Hey thank you so so much for uploading this series, it was a massive part of my childhood and I have just watched it all with my son who loved it too!!! However.... Maybe I am mixing up my broom cupboard dramas, but i was SURE there was a scene in this one where Minty asked Tom to meet her at a certain time and he said that he couldn't because he had no way of telling the time... So she gave him her watch. I remember him being so in awe of a tiny clock!! Was this not Moondial?

@Xynanda Could just be Tom's Midnight Garden.. that had a boy who went back in time every night, when the clock struck 13, and knew an older girl called Hattie.

Even though I wasn't a kid when this was on TV in 1988 - in fact I was 22 and pregant with my daughter! I remember watching it from a video tape with a friend - so yes even adults loved this series! It still is exellent - always love Jaqueline Pearce too (who's now retired from acting and is a conservationist -working in Africa caring for orphaned monkeys aparently) and yes I'm old enough to remember her in Blake's 7 too!

As Moondial makes for scary viewing, , your comment reminds me of my mum who was a bit spooked after seeing 'Rosemary's Baby' on tv in 1977 (just before my older sister was born). I don't think it's strange for an adult to watch this series as it's quite a sophisticated adaptation. lol I know some ppl at colelge who watched things like Aquila on Cbbc between bouts revision!

I remember this when I was a kid. They just don't make kid's programmes like this anymore, it's all sex-fuelled crap like "Skins". When aer kids nowadays ALLOWED to be kids, withouot having sex rammed down their throats from so early?? Thanks for sharing, enjoyed the memories!

My God. I'd completely forgotten about this. What a wonderfully atmospheric drama Moondial was. Many thanks for uploading wayzotoichi.

I was 35 when this came on, and too old for childrens tv, but probably missed some good stuff, but did see box of delights at the time in the 80s.
