Out Of The World (1987-1991) is a show about a half-alien teenage girl living with her mother on Earth. In particular, she talks to her alien father telepathically through a strange "cube" device:
Evie is able to communicate with Troy through a special "genetic" communication device known as the "cube", which he gave to her when she turned thirteen. The cube effectively functions as a telephone line to Antareus — it can even be used to leave Troy an "answerphone" message, as seen in the episode "My Little Evie". There are no controls on the cube; Evie simply calls for her father and the cube activates when he answers, deactivating when he "hangs up".
