3Episodes
We now meet a new Grandad and two new children, Tom and Nikki. This time Grandad's magic relies on his collection of old 16mm films - when they are projected he is able to take his grandchildren 'into' the films and back to the time when they were made. All the adventures now take place in 1901 and have a recurring cast of characters.
