Tom's Midnight Garden DVD

One summer, back in the 1950s, 14-year-old Tom goes away to the country to spend some time with his Uncle and Aunt. They live in an ordinary flat in what must once have been a fine old Edwardian family home. There seems to be nothing much to do - no other children his own age, not even a garden... or so it seems. Tom notices an old grandfather clock which stands in the shadows of the gloomy hallway. But one night, just before he goes to sleep, Tom is woken by the chimes of the clock which strike the thirteenth hour. Slowly he creeps downstairs, unlatches the backdoor and is greeted by a miracle. Instead of the disused backyard, a garden of intense beauty has appeared: beautifully-shaped hedges, soft lawns and deep flowerbeds. Tom seems to spend hours and hours in the garden, yet when he returns to the house, he finds that he's only been gone a few minutes. How could this be? And how is it that the children who live there - save for Hatty - cannot see him? A secret, haunted place, half-a-century back in time: based on Philippa Pearce's beloved children's novel, this is the world of 'Tom's Midnight Garden' - a tale of enchantment, shadows and lost memories...
