Driving me insane - A child's television series from my childhood

[vowels]

I am trying to find the name of a children's television programme from the 70s/80s. I have a clip of this prgramme trapped on a loop in my head! Driving me to distraction. I have gone through lists of programmes from this era but to no avail.

One character is a french girl about nine years old who has been staying in an English stately home. She runs away, because of a danger to her life, with a young teenage English boy, who I think is the stable lad. I think they are searching for her guardian.

I think it was set it Bristol or Yorkshire and when on the run it looked like a scene from Oliver.

Not a lot of information, but this is just the clip jammed in my head. If anyone knows the name of this programme I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you.

The Water babies popped into my head but I don't think its that. I think I know the programme you mean but sorry I can't remember the name.

I thought it was Moondial but I don’t think she was French . She stayed with her aunt ( I think) in a stately home and went back in time .

Flambards?

Unfortunately not the Water Babies nor Moondial.

Flambards, loved that programme and the music, but not that either

Thank you for the suggestions, I just hope the darn clip doesn't jam your brain too.

Don't think she was French but the Wolves of Willoughby Chase came to mind when reading that description.

Not Wolves of Willoughby Chase either, thank you fir the suggestion.

Minnie18, my apologies to you and your husband.

Follyfoot? Seems a bit too scary for that though.
