I was thinking today (yes I do sometimes  Wink ) about a film I couldn't remember the title of and I thought I would start a topic where we could call on the vast Shack knowledge to help with these sorts of problems.  I will start with two films / series that are really bugging me.

First one is a really old British comedy film about a TB sanitarium.  Yes honestly it was set in a hospital ward where all the patience's were recovering from TB.  It had an incredibly young Kenneth Williams as the dashing hero who got the girl in the end and was like a Carry On film but a bit more tragic - well they did all have TB!

The second series I need help with was a Manga cartoon from the 80's.  It was in loads of parts and was about four wealthy orphaned brothers who discovered they were part gods and could turn into dragons.  The baddies wanted to corrupt the brothers so that the dragons could be used for evil purposes but of course they remained good.  There was a major twist in the end, which I won't mention in case anyone happens to catch it. 

So if anyone knows the titles of these please put me out of my misery.  Or if you have a film that is driving you nuts and you need more info type away.   Grin

hmmmmm the Kenneth Williams film sounds familiar but I couldn't find anything online when I looked which matched the description you gave.

Dunno if this will jog the leetle grey cells or not ...

Its not a film but a kids TV show. I loved it but can't remember for the life of me what it was called. There was this girl and she went into this garden and if she held onto the sundial she would travel in time to the Victorian era or something  Undecided

Sorry Sharon I have no idea about yours. Roll Eyes

Well done Jules  Grin  It was on the Kenneth Williams site and was called Twice Round the Daffodils.  I have to say that I could have tried to think of that title all my life and never remembered it  ROFL!

So one down one to go.  Grin
