old movie/show in england?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew what I was talking about. I remember watching this thing...it could of been a movie or a show, but I think it was a movie. All I remember was a little hairy gremlin thingy coming out of a bunch of gravel, and a bunch of children, and a railway. I don't remember much else about it, but I think the movie was pretty old seing as I saw it when I was pretty young. (I'm 18 now, so its at least 10 years old.)

Anyone have any clue what the movie is called?

Answer 1

You're thinking of one of the adaptations of E. Nesbit's classic children's fantasy, "The Five Children and It", very likely a made-for-tv small mini-series?
The five children discover the Sammead, a wish-granting sand fairy in a sand/gravel pit. Unfortunately, the Sammead's wish-granting seems to cause more problems than you might expect!
You may also be remembering another of E.Nesbit's stories, made into a movie twice now, called "The Railway Children"--though not involved with magical creatures, it's an enchanting story on its own, and a railroad does play a very important part in the story.
