I feel so sorry for children nowadays. We only had a few channels no internet or social medias but instead we had quality. TV shows that catered for all ages that never insulted the intelligence of the viewer. Excellent story telling. I loved this show and it's so good to be able to watch it again almost 40 years later. Sadly quantity has taken over from quality and it really is not a suitable replacement. I really forgot how captivating Patrick troughton was on screen. Abner brown was a seriously menacing villain. This and the children of greenknowe were two of my favourite Christmas shows made for children. I used to love the BBC Christmas panto that they used to do. Now the BBC has ruined itself with identity politics and other nonsense that they simply couldn't remake this.
