Can anyone help identify these four memories?
1) It was a children's TV series (although it may have been a one-off story) about a big house. There's a little girl who hides in a small cupboard. The cupboard is next to a bay window, and the window overlooks a maze in the grounds of the house. The girl is locked in the cupboard and can't get out - she starts crying, but her tears appear on the outside of the door, and we realise that she's a ghost. I think it was an adaptation of a book, possibly by someone called E. White or somesuch.
2) In the other one, a young hero in a toga has to go to the bottom of the sea and walk along a pathway made of three different colours of hemispherical stones. If he treads on any of the red ones, he'll die. The pathway leads to a stone house underwater. In the house there's a giant crab on a plinth. The hero smashes the crab with his club.
3) The third one is a puppet film, probably from Australia or New Zealand. There's a spherical robot (much like the one from Star Fleet) that travels to Earth and enters a department store. He thinks the speherical security camera is another robot and tries to speak to it. At the same time, there are other characters on a spaceship, still in deep space. They come to a set of traffic lights in space (on a meteor) and have to stop.
4) This one had Tom Baker in it. He's strapped to a large a metal web and is being electrocuted by a villain. But - I know what you're thinking - it's NOT Doctor Who. This was broadcast when Sylvester McCoy was playing the Doctor, and I was such a Who fan as a kid I would've known if they were broadcasting repeats. It was much nastier in tone than Doctor Who as well.
Thanks for your help!
