[texol]

Sorry but im gonna be real vague on this one. Me and the guys at work remember a tv series that involved a pheonix that was born from an egg in a fireplace, it was set during victorian times and a flying carpet seems to ring a bell. ive trawelled through Tvcream and imdb but really need a title can anyone help?

Wow - what a flashback. I really really remember it (no one else does mind!) I used to love it! I'll do some digging or hopefully someone else will beat me to it.

Funnily enough called Phoenix and the Carpet.
