Children of the Stones (1977) 2 x DVD The Complete Series

The 1977 ITV series Children of the Stones is a brilliant mixture of elements that, sadly, would never find its way onto mainstream television today. It's intelligent, fantastical, scientific, sinister and eminently engrossing. Even though it was initially intended for kids, there's a lot for adults to enjoy as well. In fact, if you're a fan of Dr. Who, and who isn't, you may appreciate the similarities the 1978 "The Stones of Blood" episode has with Children of the Stones.

Especially for a show aimed at kids, there's an intriguing mix of real science and mystical belief as astrophysicist Adam Brake (Gareth Thomas) comes to the quaint village of Milbury with his gifted son, Matthew (Peter Demin) in order to study the ring of megalithic stones that frames the countryside. Before they can even settle in, it becomes clear that things are not what they seem...
