Hey guys,
Our Facebook friend Heather needs some help trying to figure
out the names to a couple of Classic Nickelodeon Special Deliveries, here’s her
post on our wall. Any help you can give her would be terrific. I know I wanted
to say that they might be from The Third Eye, maybe Under the Mountain but I’m
not sure, what do yall think?
Heather commented on Nickelodeon’s Special Delivery's Wall
post.
"Both were most likely British in origin, although they
might have been Australian. The first was about a little boy who's parents ran
an inn in a small English village. He was telekinetic and would pop round to
the home an old man. The man was helping him to cultivate these powers by
playing chess where they moved the pieces with their minds. One day a famous
movie star comes to the inn for a vacation. She goes into her room and requests
solitude. The boy and his friend (sister, maybe) climb onto the roof to get a
glimpse of her though the window. Upon seeing into the room they discover that
she is really a mannequin! That is as far as my memory gets. Maybe this was a
two-part mini-series and I only ever saw part one, although I do recall seeing
this multiple times.
The second film I'm seeking was about a girl who was sent
from London to live on a country manor estate, possibly to escape the Blitz.
She was unhappy and surly toward the old man who was to care for her. The
estate had a large lake with an arched bridge across one end. The old man had
lost the woman he loved when she drowned in the lake. The film revolved around
the redemption and forgiveness of the characters as they traveled through time
by passing under the bridge in a boat. I have posted about these films in
several other forums but haven't had any luck. Can anyone help?
