In seventies or eighties there was a children's programme and it was about a little girl that was unwell in bed and when she drew pictures on her note pad the pictures would come alive and for the life of me I can not remember what it was called

I have tried searching for it on Google but nothing, really would love to find out what the name of the programme was, anyone know or remember??

mollie I can't believe it I have searched and searched and here you are with the link!! Thank you so much, I have been trying for so long to find it, I absolutely loved it when I was little. Did you used to watch it too? Its such a good story idea I think.

I love a challenge - could not resist. grin Sadly I am too old to remember it and was living in Canada at the time.
will it scare today's young ones - probably not.

I remember a book of that, but not a programme.

I think the book was called "Marianne Dreams"

That's right, phoenix.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_Dreams I really loved the book but I seem to remember the television serial didn't follow the book too closely.
