That the one with those gigantic walking tripods that sometimes grabbed one person by the head/neck and pulled them inside, and upon return they would have a shaven head and a funky tribal metal cap on instead, the whole thing being some sort of initiation ritual? I watched that a couple of times when I was a kid. At one end it scared me, at the other end I thought the show was incredibly daft. I guess I was just too young...
