-Comment: At least Tom Beeby ? or James Hobbs as Will, maybe 10 yo or a bit younger, in a short white sailor suit, white long collar with one stripe (pictured) and I think also 3 girls in a similar sailor dresses and other kids and grown-ups in interesting historical clothing including flat and high hats. Also at least two older boys in the past and maybe one in the present time?

I don't know/don't remember this movie. It's probably based on the famous novel by Denise Giardina about Emily Bronte and her sisters (according to the title, the names of the characters etc). Another British CFU production (Children's Film Unit, see also "The Gingerbread House", same director, and the CFF/CFTF movies).

Looks very interesting. There are a lot of other movies and series with a ghost plot but this seems to have more setting in the 1900s or earlier (novel is set in 1840) and good costumes.

I have to check this again. I think this is available on DVD and VHS directly from CFU, maybe on CD-r. 65 minutes. There's also a set of audio cassettes.

Rating 5-6 for now. No clips.
