Re: The Maypole and The Girl in the Pond
It sounds like the first one is "The secret world of Polly Flynt". Her dad gets trapped down a mine and she is sent to stay with her aunt. I remember the maypole, and the travelling down the stream to a village, which was in the past. Children from the village are going missing, and "the catcher" (a man in a dark cloak with a hood and a net in his hands) is being blamed. I think in the present time the same man is a gardener or something, which i remember being very menacing. But i have a vague memory that the catcher was a metaphor for the plague. I could've just made that up though. I also remember a boy (there's always a boy!)from the past who polly fell in love with, and leaves behind in the last ep. Phew, I was feeling the same as you, it was killing me trying to remember the name, but I googled some random words and memories that i had and eventually found the book title. I loved that show!! Hope that was helpful.
