This time of year, my favourite thing to re-watch is the legendary BBC anthology series โA Ghost Story for Christmasโ. Originally broadcast between 1971 and 1978, each episode is a television adaptation of a classic ghost story, very much in the old tradition of wintertime storytelling focused on the supernatural and the otherworldly.ย
In this post Iโm presenting my favourite adaptation of Enid Blytonโs Famous Five books - the 1978 series produced by Southern Television.
Produced as a childrenโs TV series back in the 1970s, Children of the Stones has stood the test of time as one of the spookiest television programmes ever made!ย
This post is written primarily for those not entirely familiar with Emily Dickinson, offering a short (and partially retro) selection of must-see documentaries and feature films on this fascinating woman. Hopefully it will encourage you to explore the world of her poetry, or help you understand it better.
