which old kids tv program is this from????

[Badwolf]

this has bugged me for years...and no one i know can remember this...so heres hoping someone here can!
all i remember is there is a group of kids who i think are staying in a big old manor house and they find a magic ring. the ring grants wishes, but it only works some of the time. the main bit i remember (it used to freak me out as a kid) is the children decide to put on a play and as they don't have any audience they make these freaky dummies to watch it.they didn't have any faces they were just blank. one of the kids wishes that the audience were real and they come to life and then silently chase the kids (a bit zombie like), and the kids only just get away from them. i used to be really scared of that scene and its now bugging me what the program was called.
can anybody help???

Its based on a book by E. Nesbit called The Enchanted Castle. This is a link I found but it is a place to start.
