Hi, Im wondering if you could tell me name of a horror drama that was on tv in either the 60's or 70's. It was about a boy living in a house on the moors or some remote place. He was alone
in his bedroom and did drawings that came to life. i remember they were mostly huge rocks like standing stones and they seemed to move closer to the house each night. when he tried
scribbling over the drawings in his book he ended up with bars on his bedroom window. A fascinating and scary drama and im sure i read it as a book too. Hoping you can help. from Sue Cannon |

I am trying to find a series about adventure, maybe similar to Indiana Jones, but I think it started out on a plane that lands on water. I think the plane was a big part of the show. I
can't remember who was in it. I think it was in the late 70's early 80's. Can you help? Dan E |

There were 22 Episodes and i would love to find out if they are available as i would like to buy them. It was an American series starring the late Jon Erik Hexum and was such a great series.

Hello. I am looking for the name of a itv/channel schools program dating from the mid 80's. In the opening sequence small children would walk down a busy street and stick star shaped
stickers on various things like telephone or even post boxes. On the stickers was the name of the program. Also a feature on this tv program was Dr. Smartie Pants played by children's author Micheal Rosen. He would claim to know everything like how to drink a glass of milk. But he always mess it up... Very funny. Thanx Rob-Robin |

| I know it might sound daft, but a piece of 2/3 year old tv advert music is driving us mad not knowing it's title or availability, and to make it worse, we can't remember who it was for. The music has been used for other TV bits and pieces, so must be available ??? The only info we can give you in the hope it might jog the old memory is the following: It appeared to be made in a sunny city, with busy street scene and large office blocks etc, and maybe in Spain, we would imagine. There is a police-woman standing on box, directing busy traffic, and the back ground music is a type of lovely backing group, with a prominent female singer. The few words song are "Who Are You " then something like DADA DADA DOO "Who Are You " etc etc. The police- woman's uniform is not a British type, so as said, maybe Spanish. To finish, other searches came up with the Who's " Who Are You ", but is nothing to do with this search. We know it's not alot to go on, but if you can help in the song title/artist, and/or advert name, we would be very grateful. | |

Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can help me find episodes of "Flockton Flyer", of which there were two series of 6 episodes made by Southern TV and first transmitted in 1977 and 1978. I am particularly interested in episodes 2, 3 and 4 of the second series; I appear as an extra - definitely in episode 2 and again either in 3 or 4. The programmes were aired by The Children's Channel on satellite in the early 1990's. There appears to be no commercial release of a VHS or DVD so far. I was Operating Superintendent of the West Somerset Railway back during the period when the Southern TV crew were on the line, which was the main location for filming. Thanks in advance Nick |

Hi, please can you help??? I have strong memories of a TV programme I watched in the seventies that no-one else seems to remember!! I think a family moved/lived in a big house and was give a music box/or drum when played or opened would play African drums and they would be transported back in time to when another family lived there with servants 100 years or more in the past, the servants were African. Did this programme exist or is it just my overactive imagination. Hope you can help. Cheers, Toni |

Response: This was called ‘Georgian House’ I think the programme was called Georgian House, which was a museum. cant find anything on it myself either but at least you know your not going mad! if i remember rightly the camera pans in on a carved African model and everything in the house goes back in time. |

Any episode will do from this series as me and a friend cannot for the life of us remember the name of the programme, but are totally convinced we did not make it up :)
What we can remember of it it that was set under a bed and included characters such as a hot water bottle, who, I might add, walked in a very creepy manner! and also who I remember
to be a girl, an elephant, a talking accordian and my friend also remembers a toy truck.
Our guess to the years that it was broadcast but have been around 93-94, but we cannot be totally sure.
If you could get back to us with any information, and (possibly) an episode we would greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks!!!

I am trying to remeber the name of a late 60's/early 70's children's tv drama, set in post apocaliptic Britain under martial law. The opening and closing titles
were of scenes of gun carrying troops running towards the sun, in slow motion (I think). I recall that it had a very edgy theme tune that set the tone for the series.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm wondering if you can help me find the name of a children's drama shown in the early 90's. I remember there were a couple of children who kicked a football into a neglected church and broke a window. They ventured inside to retrieve it, and whenever they touched a pillar or wall, there would be a simultaneous shot of their finger-marks appearing in a rock in a field in another world. I also remember a black knight who appeared in the 'other' world. I know it's not much to go on but it's all I can remember. This has been bugging me for ages! Thanks! Ana |

Hi there,
I wonder if you can help me.
I remember watching a programme when I was little, it was either in the late 70's or early 80's and all I can recall is there were some well to do children in a house and the eldest girl is
given a little music box but every time she opens it and the tune starts to play a soldier from a picture on the wall comes to life and strange things start happening.
I remember in one scene the kids are screaming because blood is dripping down from the ceiling! I remember that at the end something good happens (I cant remember what) I think it was to do
with the soldier in the picture as he starts to fade away out of the painting.
It really terrified me at the time and I would love to know if anyone remembers it and if so, what it was called.
Many thanks for your help

Dear sir/madam
I'm trying to find a TV show shown in the late 1990's set and made in England its basically about a group of post nuclear survivors searching for the truth. All i can remember is that at the beginning its present day. I remember a character is on the tube and its frozen in time. It was on ITV during the week night. It was a mini series. Any ideas what it is and where i can buy it would be helpful Many thanks Donna Barlow
I am trying to find out the name of a series i saw possibly mid 90s, not overly sure.
It started of with the main characters all getting on a train, as well as a scientist. As they are travelling along they go into a tunnel, whilst they are in there a meteor hits earth
killing most of the earths population. The people in the train are frozen by whatever the scientist was carrying with him for twenty or so years. When they finally awaken they find the world
repairing itself, cities overgrown with plant life and wild animals roaming around.
So do you have any clue what this programme was called or where i might get it?

Hi I am looking for info on a TV series in 1976-77 with a theme tune the lost island . It was about a group of kids travelling o a sailing ship and they found a lost island after they had
been caught in a storm at sea .I think there were only a few episodes.

The Lost Islands was made in Australia, and shown in Britain on ITV in 1976/7. Two series were made, 13 episodes in each. Shown only once here, it was a major hit on French television where it was often repeated. The entire series was released on DVD, Region 2, in France 2 years ago. Amazon.fr All episodes are available with either original English soundtrack or option French dub. I bought it 2 years ago and my 10 year old daughter loves it – so much better than the drivel that makes up childrens ITV programming today. |

Hello, I am looking for an old twilight zone episode (or one of those other shows) about not being able to find items that you had a minute ago. The story shows a group of men (dressed in blue?) that build each new “minute”. Sometimes they forget to put an item in the next minute and therefore you can’t find it. When the “men” find the item and replace it in the next minute, you find your item. I have to find a copy of this. Thanks. Laura Kies Hi,

Response I know exactly what you're talking about, but I too can't remember what it was called. This guy suddenly wakes up one morning and finds a bunch of guys all over his house dressed in blue, carrying blue tools and moving things. He finds out that he has stumbled into an alternate universe where all this work goes into making every second of our lives. He befriends one of the blue people, who tell him that sometimes the blue people make a mistake, and that is why we sometimes can't find that set of keys that we're sure we left on the kitchen counter! Eventually he makes his way back to his regular universe, and I seem to remember him being on the street but he notices a little blue hammer left on the sidewalk. I think this was part of the same series where another episode that was absolutely stunning, involved a hapless guy where the english language around him is slowly changing into a language that uses english words but substituting totally nonsensical words for what used to be the right word. For example when he has become totally lost and can't understand his wife or kids anymore, one of his kids gets hurt and he has to go to the hospital, and instead of the word Hospital on the building, it says something like "Elephant". Bewildered, he goes home and picks up his kid's grade one reader and begins to learn the language all over again. It's a stunning show. Anyone who knows the series please let us know! 19-Jan-2007
This was an episode of the newer Twilight Zones made in the 1980's. All the series are available on DVD in box sets.

Stigma |
Hi
I've been trying to find out more about a television play, a single episode, which I believe must have been aired in the early to mid seventies. My memory of it
has been triggered by the wonderful MR James ghost stories being broadcast again this week.
The one I would like to know about was a contemporary ghost story and involved a young couple digging something up in their garden which was linked to
witchcraft. A scene that I remember most vividly was that the wife (I think this was the case rather, than the husband) developed a wound in her side that appeared spontaneously and would
not stop bleeding. In addition, there was a chilling scene where the husband enters the kitchen and as the neon light flickers on, a knife comes to rest on a chopping board - something has
been inexplicably using it. There was also an instance of groundbreaking "daylight horror" where the husband sees terrifying wooden effigies appear in the garden, and I think also wakes to
see one hovering above him in the bed. My recollection is that the wife bleeds to death in the end, the inference being that the witch killed in the garden also died in the same way.
I would be very grateful if anyone out there can recall any details about this play.
Kind regards
