To really miss those early Sunday evening children's BBC serials we used to watch.

[Retropear]

Such as The Phoenix and the Carpet etc.

We'd all watch them together with toast round the fire.

Wonder why they don't do them now.

I remember that and Peep behind the Curtain and Mill on the Floss- brilliant.Rounded off the weekend perfectly

oh toms secret garden (his name was tom right ? )

Lion witch and the wardrobe was another, no they dont show those anymore which is a shame maybe kids TV has moved on

Children of the new forest was my favourite

They used to show them running upto Christmas... I loved The box of delights.
There's no good book based series any more

We used to record them all. My parents still have most of them! I have the BBC Narnia on DVD

(I actually went up the aisle at my wedding to the theme tune from Narnia...)

You'd look forward to it,not the same as a DVD.

Maybe that is part of the reason Dr Who is so popular.It's on earlier and suits all ages.

They were wonderful. You are right - a real shame.

Toms midnight garden... Yes, they were lovely. But I think it's the fact that times have changed and tv on demand has completely altered how people view tv. Just out of my own group of friends I know several who never watch live tv any more. There is no longer that sense of having to sit down as family at a certain time. Of course there are lots of pluses to having more freedom of choice; but I agree that it does mean a loss in some ways

Carrie's War

Five Children and It

They do adult classic book series,why not kids?

I really miss them too they really helped with dulling that Sunday nig feeling because there was something to look forward too.

Black beauty

Night feeling.

The forest rangers.

I loved Box of Delights...and Moondial. It seemed so creepy at the time.

The Borrowers, Little Women and Lorna Doone (Ok last two done in the 70's so most wont remember them)

They were amazing, such a childhood staple.

I wish they still did them!!

How very 1970`s!!!!
It was the Muppet show too after bath & hair wash on a Sunday.

I remember the Phoenix and the carpet.

I was going to say "Black Beauty", I also loved series like "The Lone Ranger", "Dick Turpin", "Robin of Sherwood" etc, but have got no idea when they were on

Oh yes. We watched these every Sunday, whilst mum did the ironing, I sorted the socks and dad cooked a roast dinner.

Tried to recreate this with ds last week, but we watched lassie instead whilst he sorted socks. He was a bit but I enjoyed it!

The Forest Rangers was 60s ,so I expect I'm the only one who remembers it.

They were really good, especially remember Five Children and It and the Borrowers!

oh yes the borrowers did the not do a modern version of that the other year not sure if it was on a sunday night though

Oh the Birrowers were my favorite.

Oh yes the box of delights! Also remember an animal one with a voice over making the animal speak. Such a shame these aren't on any more.
