  • 1970s children's mystery/fantasy tv show

    Hi everyone,

    Hoping someone here can help - this is a name of a tv show I have been trying to remember for a long time. (I apologise if this has already been discussed on here, I did a search through the TV forum, could not find it though). I remember really liking this show, I just wish I could recall the name!

    Back in the late 70s, early 80s in Australia there was a tv show on after school, on our ABC (channel 2), possibly before Dr Who.

    I think they were self-contained episodes. I am sure it was a UK production - possibly BBC. They were all mystery/fantasy stories - a little bit sci-fi-ish, but not too scary for kids.

    The one episode I remember clearly had 2 children arrive in an abandoned railway station. Time kind of melted and they were back in time, just prior to a train crash. The phone rings and a its someone, I think a station master from further up the line, asking them to stop the train. They can't, the train has left...they melt back into the present time, and the train crash is a big disaster of many years earlier.

    Any ideas would be most appreciated.

    I'm thinking of Timeslip, but can't find any positive info yet to support that theory

      Maybe a series called Shadows??
      Episode could be "The Waiting Room"?

        Hey Daz, you are totally a legend!

        I think that is probably it. There does not seem to be a lot of info on the web...least Google is not showing much....was it popular in the UK?

        We must have seen it a few years later here, after it was first broadcast. I am sure I would have watched it around 1980 (I was 9 then).

        I also found a question about 'Come Back Lucy' on here last night. For a long time I thought this was the same series, turns out I was remembering both series.

        Thanks again,

          Designgirl, are you describing 'The Afternoon Show' with (Paul?) Valentine? I have another thread asking about a series I'm sure was on the Afternoon Show as well.
