It must have been the early seventies, but does anyone remember a lunchtime children's programme on ITV about a monk who was walled up by his fellows for his devilish experiments? He'd invented a time machine which I think was discovered hundreds of years later in 'modern day' and the monk was sort of haunting the hero to get him to go back and release him? I think it was narrated and illustrated with drawings?
Any help that this is not some frenzied nightmare will be welcome!

Sorry, I'm not sure. There was a show called Timeslip from the 70s but I don't think it was narrated/animated and a show called Time Warp Trio but that's not from the 70s. There was a time travelling programme from the 70s called A Hitch In Time, but I don't remember a monk and it was a one off Saturday Morning Kids Club movie. I loved it though.

Thanks for trying! I'm afraid it was none of those. They used to have different shows each lunchtime, one about Captain Cook I recall if that helps place the period. But it was definitely drawings narrated in some way. Or I may be mad. That is possible.

There's a list of shows shown on ITV here. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Pretend_(TV_series)It's quite a long list, but it has Let's Pretend which I used to watch at lunchtimes when I was a kid so it seems quite comprehensive. Maybe have a look and see if anything jumps out. I've done that in the past, couldn't think of the word, song, programme, whatever, but when I've seen in written down something's clicked. Good luck.

I asked my son but it was too early for him and he doesn’t remember it. You could try writing to ITV and asking them.

Thanks everyone. My memory is so sketchy I'm not sure what to ask ITV. But I'll look through the list and see if anything jogs my memory.

I think you’ve given enough detail on here for them to identify it.

...my brother tells me there was a doctor who episode/s which had a time travelling monk, but would have probably been 60s.
Yes, but 'The Monk' was a renegade Time Lord - played by Peter Butterworth, no less! - who liked to alter history (for example, preventing the Norman Conquest with the aid of advanced weaponry) and neither of his stories - The Time Meddler and The Daleks' Masterplan - resemble Technicolour's description and were shown 1965-66.

I know, I think I made it clear that I never thought Tecnicolours disruption was the Doctor Who episode which is why I mentioned that it was the 60s, which wouldnt fir the 70s as mentioned. Add to that it's not ITV but BBC. I only mentioned it because of the similarities with the 'Monk' and time travel.

"I know, I think I made it clear that I never thought Tecnicolours disruption "
My 'disruption' I get the reference to The Meddling Monk but as you say, it isn't him. I'm stumped so far. I'm trying to remember other shows on at the same period but the memory is not what it was!

Lol, 'description'. 😶
I'd have thought that being quite an unusual premise that once it was googled it would come up with an answer straight away, but nothing. If it had been on BBC you could have used the genome website that has the listings for all the shows (like flicking through old issues of the Radio Times!) But I don't know if there's an ITV version.
