Ali: The helicopter sound comes really early, and I was like ‘what, they’re putting the helicopter in now?’ Well, they look like - you look yourself. Look between the bars, only don’t let them see you. Outside the fence - you can see between the posts. Be careful.’ Mark also has the same homeschooling teacher as Marianne, Miss Chesterfield (Patricia Maynard) although the two children have never met. So, in Paperhouse, it’s a similar setup, Anna draws her father and then decides she’s drawn him wrong and scribbles his face out.

Both of them have the lighthouse having an important role in their escape. In the book they find through this strange radio that THEY are intolerant to the light, because every time the beam of the lighthouse sweeps round they hear THEM whispering ‘not the light, not the light!’ and the stones close their eyes for a few moments, so Marianne and Mark can sneak out the house. His room is now darkened by puzzling bars that criss-crossed the window and he feels that the stones outside Ren: I know, I can’t believe we used that joke on a previous episode when this one is literally about a house made of paper. The series was filmed at Barr Beacon, Aldridge, near the ATV Birmingham studios. A film version ( Paperhouse) was produced in 1988 with Charlotte Burke in the role of Marianne. Ren: And then right at the end of that, the dream and the real world are completely blurred in the film, because she ends up finding a note from Mark, at the real lighthouse, that he’s gone off to write in the dream. So it’s definitely a lot less demarcated between the real world and the dream world and how they relate.Storr continued writing novels into her eighties.

And we get that in Marianne Dreams, in the lighthouse at the end, where there’s a suggestion that Marianne and Mark might actually set up a “permanent” home together there. You can imagine them both finding retreating into this mutual parallel existence every night on a long-term basis, while going about their everyday business during waking hours. It’s a rather lovely thought. I think it may have also featured a house, but I particularly remember the flat 2d painted trees in the dream woods.
