'Children of the Stones' is a glorious piece of drama that still stands with the best British supernatural or science fiction drama. From the off it chooses not to patronise it's audience (a rarity in TV made for children) and almost seemed to go out of it's way to be as creepy and as strange as possible - take the theme tune as evidence of this...
British comedian Stewart Lee is a fan of the series (and others of it's kind) and has produced a couple of things about it which I'm going to include here.
The first is a short piece from Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe in 2007 talking about the different ways children are represented in TV shows then and now.
The second is a fabulous 30 minute documentary for BBC Radio 4 which features contributions from cast, crew and fans.
