The author was a guy called Alan Garner, who wrote some pretty good stuff. One of his books, Red Shift, was turned into a BBC film in the late 70s/early 80s.

I can't recall seeing The Owl Service, but sure I must have done. Do recall Timeslip and Ace Of Wands from about the same time.

Nope, have no memory of that whatsoever.

Thanks, though, LS.

This is pretty good filmed in colour but originally shown in B&W but repeated years later in colour which is when I saw it -worth a view
