The Borrowers |
The series is the sequel to The Borrowers, another TV series that first aired in 1992 also on BBC2 and TNT. Like the first series, every episode (except the last one) ended on a cliffhanger.
Both series follow the Clocks, a family of tiny people who have fled from their home under the floorboards in an old manor into the English countryside.
