Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered

Around seventeen years ago I remember watching a Children’s BBC show called ‘Dark Season‘ which revolved around the investigation of a young schoolgirl’s into her school’s strange benefactor. Bleached blonde and mysterious, the man who I now know is called Mr Eldritch turns up one day and begins to distribute computers to all of the pupils, apparently out of the goodness of his heart.

It was a short two series show, each series comprising only three episodes yet I still remember it quite well. It seems my subconscious does as well, as I just discovered after all these years that the show was written by Russell T. Davies and starred a very young Kate Winslet.

It really is a small world.
