I remember this as a child but was never sure if it was just a dream. Only in recent years and research i found out that this was in fact a real TV series that i watched when i was about 5 years old. I remember the hole in the wall, the invisible girl with the hankie and the big dinosaur statue that the children went inside and it came to life. All very bizarre just like a dream but it was very magical for every child who watched this. We have the Railway children and the secret garden shown all the time written by the same author. It seems not many people have heard of The Enchanted castle. This needs to be shown again. I'd do anything to see this series again.

Like all the other reviews here I was never sure if is this was an actual TV childrens drama or just fragments of a dream I was remembering. The only thing about it that has always stuck in my mind is remembering the children becoming trapped inside a hollow stone statue of a dinosaur.

Thanks to the internet my wondering has finally come to an end. It's strange the things that haunt us from childhood. I'm now in my 40s.

I too remember watching the enchanted castle and have the life scared out of me by the wuglies,they were the fake audience created by the children for their play,i think.when the wuglies came to life and tried to chase the kids through a hole in the wall,i never slept peacefully again.the other ting i remember is the girls legs growing til they were twenty feet long or so.hope it comes out on DVD,along with the clifton house mystery and under the mountain.why cant the bbc digitise these things for online download,im sure there are generations of big kids who would pay a couple of quid to see something they thought was lost forever.please bbc,give us back our childhood.

I too remember this from childhood.

I too was never sure if it was real, or just the memories of a dream.....

I never realised it was actually a book by E Nesbitt :/ as I was very young at the time!!!!! I have searched for this for years and years because I couldn't remember the name, and just now it came to me at last :) I hope they release it on DVD one day, because it is so magical, mysterious, haunting, weird, exciting.....

In the meantime I will get the book out of the library. I hope it lives up to my memories :/ If you like The Chronicles of Narnia, Tom's Midnight Garden, or Moondial, then you might like this. From the same author as 'The Pheonix and the Carpet' and 'Five Children and It' but slightly more unsettling (and nothing like 'The Railway Children'!!!).
