a lady buried up to her waist in the sand

[Dollie]

Saw the latter end of what I think was a kid's tv prog about a year ago. A older lady was buried in the sand on a windy beach (from her waist down) happily talking to someone else buried a bit further along the beach - haven't a clue what it was about - does anybody know?

Thanks in anticipation

I may be wrong, but I remember my Theatre Studies teacher mentioning something like this by Samuel Beckett as the only play she ever walked out of, and there was a big Beckett film season on in 2002/3. Maybe you caught a repeat...

Just re-read the question. This doesn't sound like the sort of thing that would be on kids telly.

It wasn't the treasure seekers or 5 children and it which is about the kids who meet the samead (sand fairy) and are granted wishes but something always goes wrong

This rings a bell with me, about a year or two ago I had a day off sick at work and I think it was a school's programme; there were some old people, dusty and rotten and dead looking in an attic and some little talking weird things. The older man of the two was convinced he was going to die and kept getting the younger one to push him around and stuff. At the end the younger one climbed a ladder and looked out of the loft window over a beach? It was really weird and a bit spooky, but I couldn't find out what it was!!

I know this is no real help to you but if you think it might be the same thing then it might jog someone else's memory!
