Was scary as hell was it not?
Does anyone remember this amazingly weird children's drama, complete with devil worshippers, scarred kids and general spookiness?
Without wishing to sound like a seriously old fart, it makes me sad that Children's TV in 2007 would never show something as groundbreaking as this, instead opting for a series about a singing loo roll or a re-run of Kerching!.

I've bumped the Scary Kids' TV thread for you so that you can get nostalgic over other scary programmes.
Moondial was really scary but not (in my opinion) as scary as Century Falls which I still can't really believe was a kids TV programme. I probably still shit myself if I watched it now!

No, Moondial was definitely scary.
Remember that Victorian kid with the birthmark, and they told her it was because she was the devil's child? Proper creepy, that.
Although it was unintentionally hilarious when that lady who was supposedly an exorcist but was actually evil turned up in her big black exorcism outfit and looked like a crow. The scene itself is a bit vague but I vividly remember laughing so much I snotted out my orange squash.

We used to re-enact the opening credits of Moondial at school, by grabbing onto the fountain and spinning round it at full pelt.
It was scary stuff though. Wasn't the girl called Minty?

Yes! It was short for Araminta.
And the Victorian Cockerney chimney-sweep was called Tom. Can't recall the name of the birthmark girl though.

No you don't. It was rubbish. We also re-enacted Neighbours episodes at lunch sometimes. I was always the coma victim who lay on the wall and did fuck all. People used to poke me sometimes. My word - these childhood revelations really need to be kept underwraps.
