CotS had better be good after all this.

Fret not - it'll be phantasmagorical. And that's just Mrs Crabtree standing in the road! If nothing else, CotS will make you redefine what you think astrophysics is. No, really. (You may need to re-read this post after you've seen Episode One.)

TT's posted the links already so I'm sure AA will be able to find them as/when she needs/wants them.

Edit: CotS is basically The Wicker Man for kids. I think you'll enjoy it - assuming you're the sort of person who might indeed enjoy The Wicker Man for kids.

How about Casting The Runes, 1979 Yorkshire tv adaptation?
Of ,M R James
Link with Children Of The Stones, both star Ian Cuthbertson.
50min long

Matthew (Peter Demin) says to his father Adam (Gareth Thomas) “pretty FANTASMAGIRICAL with an F ,which means more fantastic than fantastic “
Then Adam replies “ Rubbish ,it’s PH as in a series of illusions or phantoms “.
One of best opening lines (part off) of any children’s tv programmes.
And I agree a sort of wicker man for kids.

Ha! Yes, that's absolutely the case. Well remembered! I was (sort of) quoting Adam/Gareth rather than Matthew... (That's the bit just before they get the age of the stones' erection hopelessly wrong... Oh and astrophysics my *rse.)

And we mustn't forget the spooky music over the opening titles, of course.

Edit: We'll all need chocolate cake on standby, too!
