I've been looking for a copy of a television program called "Under the Mountain" for at least six or seven years. It was broadcast on Nickelodeon in the early 80s as part of their pre-X-Files "Third Eye" series.
"Under the Mountain" was a program that originated out of New Zealand circa '82. And I've just finished watching the first episode via Bittorrent. Wavy VHS tracking problems and all (on the digital copy).
The internet age means that there is no nostalgia left that cannot be plumbed given proper diligence. I've alread reread my Susan Cooper (brilliant, brilliant stuff) and my John Christopher, described as "one of the earliest futuristic dystopian tales for children."
Now I just need a copy of the Westing Game and to watch my predownloaded copy of the first two seasons of the Tomorrow People (another overseas Nick import) and I might be set. For a little while.
