Interbang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Opening titles

Interbang was an Italian television series created by Paul Casalini which prominently featured the interrobang symbol, a combination of the exclamation point and the question mark.

The series was based in and around Pisa, and featured two children trying to collect a number of souvenir statues of the Leaning Tower; whilst trying to prevent a group of criminals also getting their hands on the statues. Each episode a different statue would be recovered by one of the opposing sides, with each statue displaying a different coloured version of an interrobang.

When all the statues were placed in the correct order - on a secret panel inside the Leaning Tower - a secret treasure was supposed to be uncovered. In the final episode, the criminals stole all the statues and placed them incorrectly into the secret panel - causing the Tower to launch into outer space.

In Italy it was broadcast on Odeon TV. In the UK the show was broadcast on The Children's Channel in the late 1980s.
