Moon and Son (1992)
Astrologer Gladys Moon and her psychic son, Trevor, travel between Folkestone and Calais, conducting readings, selling occult wares and getting involved in various crimes and mysteries. Despite reports that the BBC had already commissioned a second series prior to the first series' broadcast, only thirteen episodes were produced and it was swiftly axed due to poor ratings, despite a primetime Saturday evening timeslot.
