The Amazing Mr. Blunden

"Follow him into fun, fantasy & fright -- he's a time-traveling ghost who's often out of sight."

Mysterious old solicitor Mr. Blunden visits Mrs. Allen and her young children in their squalid, tiny Camden Town flat and makes her an offer she cannot refuse. The family become the housekeepers to a derelict country mansion in the charge of the solicitors. One day the children meet the spirits of two other children who died in the mansion nearly a hundred years prior. The children prepare a magic potion that allows them to travel backwards in time to the era of the ghost children. Will the children be able to help their new friends and what will happen to them if they do?

    Laurence Naismith is a solicitor who visits a family with an offer for them to help manage a ramshackle country house. Once they arrive, the children start to see the ghostly apparitions of two other children and soon we discover that they were the children of the house before a fire reduced it to it's present state. Aided by a magic potion - together, the four of them piece together what actually happened on that fateful night, and to try and rewrite history. This is a superb, gentle, family drama; the 4 children deliver strong and engaging performances and there are some lovely touches from Graham Crowden as "Mr. Clutterbuck" and Diana Dors as the evil "Mrs. Wickens". Written and directed by Lionel Jeffries, this is the kind of family drama we just don't make nowadays.
