Quick, quick, it’s starting!
I hope that the Radio Times website people don’t mind me nicking the episode description to preserve it for posterity.

1/13-Return
Children’s drama series about a boy who makes a new friend on the mysterious and deserted Eel Island. Scott returns to Eel Island where he and Sapphire are soon thrown into a new adventure. They discover a cave full of precious jewels and have to outwit the sinister Green Beryl, who wants to take over the island.
The “offline” version of the Radio Times credits Luke Ward-Wilkinson in the role of Scott, but doesn’t credit Ms. Lukoszevieze, sadly.
It also says that Lesley Joseph will be guest-starring, which is really weird! I wonder what she’ll be doing in it…

So that was the first episode, then!
Any pedants reading this might like to know that the episode title appeared on screen as “The Return”, rather than just “Return”.
My impression is that the story was slightly more complex than any in the first series. I suspect the programme makers are taking into account the fact that the first-series viewers are now a year and a half older, and are aiming the new series at them and their peers, rather than trying to capture a new set of viewers of the younger age.
Of course, my impression might be wrong…
And of course, Lesley Joseph played “Green Beryl”. If I’d paid more attention to the advert you posted above, or even just the episode description, I might have been able to guess that!

2/13-Signs
Children’s drama series about a boy who makes a new friend on the mysterious and deserted Eel Island. Scott and Sapphire discover a secret path across the sinking sands and race to prevent the evil Green Beryl from finding it.
And some good news! The offline version of the Radio Times this time credits not only Luke Ward-Wilkinson and Lesley Joseph, but also… Elysia Lukoszevieze. Fame at last!
And yes, that last link to the IMDb does work. It turns out that they’ve finally got round to adding both The Secret of Eel Island and its leading lady to the database. And about time, too!

They’re showing a film today (Casper’s Haunted Christmas) in the time slot where The Secret of Eel Island would normally be. So are they just skipping a week, and showing the ninth episode next Sunday? I hope they haven’t just hidden it in a different time slot where no-one will see it, because it would be a shame if regular viewers missed an episode as a result.

I usually tape the episodes, but, annoyingly, I won’t be able to this week, as we’re having building work done, and the builders have disconnected the relevant leads from the aerial. Apparently it was necessary to do this, and impossible to rectify before they went home for the weekend.
Is anyone else taping it…?
