I was just a little kid, so my memories are scarse. But here are the facts:
1 - It was no animation. It had real people.
2 - It was in color. Maybe 70s or early 80s.
3 - Maybe BBC.
4 - The story, as I remember it, was set in the 18th or 19th centuries. Could have been Victorian style.
5 - I think is H. P. Lovecraft or Edgar Allan Poe inspired.
Thanks a lot.
Perhaps you are remembering the Doctor Who episode The Horror of Fang Rock, in which a green jellyfish-like alien called a Rutan climbed a lighthouse, as shown in the screenshot on this page:
It aired on BBC in 1977, was live-action and in color, and was set around 1900, so it matches your criteria 1-4 (not sure if it was directly Lovecraft or Poe inspired but it had that sort of style).
