Into the Labyrinth has to be one of the all time classic spooky and original kids series in years. Produced over three series from 1982 to 1984 on ITV it starred Ron Moody as magician Rothgo. Who is thwarted in his quest to regain the all powerful Nidus through time and space by the sexy Pamela Salem as the witch Balor. The Nidus much like the Dr Who 'Key to Time' has the power to hold the universe together and can be used as a weapon. Rothgo manages to entice three children into his cave where he controls the Labyrinth. The Dying Rothgo summons his powers to send the kids on a quest into the Labyrinth to find the Nidus. So over the first two series the children collect parts of the Nidus from various time zones. Rothgo takes on the form of various important people through history. As the locations are set in the caves it means that the time travel lacks credibility but it makes it feel spooky. In the final series Ron Moody leaves the part to be replaced by Lazlo who in effect takes over the role. This series was almost all filmed at the Wooky Hole caves in somerset and some studio filming. The effects are quite rubbish by todays standards and Balor flying through the caves looks comical. I am so glad that this series is finally being issued and I can't wait to see it again. It's one of those childhood jems that tend to stay in the memory and you never get the chance to re-live.

One has to be positively biased when a release like this is made, since it just wasn't available at all before. The whole series in one pack and good quality of audio/video may be the required minimum to match; both of them are achieved here. But a certain additional effort would have been very welcome; since this show was successfully broadcasted in other European non-English-speaking countries, any subtitles would be extremely useful (even English would do). The same to say about extra audio or a simple booklet; considering The Third Eye programme spanned into other 3 similar shows, that would provide enough interesting stuff to write about.

"Who for Sixpence"
This is a broadly Who-ish concept. Ancient wizard Rothgo sends children into the past to retrieve his power source- the Nidus & prevent witch Belor from getting her mitts on it. Read more

Formulaic juvenile trilfe
As an eight year old I enjoyed this show immensely. Not so much now as an adult. Season one is okay. Rich atmosphere and good general idea, but little depth or explanation. Read more
