I may bebiased - but I loved some of the fantasy kids shows in the 1970s... so much more inspirign than modern day cartoons...
Does anyone remember....
Timeslip
Changes
I'm sure loads of you remember the Tomorrow People,
and I even managed to get a DVD of Children of the Stones (my kids loved it)
But... my favourite of all... was
ACE OF WANDS - anyone remember it, heard of it?
Happy reminiscing

Hello Barry
Timeslip was a classic ATV show, wish you could buy it on DVD
Crikey Ace Of Wands, a man of quality sadly no official release of this one either
You can buy Timeslip on DVD, not only has it been released in the Uk more than two years ago, it was also released in the US last year.
Right off to the shops tomorrow then
I know over at the Mausoleum Club site the lack of a DVD release of Ace of Wands has been debated widely.
There is a dodgy copy on a certain internet auction site,
Ace of Wands is a planned release from Network,but its been that way for a few years so whether it will ever arrive is unknown
Mike Holloway from the Tomorrow people was 'a bit of alright'
The main problem is that the last story "The Beautiful People" has a nasty interference pattern on the only source copy, near the end, & until they can somehow remove it electronically for a reasonable cost, it's unlikely to turn up....
I suspect that someone's copied the "bootleg" VHS tape, that turned up a couple of years ago, onto DVD, & is trying to sell it....
Yes that was Changes, I was only about 7 but still remember being terrified by it.
The basic premise as you say was that all the adults rebelled against technology.
There was a young girl who solved the mystery of the "changes" that it was caused by a mysterious Stone that had links with Merlin.

But there is a video roll on the opening titles of Peacock Pie:1.
IIRC Ace of Wands s1 and 2 exist in B&W telerecordings even though the original colour VT were wiped

coming home from school to watch the 12:10 kiddie programs .....

There was a cartoon in the Watch With Mother strand called Joe about a lad who's parents were separated. No-one else of my age I talk to remembers it.
I also really enjoyed Tom's Midnight Garden, God's Wonderful Railway and Kizzie.
Ah "The Dineage" indeed one who can be called a legend!
