I loved Under The Mountain back when it aired (giving away my age there in case there was any doubt). Can't remember if I've seen the movie so I'm locating that now. Still have the TV show on my computer along with a bunch of Kiwi content.

I vaguely remember the TV show but I was still pretty young when it came out. I just found a you tube channel that has all the episodes on it so i have saved that to my playlist to watch.
