Mirror, Mirror II is a co-production between Australia and New Zealand that was released in 1997. Unlike the first series, Mirror, Mirror, which was one story played out over a number of episodes, this series has individual adventures in each new episode, but there is a story linking them all.
The main cast of the series were Simon James as Daniel McFarlane, Ben Revell as Fergus McFarlane, Antonia Prebble as Mandy McFarlane, Jovita Shaw as Constance de Lutrelle, Zoe Bertram as Violette de Lutrelle, Tina Regtien as Jenny McFarlane, Simon Ferry as Doug McFarlane, Barry Quinn as Gervaise de Lutrelle, Melanie Thompson as Mai Ling, and Denise O'Connell as Aunt Lily
In this series, the mirror has come into the hands of two other families the McFarlane's and the de Lutrelle's. They both live in the same house, but are separated from each other by 130 years.
Gervaise, Violette and their daughter Constance, live in the house in 1867, in that time the house is surrounded by goldfields. The family had emigrated from their home in France, with vestiges of their wealth. They hope to find gold in the surrounding hills so they can restore their family's high status.
Doug, Jenny and his two new stepchildren, live in the house in 1997, the troublesome Aunt Lily also lives with them. Daniel, Doug's other son decides he wants to meet his father, who left him and his mother when he was a baby. Daniel invites himself to stay with the family for the holidays.
The series begins with the mirror appearing in the attic of a house in the country and Daniel traveling to meet his father, and new step-siblings for the first time. When he arrives at the house, he is not made to feel very welcome. His stepsister Mandy is very upset and runs off to the attic. Daniel tries to resolve the upset and goes after her. When he enters the attic he notices the reflection of a young girl in the mirror. Daniel tries to investigate but Mandy gets in his way and they stumble through the mirror into 1867. They eventually get back, but later Lily and Mandy go through the mirror. While they are in 1867, the mirror is knocked out of alignment and they cannot travel back to their own time. Trapped in 1867 they spend the night in the de Lutrelle's barn. They finally get back home when the mirror is put back into alignment.
