I am trying to remember 2 children's drama series that were on in the late 80's or early 90's on the ABC in Australia. The first was British but not sure about the second. It may have been Australian. The first was based on a book I remember reading in but I can remember the title of neither that or the series. Plot: A girl living with her aunt (why is it always an aunt?) finds another world in the park by travelling down the stream. There is possibly a maypole involved, linking the park and the other 'place' and I think I remember her hearing church bells beneath the grass of the park. Possibly. The second is even vaguer. The main images I remember from it are: Both of these were from The Children of Green Knowe and the Tom's Midnight Garden era. I'd really aprreciate any clues. Cheers
I really hope someone can help me out. This is killing me.
1. girls in white dresses playing a game where one is blind folded in a bell tower (in the past) and a broken bell in the tower (present) someone was possibly killed by the falling bell. One of the girls in white perhaps?
2. A girl in the present falls into a pond and she can't get back out as the surface has turned to glass and she imagines that an old lady (her aunt/gran) is trying to keep her down with a pole when she is actually helping her. She has been told not to play in the bell tower?
3. A ghostly message of "help me" is written in the dust of a greenhouse window.
