I can't parse 20a

Hall drama swapped for old children's series (4,6)

Only one children's series seems to fit! It had various-shaped windows. I can see the drama, and it would need to be "swapped", but I can't connect the other word with "hall".

Thanks, jazzy - as I said, I've done that, but why does the second word mean "hall"? I'm obviously missing something!

(It's not just "Dotheboys", is it?)
