- It was a happy day indeed when I found this little gem!
Children of the Stones is a classic example of edgy and thought-provoking drama aimed at young people but intelligent enough to appeal to everyone. Its compelling plot and eerie atmosphere places COTS firmly up there with the likes of the marvellous Owl Service and Noah's Castle. Furthermore, set against the hugely evocative backdrop of the Avebury stone circle (and a few shots around West Kennet long barrow and Silbury hill) and with such accomplished actors as Gareth Thomas and the masterful Iain ...

If you're a fan of Sci-fi/fantasy series, then this is a must. Made for Children's TV but the quality far surpasses the genre. The story is top notch and the whole feel of the piece is magical. A truly haunting story and some fantastic plot developments make this the best British Sci-fi series ever produced. Every episode is great, but the final episode provides an absolutely corking climax - both shocking and thrilling. On watching this scene my jaw hit the floor - I was expecting it to be a disappointing ... Read More

- A charming piece of television
I had never seen this series but took a chance on it based on others reviews; I was pleasantly suprised with the result. Granted it has dated and some of the production is on the cheap side (when the villian's seat swivels you can see his knees moving) but this is part of the charm. The score is brilliant and complements the claustrophobic atmosphere, and unlike childrens series today, it is witty and does not condescend but rather introduces some novel and thoughtful ideas (e.g. at what point do you become ...

Rating: - Nostalgia Treat
Difficult for me to write an objective review of this one - it brings back memories of a summer holiday in Wiltshire during the 1976 heatwave, and then watching the scariest thing I'd seen on TV the next year. Much more memorably frightening than Dr Who.
Viewing it now, the music is still distinctly creepy and the general plot of mystery and loss of more & more villagers to the "happy-dayers" makes for a very good drama.
Some nice interviews for the DVD extras as well.

- Oh dear........
I can appreciate how this DVD may work for those who watched the TV series when it first came out as nostalgia does tend to provide rose tinted spectacles. However, coming into this "cold", I found it to be pretty much a waste of time. The acting is pretty wooden & the plot takes an age to reach its inevitable & obvious conclusion.
If you're looking for this a better example of 1970's tv series fiction, try Survivors - much better & alot more compelling.
