I was born weeks before Children of the Stones was released; I have vague memories of watching (and being scared by) Blake's 7 with my parents but haven't seen it since it was originally broadcast. I've downloaded both, can't wait to get stuck in.

I really enjoyed watching Children of the Stones, and every so often I would play it again, it’s at a time when society was respectful of each other and was a clean production that there was no need for swearing and extreme violence (unlike the modern sorts of series that have swearing) thanks Gareth for all of your wonderful work.

I loved it back in the 70s, I was 13 when it aired, and I watch it over again from time to time today.

Didn’t see Children of the Stones at the time, and have recently watched the series. I would describe it as quality television.👏👍

Thanks for uploading this...Great interview. I saw this series when I was about 8 and it made a big impact on me...with the scary music and creepy stones at the start and the energy beam in the finale.

It's a really great show, and Gareth comes across as a great father figure in it. One of the few series I've watched multiple times.

@@ppotter Yes...always good for a rewatch. I just want to remind myself of it and then I end up rewatching it all😀. I really loved Ian Cuthbertson in this. I don't remember seeing him in anything else but I must have.

It was a genuinely remarkable series. You can always mess with the heads of people of my generation by saying "Happy day!" People who saw it get a shiver when you say that! LOL

I loved COTS as a kid, I remember the intro always freaked me out lol. I also remember my first time visiting Avebury unaware the programme was filmed there, having a mega case of Deja Vu, very odd feeling. Avebury is one of my favourite places in the country and Id love to see a re-make of it done today.

Maybe, but it was a quick low budget video for an indie DVD company, and probably without the usual make-up assistant. He probably looks just like a lot of men his age.
