Hello everyone,
I am looking for a film with a science fiction feel that was shown on British TV in the late eighties or very early nineties. It might have been a feature, but I am pretty sure it was part of a series.
The film was in colour.
Memories are faint, but the scene I remember featured a space craft or some sort of smallish ship (like a shuttle from Star Trek perhaps) that had landed in a type of jungle. The jungle seemed mostly brown and devoid of green. There was a wild tangle of brown vines hanging from the trees, and the ground was covered in a thick layer of leaves.
Strange Yak-like creatures were coming out of the undergrowth and closing in on the craft. They walked on two legs and I think they were covered in brown fur. If I recall correctly, they had long white horns sticking out on each side of their heads.
There was a person inside the craft looking out via a video monitor, perhaps a window.
I also remember the TV guide advertising the film. The people with the landing craft were on some sort of mission to find a rare type of metal or mineral on the planet. The synopsis also stated that the mission was urgent.
Thank you for your help!

Reason: needed to specify shape of antagonists better
