Traken

My inflight entertainment this evening was the 94-minute VHS edition of this utterly brilliant 1978 BBC children's series, starring 16-year-old Sarah Sutton, several years before she became Nyssa of Traken, as the blind Diana who finds herself at the focus of ancient mysteries around the White Horse of Uffington in around 1902.
