scripsiOh my all-knowing friends, do you know a comm where one can ask about something you saw on TV ages ago? I have a few things that nag at me from time to time. I did manage to find one, Nobody’s House, but the rest eludes me.
They are not newer than 1978. I know that because I saw all of these on our old black-and-white TV, which broke down for good in -78. I think they were all in English. At least there were subtitles.
I have always thought of this one as a Robin Hood version, but I’ve no idea if it really was. It had a similar set-up anyway, with outlaws living in the woods, only they were children, or teenagers. I only remember scenes like “Robin” having to climb a tree in order to be able to get up on his horse. “Marion” looking at her reflection in water and seeing the bad guy looming behind her and being captured and thrown on a horse. That they became friends with an adult minstrel(?) and that they were at some point in a dungeon. And that the king returned at the end and probably was “Marion’s” father..
I remember even less of these: A group of children time travel back in time to a place where everyone is terrified of a dragon. It turns out the dragon is some kind of robot.
An old house where a panel in a window or a door show things that happened in the past.
Seems familiar to anyone?
