British television drama for children, screened in New Zealand during mid-1970s. A young (12?) convalescent girl is confined to her room. She is frustrated and bored and has few entertainments besides drawing. When she falls asleep she enters a world reflecting whatever she has drawn. She draws a house. She falls asleep and dreams of visiting the house, standing alone in a deserted rural landscape. She adds a face in the window of the house she has drawn. When she next dreams she meets a boy of similar age, apparently trapped. He tells her he is cold and hungry; she draws clothes and food for him. At some point they argue. She, in a fit of pique, scribbles over the window and, in the dream world, the window is obscured by a something solid and black like the scribble. She has drawn tall monolithic stones "watching" the house, ostensibly to intimidate the boy (?). When next in the dream world the stones have become animate and crowd towards the house. I remember being quite freaked out (in a similar fashion to the old (Jon Pertwee) Dr Who which, while kitch and corny, was somehow terrifying for youngsters).
Can anybody recall the title of this production? I'm fairly certain it was British in origin (though possibly made in NZ).
