Does anybody remember a kids TV show from the eighties with a yellow flying saucer robot, a boy and, as far as i remember, a dog?

I remember an american show aired on BBC 1 here in England on kids teatime TV that is based around the adventures of a young boy and a yellow robot but cannot for the life of me remember the title...

The only details I remember are that the robot is a kind of flying saucer with a neck and head coming out of the top.

The title sequence involves the robot inside a dustbin.

There may be a dog involved in the story somehow.

If you can form any ideas of what on earth i'm talking about then please help! I don't think I particularly liked the show more than any other but its really bugging me that I can't remember its name!

IMDb entry and a picture.

Heh, I wasted precious minutes searching for a cartoon show. Ah, well.

YAY! Thankyou very much matey, that'll do nicely! I can't wait to see their confused faces at work tomorrow.

(Google seems to show it to be Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince but who cares about insignificant details like that when you have this knowledge under your hat!)

Thanks again Longbaugh.
