Does anyone know or can direct me to a list of short childrens series that have been on over xmas in the UK? I remember one from about 20 years ago of a boy in a old cottage in the moors who was a bit neglected and finds a magic box or something and has adventures with it or something. I remember it being very snowy and eerie. Its a bit vague im sorry, thats why im looking for a list of programs that may jog my memory. Thanks

wow im amazed. I dont think it was box of delights as it doesnt seem to be set in a bleak snowy yorkshire-type moor cottage. But ive just looked up box of delights on youtube and i remember that too! It bought back memories for sure! Maybe the one im thinking of is getting confused and mixed with this.

Oh my god. I very vaguely remember that programme. I can remember it was on after my swimming lessons when i got home, and i used to love it.
But i can't remember much more about it at all - sorry

I have a very vague memory of a children's BBC Xmas show as well, I was only about 4 at the time but I've done a bit of research and The Box of Delights (now available on DVD) seems to be the most likely candidate and it certainly seems to match your description.

The only one I can remember was 'The Amazing Mr Blundell,' I know it's not the one your talking about, but it's one my favourite children's Christmas films of all time, and my kids love it as well.
