I think that Ross compares Terry's gadget-carrying character in The Mouse on the Moon with Carlton-Browne, so Mouse is probably the answer. E.

And currently viewed by a mystery guest ... I'm surprised no-one followed up intervision's request. Eighteen months later, can anyone help identify this programme?

If I remember correctly, the two children, boy and girl, had a normal visit to the seaside. In a different short (4 or 5 years ago, but not identified) a teenage lad visited an indoor swimming-pool: another example of well-observed ordinariness. Guy Gavriel Kay's highly-regarded fantasy trilogy THE FIONAVAR TAPASTRY deserves a screen adaptation in due course. THE SUMMER TREE (1984), the first novel, may also be the title of a short...

Thanks Maurice! Yeah I saw that Joanna Lumley had played her Mum. But that's the thing, this damn teacher came in and turned it off, so if Joanna had played her Mum, I didn't see her. I would have remembered if Joanna was in it, though. Just needed to see if I could jog anyone's memory with the story line, (what there is of it)! Many thanks for having a look for me though my friend. It is very much appreciated! :)

Brilliant! I think MEN OF STEEL is the film! Will have to hunt this lost movie down, since it looks pretty good. Cheers Stephen Laws The Midnight Man: The Official Website of the author Stephen Laws

No, not a news item- my memory is of seeing it twice, some time apart. The more I think about it, it would have been during the daytime, and I was only 8 or 9 years old, possibly younger ( or older!). A school programme? Maybe even an item within a school programme? The latter perhaps seems likely-how do you find out about those?

I recently brought a VHS tape with a few episodes so I will finally have a chance to see if it really is Lizzie Dripping. I still think it's probably not though.

Sorry, it's me being thick!

Yay - that's the one alright. I read the full synopsis & it brought it all back. It was such a good plot that I couldn't understand why no-one had done a re-make. Then I noticed a by-line saying that Kenneth Brannagh intends to do so along with Frankenstein. (Mar 09). Can't wait to see that! In the meantime I'll pop along to Amazon & get the b&w version & hope that I'm old enough now...
