Aaaaw, I was so in love with Madeline and Orry :wub:

I wasn't allowed to watch it when it was first aired on German television. My mother thought it would be too brutal for me to watch, I was about 8 or something. So I sneaked into the living room in the evening and hid under the sofa to see it - I never got caught, but I woke up a few times in the middle of the night still lying on the carpet :laugh:
