Hello,

I'm trying to identify a weekday children's drama from the early-mid 1980's. It began with a girl walking along a school corridor, looking at old black and white school photographs with a hymn being sung in the background. It was a ghost story/thriller based (I think, about a school that was closing) and seemed pretty frightening at the time. My memory is that it was part of the Dramarama series as broadcast by Tyne-Tees, which included some of the Spooky episodes. I'm sorry that this is so vague - I'd be very grateful for any help.

Hi. The series you're talking about was called 'Spooky'.
It was a little weird how they presented it though - it came out as 'Dramarama: Spooky', then if I remember correctly about six or seven episodes in they dropped the 'Spooky' moniker, became simply 'Dramarama', and continued without the horror elements.
It replayed later simply as 'Spooky'.

The episode your describing was called War Games with Caroline.

I loved these creepy episodes and really wish they were available to buy or download as I would love to see them again. They really scared me at the time!
