Description:
Part 1 of 6 of the children's TV drama from 1991. In Edwardian England in 1902 four children and their baby brother move down from London with their mother to live in the countryside in Kent. While there they expolre their surroundings, only to discover something very unusual in a gravel pit by the woods. It turns out to be a Psammead, a sand fairy who tells them he can grant wishes. And it is here when their adventures really begin...<br/><br/>Starring Simon Godwin, Nicole Mowat, Charlie Richards and Tamzen Audas as the child stars, with adult support by Laura Brattan, Mary Conlon, Ron Welling, Joyce Windsor, Tim Matthews, Julie Newell, Anthony Wilcox, Emma Louise Clamp and Francis Wright as the voice of the Psammead. This is from a recording from a repeat a few years ago that I did for my mum, as this was a favourite of hers. It was another in a long line of children's TV classics, first broadcast on January 9th 1991. It was followed by two sequels involving the Psammead: The Return of the Psammead (1993) and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1996). <br/>
