Moondial

Moondial was a childrens program back in the 80s.
It was a classic, dark, scary, ghostly series about a young girl called Minty who, when touching the moondial, went back in time to darker times. She met two ghost children and had to save them. They were stuck in time...

This should be shown on TV again !

I was 12 when this was aired, and few things stick in my mind from then, apart from how bloody scarey this show was. A brilliant piece of drama

@georgeowain cheers but it def wasn't children of green knowe- the one i'm thinking of predates that by 6 or 7 years at least. it was early 80s possibly even late 70s

[georgeowain]

@ekrasin I think the show you are thinking of is Green Knowe, but it weren't a Greek Statue it was one of Saint Christpher.

I wish they would make these kind of programs nowadays

@ekrasin they have got children with masks and cloaks on who walk around the grounds taunting the girl " Sarah " with the chant "devils child" but no statues of the greeks coming to life ...but i wouldn't know what one that was

[ekrasin]

@steve8765 was this the series where the statues of the greeks used to come to life and walk around the grounds at night?

if it isn't, does anyone know which one that was?

@stigmundfreud ..the main big house is Belton House near Grantham in lincolnshire..owned by the national trust..check there web site to see the house...the house where minty was staying is just out side the main entrance to Belton house..
