
  • It was an Afrikaans dubbed series
  • The two lead characters were known as Ian and Barbara
I don't remember the story anymore but I'm pretty sure it was some type of spy and/or
science fiction series (I seem to remember something about a nuclear reactor going ballistic).

I've been doing a lot of searching and I suspect it might have been one of the early Dr. Who series (the first
companions were Ian and Barbara) but none of the series descriptions I've read rang any bell and the actors
look different from what I remember (but I was still young at the time and memory is a funny thing).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What about this?

A kids program YEARS ago - it was a focused for black kids to watch. In the 80s and 90s.
(Obviously) black people dressed in costumes - a bright yellow duck that was 3/4 height of a full grown man and a bright pink pig that was normal man size.
So every program starts where the parents go to work and the kids stay with grandma at home, then this duck comes and pick up the kids and they travel with a hot air balloon to his farm far far away. Then they learn stuff from the duck and his partner - the 'pink' pig with black hands (he never wore pink gloves). Then the afternoon they fly back and the kids report back when ma and pa gets home - thinking that grandma taught them all the things.
It was irritating, but also very funny in those days. The duck used to go "kwa kwa kwa", then talk a bit, then go "kwa kwa kwa kwa" again. It used to be on TV3.
I'd love to get the name of this program.

Then there was the ever irritating "Pumpkin patch"...

what was that one where Tobie Cronje kept asking about "Trixie se spene"?

That was "Die avonture van Joachim Verwey" in 1981. It is often confused with "Willem" in which Cronje also starred in 1976.

Is there a prize for answering your question almost 20 years later?? :cool:

Would anyone know the name of a show late 80's, 90's. Used to be on in the afternoons, was a mix of live action with mechanical animals/ships. I remember the one used to shoot red lazers out of it's eyes and they were always trying to infiltrate each others bases. Was in english.

You've probably forgotten about this question and there are too many replies to see if anyone answered you correctly. So, it's most likely "Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future" from 1987. Have fun rewatching it. I think it's on youtube.
