In one children of the stones episode I distinctly remember the kids ending up in a tunnel beneath the water. They jumped up into the ceiling of the tunnel and worked their way through some jelly goo to eventually reach the botton of the water and swim up to the top.

Those were some great shows... especially as a youngster.

I also remember that the red and blue stones would get to hot to hold (maybe if they were put too close together?) Ultimately in the final episode the kids shot each other with a red and blue catapolt lighting shot from each other or something. Please correct me... it's been 20 years since I saw them and it's way too fuzzy now.

Hey tdion,
That was not Children of the Stones. I beleive it was Under the Mountain. I have Children of the Stones on DVD (got it from Amazon.comUK).
Love those shows!

I love this site. Found it by accident one night surfing. To find people who remember the Third Eye?!?! I was fairly young and perhaps my memories are skewed by time, but I remember being bowled over by the subject matter, as there was very little sci-fi/fantasy/horror fare to be had in those early days of cable television. The Third Eye blew me away. It was scary and sophisticated, with some unflinchingly bizarre story premises. I too would love to accquire the series on DVD, just to see if it is as fulfilling as I remember. The music for Children of the Stones was terrifying! Those horrible wailing choral pieces. *shivers* even to this day.

I remember the Third Eye as well. It has been a while since I have seen anything on it. Living in Memphis at the time, PBS showed those shows as well, as we did not have cable. I have found a site that is selling non-pirated copies of some old shows out of the UK. Here is the link...

Also, I was trying to think of a show, which could be the same, where in the beginning of the show, there seemed to be an eye (maybe more than one) in a hand. I was thinking it was the beginning of the Third Eye, but was not sure. I can only remember seeing the "Into the Labyrinth" part, as the characters are familiar. The others I am not to sure of, as I haven't seen many pictures of them.

Thanks for the updates. The link seems kind of expensive for my tastes, but would like to have the videos, some day. Great to see other people remembering old shows, that were so different in the day.

I believe the "eye in the hand" was The Tomorrow People. kids that had telepathic powers and could teleport. This show was broadcast around the same time as The Third Eye. You can get the Tomorrow People on DVD from Amazon.com UK, but you need a DVD player that will play PAL format and region 2. I find that the DVD player on my computer plays them with no problem.

It may have been the Tomorrow People, was not sure. It just seemed to be during the beginning of the show and inbetween scenes, from what I can remember. I may be totally off, thinking of an eye on the Third Eye, if there was one. It has been long ago.

The pics I have seen of the first two seasons of "Into the Labyrinth" bring back quite a few memeories. I think those were the only two I saw, not for certain though.

I will have to look for the DVDs that are out there. If they will play on my computer that will be great. I have just a normal DVD player and a VCD player, besides the computer one.

It's all Greek to me.

OK, first off I'm new to the site so please ignore my ignorance. I have been searching for a TV show that I remember seeing when I was young. Well after searching (a couple weeks) I came across The Third Eye. It does sound familiar but I wanted to add what I remember and see if it WAS the Third Eye. PLease help!!!

For some reason I remember the show being on Nickelodeon, all I remember is it was creepy. I remember there was a group of kids lost or running thru caves. I remember some object like a large gold or brass candlestick (maybe not a candlestick) but I remember this object being of some importance. I sort of remember someone chasing after them or they were after the same object. They might have traveled thru these caves by some sort of teleport/time.....not sure, the more I think the further away I seem to get.

Please Help, I think it was the third eye, but which story if so... Thanks!

Do you remember if it started out around some sort of campfire? If so then it may be Are You Afraid of the Dark?. If not... then I can't help you there.

Posted By: Dreamaker Dec 31, 2004 - 07:03 am

To be honest with you I don't remember. I know it was a long time ago, early 80's and I don't remember if "Are you afraid of the dark" was on that early. I can't remember much more details from the show, just remember some sort of gold object that they were aftef, and they were in tunnels or caves.

Ackkk this is very nerve racking.

The Third Eye is the only show that is ringing a bell but I guess they had 4 different series in it. hmmmmm..

Posted By: Magus Dec 31, 2004 - 12:01 pm

Try TV Tome.com. That's my secret to tv shows and the like. Maybe you can pinpoint it there. Other then that, I'm sorry to say, I can't help any more. I never really heard of this show until this topic popped up.

Posted By: Dreamaker Jan 02, 2005 - 09:43 am

Tried it, they have very limited details about the show and the few other series they did. I'm almost positive it was Thid Eye, just can't remember which one. Guess I have to keep hunting them down. Thanks for the help. Do you know if there is any copies of this show floating around?

Posted By: Magus Jan 02, 2005 - 10:38 am

No idea. Sorry.

The Third Eye was one of my favorite shows when I was little. I remember there being 3 segments. One was about a window and if you looked at it at a certain time you would turn to stone. There were a bunch of rocks in the yard and if you touched them you would hear some screaming noise.

Another segment was about a red head kid running though these white tunnels. I think they were running from giant worms or something? Can’t Remember.

The third segment was about a group of kids in a cave / cavern that led them through different adventures, I think something was following them also, or they were looking for someone who went before.

I loved this show and would love to see it again now 20 years later.

I know the feeling. I have a theory that anything from your childhood becomes cool again when you cease being a child.

Not sure if anyone is still paying attention to this thread, but the show referred to above by Dreamaker is Into the Labyrinth, and was shown on the Third Eye on early Nickelodeon in the USA.

I was 8, so my recollection of it is pretty bad, but the item of importance that the kids were battling with a sorcerer to find the object(called the Nidus I think).

Brit fantasy/sci-fi ruled TV in the 70s...this was one little piece that made it across the pond to us.

Flynn is right about Into the Labyrinth. The other two series were Under the Mountain and Children of the Stones.
