Just for the record, Sovay (and anyone else interested), I stuck that video of A Child's Voice on YouTube).
Thank you very much for putting it up! As you may be able to tell from this post, I enjoyed it greatly.
Alan Garner's To Kill a King.
I'll have to check that out. I didn't know Garner had written anything for television beyond the 1969 adaptation of The Owl Service.
Somewhere I'm convinced that I have a short BBC ghost story for children, based on a story about some kids who find a ruined village in a forest, a medieval village abandoned in a time of plague, now occupied only by ghosts.
That sounds a little like Lucy Boston's The Children of Green Knowe (1954), but there's no abandoned village there and the plague-ghosts are friendly children. Otherwise it reminds me of Nigel Kneale, but I don't think he ever wrote a ghost story as straightforward as that. Let me know if you find it, though!
