Hi all. The BBC definately did Five Children and It. That was my 
first introduction to it when I was younger. Everyone in my family 
sat down to watch it together. I remember it well.

Also a new film version has just been made. I doubt it's available 
on video/dvd yet. It's been on at the local cinema here, but I 
haven't had chance to go see it. I admit though, I mainly wanted to 
see it because most of it, if not all, was filmed on the Isle Of Man 
(which is home for me) and I wanted to see how many of my friends 
are in it! (Loads of them get work as extras). Scenery would be 
worth seeing, but then I am bias! :)
