If anyone is doing the annual "Box Of Delights" viewing (like me), don't forget you need to begin with Episode 1 tomorrow (Dec 19th).
Also, a tip: if you want midnight on Christmas Eve to line up precisely with midnight in the story, you need to press PLAY at exactly 23:34:24, or you'll be scrobbled!

Watching ep 2 of “The Box of Delights” (1984) in our latest rewatch. It’s taken me 41 years to wonder what ‘nighted is short for in the episode title “Where Shall the 'Nighted Showman Go?” Then to learn the meaning of benighted. Big bonus of this episode is loads of magnificently deep Scottish snow. #TV #1980s #BoxOfDelights #Scotland #snow

I’ve had such a lovely morning watching Lin open her birthday cards and presents. We’ll soon be heading to her parents’ house for coffee and cake. I’m first fitting in some time for #Christmas menace - Roger Limb’s AMAZING score for the 1984 children’s drama ‘The Box of Delights’! ♥️

“They’re even offering £25 for a choirboy and we scrobbled a lot of them.”
This is what we describe in the industry as short term thinking. Clearly investing in choirboys for the long term is far more ambitious and likely to reap far greater rewards.

Sad to hear the death of #JulianSands confirmed, but relieved that his family have closure now. For #BBC #BoxOfDelights (1984) fans he is remembered in a very small part as a Greek soldier. He was so charmed by the #JohnMasefield book he asked if he could appear in the TV version, even in a tiny non speaking part. RIP. #80sTV #ChildrensTV #TheBoxOfDelights #RIP

We’re closing in on the last few days of the #BoxOfDelights #RPG #game #Kickstarter. This is a fab idea, from a great #gamebook author. Definitely worth checking out for anyone who wants to adventure in the world of Masefield’s story. Roleplaying games are shared storytelling experiences, perfect for the family setting, or a gathering of friends. The book also includes material for playing in the Midnight Folk prequel. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonathangreen/the-box-of-delights-the-roleplaying-game/ #Books #ChildrensBooks #FantasyBooks #JohnMasefield

There's now a Kickstarter for a Box of Delights roleplaying game. Perfect for any fans of the classic children's book or the 1984 BBC TV series. Scrobbling, purple pim and wolves running! I backed it last night. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonathangreen/the-box-of-delights-the-roleplaying-game

Lovely article about the making of the #BoxOfDelights series. So glad Devin Stanfield sounded quite as much of an overly enthusiastic boy as I’d imagined.

Late this week with our should be Sunday Box of Delights rewatch, but now watching episode 4. And thinking just how much one particular scene is similar to the directorial choices in the later Fellowship of the Ring movie.

My "Box Of Delights" Christmas RetroSpectives video is now up on YouTube. A six-part children's miniseries that aired in the lead up to Christmas in 1984.

Delayed watching our weekly Box of Delights this week, but now tuned into episode 3. And marvelling at the filming technique for tall baddie and little rats. It’s like a proto version of what Lord of the Rings films did many years later with the hobbits and Gandalf etc.

First #MincePies of the season! Plus episode 2 of #BoxOfDelights. It was splendiforous!

I'm working on the script for this Christmas' RetroSpectives video, on "The Box Of Delights" (1984). If you remember this six-part miniseries, I'd love to hear your thoughts & memories. Some comments will be selected for inclusion in the video. Thanks! 📺🙂

Continuing our latest annual #BoxOfDelights rewatch with episode 2. Which features marvellous Scottish snow, scrobbling, a car-aeroplane, the Bloodhound of the Law, and the programme’s first use of #ThePurplePim. One of my favourite episodes of the series. https://cultbox.co.uk/features/rewind/the-box-of-delights-episode-2-review
