           I know it was broadcast on one of the early satellite services -   
   I think BSB - but I'm not sure about ITV. In its Robotech form its   
   reasonably well known.   
           Its a a reasonably good series for its time, with an   
   interestingly edgy premise - quite possibly the only show where humanity   
   has had its butt kicked not just once, but three times before the first   
   episode is over (hence the guess; from the point of view of the alien   
   Inbit invaders the presence of humanity is something of a non-issue).   
   This set-up is slightly spoiled by the fact that the Inbit are far and   
   away the worst shots of all time, and thats coming from a mecha fan.

           I rather suspected as much... ^_^   
      
   >Hint: the riddles are for the titles.   
      
           My second guess would be Please Save My Earth.
