The aussie thing... it was called "The Stranger" and at the time (I was only little) I thought it was the greatest thing ever - mainly because the aliens had their own language, which actually seemed "right", i.e., it wasn't just a meaningless jumble of sounds. I can even remember some of the Soshunite dialogue. How f***ing sad is that? This series came at a time when aliens were universally supposed to be nasty, and here we had "strangers" who were not only benign, but civilised, intelligent, etc. It was superb.
