Tom's Midnight Garden

[remember]

This was a BBC kids' drama circa 1976 (based on Philippa Pearce's 1958 novel) about a young lad, Tom Lang (Jeremy Rampling) who was staying in his uncle Alan and aunt Gwen's old house for the summer because his brother Peter contracts measles. Whenever he heard the clock in the house strike 13 he would go outside, in his pyjamas, and find himself transported back to the Victorian era. He meets a girl called Hatty here and they have adventures. But each night he visits her, she is of a different age, and not in chronological sequence.It was really just a supernatural reworking of The Secret Garden or even The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, with similar characters.

Re: Tom's Midnight Garden

I loved this series, but there have been a number of adaptations. The site you link to talks about the seventies version but the pic is, I think, from the eighties version. It was the early 70s one that I first saw when our class all watched it during school.

I watched the 1976 version and absolutely loved it.
