Need help with a TV series identification

[porthillking]

Hi guys. Recently, a TV series I watched as a kid has been playing on my mind. Basically, what it involves, is 2 teenagers (I think) with an old man, who all have magical powers, a group of evil people trying to get (I think) a set of keys and a box. At the end of one of the episodes, the old man gets a magical wristband placed around his wrist by the evil people, which cancels out his powers. I know it's not much to go on, but any help is appreciated.

Was it, by any chance, shown at Christmas and called "The Box of Delights?

 

[porthillking]

No, it wasn't that Famine. I watched it in year 3 I think, so it would have been age-appropriate.

As in "2004ish"? 'Cos the Box of Delights was shown every Saturday evening leading up to Christmas, so it was "age-appropriate" in the sense of family viewing.

Yeah it was 2004ish. I've googled what you suggested Famine, but it doesn't seem familiar. Any other suggestions?

Could you narrow it down to a certain channel or production company? Was it a BBC job or perhaps on a cable channel? Animated or live action.

I think I might know, but the though just escapes me without any more info.

I think it may have been BBC, i'm not 100% sure though.

If you know the country of origin for the show it should help narrow it down.
You can use wikipedia to get many 'lists' of things, such as:
