Simon Sheard

Based on the novel by E Nesbit.

Four children—Gerald, Jimmy, Cathy, and Mabel—explore a mysterious country estate during their holidays. They find a magic ring that grants wishes, leading to strange and often chaotic consequences

Gail Renard's story is set in both modern and Victorian times and remains a rarity indeed, this atmospheric six part ghost/supernatural/mystery serial was made for children, and those with a keen memory might remember it was originally shown as part of a short-lived ATV (Associated Television) anthology series of children's dramas subtitled 'Spooky'. When Central TV took over from ATV, it was rumored that this show along with episodes from the once extremely popular Tiswas, were wiped and lost forever. This show was originally broadcast in 1981.
