Moondial (1988) part one (1 of 12)

I recommend anyone watching this to the watch spanish film, THE ORPHANAGE (Guillermo Del Toro..directed by someone else), it's very reminscent of MOONDIAL in parts.
MOONDIAL (1988) was a very haunting children's drama adaptation from HELEN CRESSWELL novel of the same name. A spooky, 'guilty pleasure'. The music alone gave some nightmares for weeks..!

Part one (1/12)

Please can someone wonderful upload any samples of:-
..BAD BOYES, ODYSSEUS THE GREATEST HERO OF THEM ALL (TONY ROBINSON), GRUEY (..or GRUEY TWOEY - sequel series), DODGEM (Sean MacGuire), WHY DON'T YOU circa 1988, PIGSTY (beeb, 91) TRICKY BUSINESS (1989?), HANGAR 17, PIE IN THE SKY (C BBC) or ALFONSO BONZO for me..? (my xmas list?!) If you can, there's more in the pipeline from me.. :p

Edit - (16-21-2008) Many are complaining about the beeb deleting the DVD release, so maybe the corportation will release a full episode based version (with extra interviews, previews?) if there is demand shown on youtube, etc)perhaps along with box of delights and tom's midnight garden?.(.instead of doing something like blocking my 9 minutes Blackadder pilot'clip' (which was out of sync an poor quality anyway?!) ..maybe THAT will be on a forthcoming single DVD. Which wd be pretty cool :)
