[Do we know of any other good spooky children's stories, or would we like to try something different? Three shows spring to mind. Perhaps not spooky enough? [*] The Box of Delights - which may be too Christmassy for the time of year? [*] A Traveller in Time - which, like Green Knowe, has a 1970s TV version and a more modern, set during WWII, version (or am I thinking of Carrie's War?) [*] The Secret Garden - may be too familiar? Other suggestions: [*] Carrie's War [*] The Children of the Stones - with that fellow from that other SF show in it. Can't think what it was called. [*] Five Children & It [*] King of the Castle - a bit low rent... [*] Moondial Outside the children's fantasy sphere, perhaps: [*] An Englishman's Castle - a three-part series starring Kenneth More as a TV producer living in an alternative 1970s Britain where Germany won WWII. A young Nigel Havers plays one of his sons. [*] Diana - an adaption of the R F Delderfield novel, starring Kevin McNally and Jenny Seagrove, with Patsy Kensit as the young Diana. [*] Noah's Castle - six-part series about a family living in a hyperinflationary Britain. |

Dear Joe - thanks for your ideas. Quote The Children of the Stones - with that fellow from that other SF show in it. Can't think what it was called. Quote Moondial Quote A Traveller in Time Quote The Box of Delights - which may be too Christmassy for the time of year? Don't you like ANY of the DUST films, then?? Not even the Aussie ones like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYWKQ...YWKQIWfmFw ? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

It looks okay but too much bad language for me. |

It looks okay but too much bad language for me. Think you must have hit Dust on a bad day. I haven't come across a lot of bad language, but then I don't watch the nasty ones! (I mean - what's the point?) Plenty other stuff choose from, though. Stick to the 'family friendly' and comedy! "You're not sulking, I hope?"
