Moondial is a British television six-part serial made for children by the BBC and transmitted in 1988, with a repeat in 1990.

[1][2][3][4] The story deals with a young girl, Minty (Siri Neal), staying with her aunt after her mother is injured in a car accident.

Regarded as a nostalgic favourite by followers of 1980s BBC children's drama, Moondial employs extensive location filming (in the grounds of Belton House in Lincolnshire) and fantastical, dreamlike imagery.

Other cast members include Valerie Lush as Minty's Aunt Mary, Arthur Hewlett as the elderly, mysterious Mr. World, and Jacqueline Pearce in the dual role of the vicious Miss Vole (who seems to have lived in the 18th century) and the present-day ghost hunter Miss Raven.

The full episodic version was released in 2009 by Reader's Digest and later re-released on DVD by Second Sight in May 2015.
