The Magician’s House, based on William Corlett’s spellbinding novels, is set in the Welsh-English borders. The Sunday teatime, family drama tells the story of a 16th-century magician, traveling through time to enlist the help of three children who must save his beloved valley from certain doom. This International Emmy award-winning series follows the adventures of Mary Green and her cousins William and Alice Constant. Spending their Christmas holidays at Mary’s home, the ‘Golden House’, in the mountain forests of the Golden Valley, they’re drawn into an amazing world of fantasy and time travel. Encountering talking animals and Stephen Tyler, a magician from 400 years in the past, the children become embroiled in an age-old battle of good and evil, whilst the real world’s family dramas offer problems of their own. This charming and much-loved series earned the respect and admiration of a genuine across-the-ages family audience, with the Daily Mail hailing it as “…lushly filmed, impeccably acted, with great seriousness and concentration from everyone involved. Just as important as charm, it has emotional complexity. Issues of sadness, abandonment, friendship and fear are presented here, not in the guise of a thinly veiled moral tract, but in an imaginative context, full of energy and enchantment.”
