British kids' TV show

Willeth

I just remembered a show about a kid who had a friend who lived in a coin. It may have been a 50 pence piece.

Come to think of it, that may only have been one episode. It might have been that his friend was a shapeshifter, and could appear to be anything.

All I can really remember is the name 'Wally'.

I'd really appreciate anyone finding out what this was. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

EDIT: I think the plot of the episode involved him accidentally spending his friend while he was a coin.

Dunno if this is it - but i remembed a show about a magical 50p coin that used to be showed on BBC1 when I was a kid

The Queen' Nose?

Was it animated or live action?

No, I should have said that it's not that, because I knew that's the first thing people would think of

It was live-action.

Wally may have been an alien, and the id's job was to introduce him to Earth culture. Maybe?

There was a live action one about a bunch of ghosts, I'd imagine one of them possessing a 50p coin would have been a likely scenario for an episode. Don't recall the name though, wasn't rent-a-ghost, much more recently than that but probably mid nineties so I'd only know of it through my little sister watching it.

Ghost Writer? Wasn't that.

Szechuanosaurus

Nah, this had more than one ghost and no Americans. Did your show have ghosts? If not this is a useless line of enquiry. Were there parents who were aliens? Was it serious or comedic?

Willeth

No and no.

I'm increasingly sure he was an alien who had to be kept in his room. Ugh.

Oh, that's ringing a bell. I might be thinking of a US or Australian thing though. There was one, Australian I think, where the boy was an alien living with a family. Don't recall if he could morph or not though.

Oh shit...Mike and Angelo?

Or Watt on Earth?

Don't know why I missed this at the time, but yes, this is exactly it.
