Roshanarose - does that mean it will be shown on BBC here? I will rush to the Radio Times and check. Missed it the first time but Madeleine said it was good.
We just bought the double sized Radio Times for Christmas and New Year - M has been poring over the finer details and told me that The Railway Children is on - I haven't seen that film in years. I love EE Nesbit and think her children's books are even better when you read them as an adult - the humour in The Treasure Seekers would have been wasted on me as a child, though I would have enjoyed the plot.
Does anyone remember the TV version of Nina Bawden's "Carrie's War" - it was on when I was a child, we used to get a good drama series almost every weekday after Blue Peter, and I particularly remember this one. If my children saw it now I'm sure they would find it very tame - there were of course no computer graphics then, and most of the action was filmed in the studio, but I remember so well the Welsh farmlands, and the wonderful Hepsibah, who i think was played by the inestimable Dorothy Tutin. Other drama series we had were White Horses (of the Carmargue) and Belle & Sebastian (not the group, but a story about a Pyrenean Mountain Dog and her young owner.
I can hardly believe how much time has passed since then - but there are still some good chidlren's series - we liked the ones about Pompeii and Ancient Rome, whose titles now escape me.
