Memorable

I was seven years old when I watched this .... I am 71 now ... and I can visualise scenes as if I watched it yesterday. ......I can remember Hilary as the housekeeper.... her face and characterisation is imprinted on my mind. I can picture Martha teaching Mary to use the shipping rope..... who knew that was Prunella Scales ??

No version o& The Secret Garden that I have ever seen holds a candle to this production.

It was in black and white , of course, but that only added to the atmosphere. Somehow it seemed so REAL.

To this day I cannot resist looking through curtains of Ivy hoping to find a door and robins are my favourite bird.

Distant Memories

I remember this serial from all those years ago and I remember thinking how spooky it was. I even had a nightmare about Hillary Mason who played the part of Mrs Medlock. Of course, it's not spooky at all, but I think it was the sound of the crippled boy crying in the night that spooked me (I was only seven).
