Moondial was the Childrens BBC at its very best. Screened on a Wednesday at 5pm (after John Cravens Newsround) this was a show that my mum made me watch as she loved it so much as well. The story follows Minty, who has recently lost her father and goes to visit Aunt Mary who lives in a big old country house. In the large garden of the house is a sundial type piece of stone that is actually a moondial. When Minty touches the moondial she becomes dizzy as if everything is spinning so she lets go of it and runs back towards the house although it's not quite the same as it was when she left. The first clue is that the people are dressed in old clothes. The second is that only a small boy can see her!
What follows is a really interesting drama that was very cleverly thought out, as a child I loved the mystery of the whole thing and would certainly watch this again. The fact that it also had my mum glued to the TV would indicate that it was suitable for adults as well!

This is the fairly heavily edited DVD rip of the original six half-hour programmes although I doubt anything significant has been lost.

The storyline reminds me a little of Time At The Top
