A Ghost of a Chance 1968

Three young children have been using an abandoned historical mansion as a clubhouse. One night they overhear, to their dismay, that the house is soon to be demolished. Later that same night the kids stumble upon a hidden room, where they meet two 300 year old ghosts who come to the rescue. The children and the ghosts devise some ghostly hi-jinks and children's pranks to prevent the destruction of the house.

I remembered this from my childhood but no one else did. I am so glad that i didn't imagine it. Would love to see the rest of it

The Friday Film Special! I remember these from CBBC in the mid 80's. They looked a bit dated even then, seem to recall "One Hour to Zero" about a nuclear power station about meltdown, very topical.

top notch :) Good to see Barker and Scott as the "baddies"

But as far as C.F.F movies go this is nothing compared to the Horror that is Mr Horatio Nibbles

The Children's Film Foundation movie I remember most of all is the one set in the haunted Cornish tin mines. Truly chilling...

There was also one in which Patrick Troughton played a scientist who had built a time machine... I wonder where the casting director got his idea from?

probably eating a curly wurly at the time his diction sounded dodgy at the best of times cheers

A selection of these films were repeated on friday afternoons around 1987 (and possibly as late as 1989). This was one of my favourites. I'd love to see the rest of this - it had a great cast.

You're right- how disappointing!
