"Space hippies on the Starship Enterprise and the time 'Neighbours' plunged us into a dog's subconscious are just some of the most surreal moments from our favourite TV.
There is weird television, and then there's weird television. When David Lynch makes a TV show, it's the former. When an otherwise conventional programme takes a sharp left turn into the surreal and confusing – and then never mentions it again – it's the latter.
The history of television is unusually full of episodes that in context make little sense, or seem to be the product of a slacking writing team.
Then there are episodes that attempt to do something radically different, but result in something alienating and strange. Admirable, yet TV you wish no one had bothered with.
From confusing crossover episodes to the time a kids TV show introduced a religious cult, here are 12 episodes of classic TV shows that proved more weird than successful."
