Storyline

A mysterious, very old solicitor Mr. Blunden visits Mrs. Allen and her young children in her squalid, tiny Camden Town flat and makes her an offer she cannot refuse. The family become the housekeepers to a derelict country mansion in the charge of the solicitors. One day the children meet the spirits of two other children who died in the mansion nearly a hundred years previously. The children prepare a magic potion that allows them to travel backwards in time to the era of the ghost children. Will the children be able to help their new friends and what will happen to them if they do?? Written by Mark Smith <msmith@osi.co.uk>

Crazy Credits

The closing credits feature many of the characters waving goodbye to the
audience, with an associated caption showing each actor's name. However the
character names are never shown in the opening or closing credits. Only the
very minor characters are given a conventional "actor / character" credit. See more »
