Mirror Mirror - First Episode

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1995

In this children's fantasy, the everyday trials of teenager Jo Tiegan — a new school, tension with mum — are soon forgotten as a mysterious mirror sends her back in time to her house in 1919. There, Jo (Australian actor Petra Yared) encounters 14-year-old Louisa Airdale (Michala Banas). In this first episode, Jo is gifted the mirror, makes the journey to the past and learns how her local archaeological dig may be linked to the magic afoot. In the time honoured tradition of time travel tales, Jo's excursion threatens present day consequences. More is written on the award-winning trans-Tasman co-production in this backgrounder

The concept of time travel was a universal genre I thought kids of all ages could relate to. The story came from the whole idea of what would happen if one day you looked in the mirror and saw another face.
– Series creator Posie Graeme-Evans, in The Evening Post, 14 November 1995, page 10
