Now I know it's late and my mind is probably wandering a bit but I was just thinking about how fantastic The Box Of Delights was when I was a kid...
I haven't seen it since I was at school in the 80's but for some reason I still remember how good it was...
Has anyone seen it a bit more recently who can tell me whether it has withstood the test of time? (it may have done as it was set in the 30's).
Nobody I talk to about it remembers it...a bit like when I mention that I was scared by a programme called The Clifton House Mystery...nobody believes me that there even was a show by that name either, even my folks who sat there and watched it with me reckon I am making things up!!!
Come to think of it I remember another kids show from the 80's that was a bit creepy too, it was about a bunch of kids in the 30's or 40's who were at a big stately home and the boys wore cricket jumpers...there was a kind of ornamental pond with statues around it and they came alive, that's all I can remember about that one, maybe someone will know what I'm on about???
