This weeks Saturday Matinee is a favourite of mine, Moondial!
The story deals with a young girl, Minty, staying with her aunt after her mother is injured in a car accident. Minty spends much of her time wandering around the grounds of a nearby mansion, and is drawn to a moondial that enables her to travel back in time, where she becomes involved with two children, Tom, who lives in the Victorian era, and Sarah, who seems to live in "the previous century" to that, and must save them from their own unhappy lives.
A lot of the exterior scenes of the mansion and it's grounds were filmed at Belton House, a country house situated a couple pf miles outside of my home town of Grantham, this is probably why I have such a fondness for this serial.
