Today is Christmas Eve, and as a celebration of the season, I bring you the entire serial of The Box of Delights. All Six episodes in one post! This serial was originally shown on the BBC in 1984 and many consider it a Christmas classic!
The plot follows young Kay Harker as he is returning from boarding school, when he finds himself mixed up in a battle to possess a magical box. It allows the owner to shrink in size, to fly swiftly, to go into the past and to experience the magical wonders contained within the box.
The current owner of the box is an old Punch and Judy man called Cole Hawlings whom Kay meets at the railway station. They develop an instant rapport which leads Cole to confide that he is being chased by a man called Abner Brown and his gang. For safety, Cole entrusts the box to Kay. The schoolboy then goes on to have many adventures as he protects the box from those who wish to use it for bad deeds.
