The Phoenix & The Carpet (1997) [VHSRip (XviD)]

Here we go with my second ever torrent, and another kid's drama series which appears to have been sought after. The 1970's version is already available here, but not the recent-ish 1997 adaptation which has been requested several times.

This is an absolutely brilliant series, and is based on the book by E. Nesbit, and is also a follow-up to Five Children & It (which forms part of a trilogy but the third book has never been televised to date - The Story Of The Amulet).

All Six episodes in the series are here from a VHS recording I made from CBBC channel repeats in either December 2004 or 2005 I can't remember which, but that year they showed no end of children's serials.

Thanks to TV.com for the descriptions.

First aired between November 16th 1997 - December 21st 1997.
