I was going to post this late last night but decided to wait until daylight so more people would read it.

Basically, I remember watching some tv series as a kid during the 80s, at least I think it was a tv series, probably on during the weekend. I can't remember any characters but I do remember scenes where the ground would crack and these creatures in the shape of a person would come out, then literally loads of them would come out of the ground, it was as if their skin was a shell and whenever it cracked blood would come out. This has been bugging me for a while now, can anyone shed some light on what this tv series could be. It used to freak me out too if I recall. :D

Most likely to be American, with real actors. It could be even older than the 80's, I think it was on Sundays mid afternoon.
 
V was Yank actors. I just remember the aliens were sort of a lizard (with a long reptile tongue) in a human skin. Pretty cak really.
Don' remember the popping out the ground thing you describe.

Then it couldn't be V I'm thinking of. The same type of thing happened every week, someone would be walking over dry dusty ground and then it would crack and these things would come out but they were brittle and easily killed with something hard.

:D

This has racked my brains for many years, I'd say it was definitely on around 1986/87, and could have ran on for years after that and could have been on for many years before that. I think I need to find a real geeky sci-fi forum to get answers. Any of the friends I have told, seem to vaguely remember it but like me don't remember enough of it to pinpoint it.
 
Anyone remember a cartoon in the 80s with robots thats heads open (Saucer shaped), they were black with red visors and each head that opened had a different gadget. I can't remember much more than that but there were gold ones as well.
