Does anyone remember

[RonitZilkha]

This was on sometime in the 1980s and was a favourite programme of mine.
It was set in New Zealand during Victorian/Edwardian era and was on Childrens BBC.
No-one else i know can remember it.
Am i going mad and making up TV programmes?

Programme was called "Children of Fire mountain"

Rings a bell, that name. Sounds like the sort of book Maurice Gee might have written.

are you the designer or is it your nickname Ronit?

It exists .

No unfortunately not designer, just nickname.
Wish I could afford more of her clothes though

any more clues?
I know Black Beauty and the Railway children were filmed there
I lived in NZ then can barely recall the 80's though....

THEME TUNE... A jaunty, catchy piece with swaggering brass, which needless to say no-one has on tape. You'll be hearing a lot more of this sort of thing.
PRINCIPAL CAST... Settlers in turn-of-the-century New Zealand and the natives that they have to learn to live in harmony with. Oh, and their children.
'VILLAINOUS' FIGURE... Someone who sold outlawed 'grog' to the Maoris, and in a more abstract sense a volcano that had recently erupted.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN... New Zealand, obviously.
DUBBED?... No.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES... Well, there weren't many children's shows, imported or otherwise, that featured alcohol and volatile geographical features.
YOU'RE THINKING OF... CHILDREN OF FIRE MOUNTAIN - shown endlessly by the BBC in the early 1980s, then given another airing by Channel 4 at the close of the decade. Which is why it's now impossible to get hold of, obviously.

The themetune was great
Similar i thought to "Heidi"
uplifting etc etc

I remember watching it but can't remember much about it...
