MOONDIAL rewatch, Thursday 6th September
M1795537OCVirn
Starting at 7.45pm (BST)

At last someone has uploaded MOONDIAL (1988 children's TV series) to YT, with Madam President taking a* starring role. I've been looking for somewhere to stream this for ages, so thankyou Owen Davies!
It's adapted from Helen Cresswell's book in six half-hour episodes, so I suggest we watch two this week.

Episode 1
Tragedy strikes on the first day of Minty's summer holiday and begins a chain of events that leads her back in time and into a desperate struggle with witches, evil spirits and maybe the Devil himself.

Episode 2
Minty meets Sarah, a mysterious hooded child from the house, and sees for herself the miserable life that Tom leads as a kitchen boy.

I'm excited about this! (can you tell?) But I should warn you that it's a while before Miss Raven turns up. Also, I've long wanted to give Araminta a slap. Just sayin'.

This sounds good . . .

Nice. I was hoping we'd do more in this line. Green Knowe put me in the mood for classic serials of yesteryear. C u tmrw!

I expect you have lots of reasons to hide, you rebels.

She already needs a slap.

Minty doesn't - the graves of the poor little children bore her.

The dialogue all sounds very improbable just now. The aunt slaps her, but doesn't apologize, and all the talk about her mother's accident just sounds very far-fetched.

That's what you get for calling me 'nibs'. It was filmed on location at Belton House, Cambridgeshire.
