Also, something from the 1970s with a talking chair! Name escapes me.
Good call about 'The Boy From Space.' Had to cover my eyes when 'watching' it in the Television Room in reception class. The teachers had to stop showing it because it frightened too many children.
Anyone remember 'Tottie, the story of a Doll's House'?
Very, very spooky. Mid 1980s children's TV stop animation with a live murder caused by the evil beautiful doll Marchpane. Made by the same people who made Bagpuss but way darker. Gives me the creeps thinking of it. Very psychological.
