Mike and Angelo was a TV series that ran on CITV between 1989 and 2000. It centred on Angelo (played initially by Tyler Butterworth and from series 2 by Tim Whitnall), an alien who came from another world during the first series; the portal from his world being that of a wardrobe in one of the bedrooms. He lived with Mike (played for most of the show's run by Michael Benz), a young boy who lived with his mother called Rita. Later series' had a new actor playing Mike's aunt Katy Murphy who was called Katy. Together, Mike and Angelo would get up to all kinds of crazy adventures - all within the vicinity of the house that they lived in. Angelo would always be inventing something crazy, or walking on the ceiling (due to him being an alien), or summoning up historical figures from the past. They would always wreak havoc together (much to Katy's annoyance, crying "ANGELO!!" in her Scottish accent constantly). Their neighbours were the posh Fawkes-Bentleys, in whose house some of the show's scenes were occasionally based. In 1999, during the show's penultimate run, Mike became a girl for the first time, using the logic that her first name was Michaela (Mike is short for Michael). The show was last screened in March 2000.
