    help! what's it called??

    Can anyone help me find the name of a tv prog. in the late 70's. All I can remember was it being set in Georgian(?) times and was mainly about the servants with a black actor as a footman(?) but during the day they changed into waxworks and were part of a house museum? I think a young girl could see them come to life and interact with them. Somewhere deep in my memory I believe it might have been on at lunchtimes? Maybe that's why I cant remember much more than that. Please help. I've tried googling it but to no avail.

      Could be the Georgian house which would of been shown around the mid 70's.The house was a museum, the lead character travelled back in time to the Georgian period. One a young lady became a member of the rich family who owned the house the other a young lad ended up a servant below stairs. They befriended a colored servant/slave who turns out to be their only hope getting home. I can remember the African drum in the drama mostly.

          Wasn't his name 'Ngo'? Or am I in the wrong programme?

            Yes it was Ngo played by Brinsley Forde who I believe went on to sing in Aswad! Apparently you can get some of the remaining episodes on DVD although a lot were wiped! Thanks for solving a 30 odd year mystery for me.

              That would be Brinsley Forde of "Double Deckers" fame then?

              Sounds like a great programme.

                I can remember the drama as not very fast paced nor much action but it was very captivating and the characters were played superbly. Such a pity half the episodes no longer survive. Yes the colored servant was Ngo played by Brinsley Forde who if I remember rightly gave most of the story it's edge and grit. I have a feeling it was the time travelling element that got my interest all those years ago.
