If I remember, the music had an air of Harry Potter about it?Im sure if you are in your mid to late 40's you will remember 'A Box of Delights'.It was shown in the run up to Christmas in 1984,and i found it utterly engrossing and brilliant.I use to run all the way home form school to ensure i didnt miss it!
Anyway......does anyone know where i can now watch this series? is it tooked away on one of the millions of platforms we are now bamboozled with?
Cheers
Add Charade to that list…A few random films I associate with watching at Chrimbo in the past:
Heroes of Telemark (on this week)
Spartacus/ Ben Hur
The Sherlock Holmes films of Basil Rathbone
The Poseidon Adventure
The Great Escape
The box of delights starring Patrick Troughton and Robert Stephens is on eBay for £4 dvd. Great memories as a kid and a decent Christmas serial.
Ditto pal - used to love that - I’m guessing it wouldn’t be quite the same watching it back now. A bit like when they first started repeating Starsky & Hutch …. was really excited but then fairly quickly realised it wasn’t quite as good as I remember it being!The box of delights starring Patrick Troughton and Robert Stephens is on eBay for £4 dvd. Great memories as a kid and a decent Christmas serial.
