This is from a recording from a repeat a few years ago that I did for my mum, as this was a favourite of hers. It was another in a long line of children's TV classics, first broadcast on January 9th 1991. It was followed by two sequels involving the Psammead: The Return of the Psammead (1993) and The Phoenix and the Carpet (1996).
