Hiya, this is my thread here, I have quite a few pieces of unidentified media I've been on long-term searches for, but I thought I'd start with this one.
This was live-action scene that I caught on television. It depicted two girls, most likely teens. One was holding a doll, about the size of a Baby Born from memory. It was grubby, governed in black smudges. The other girl confronts her, claiming that the doll was hers. The girl holding the doll responds with something to the effect of "You didn't want her!" It then cuts to a flashback of the doll engulfed in flames. I'm pretty sure the doll was calling for help, it may have been calling the name of its owner.
This was definitively some time between 1997 and 2007 (maybe slightly later but definitely no earlier.) This was in the UK. I'm fairly certain it was pre-watershed. I don't remember it feeling dated at the time, so I feel like it was probably current.
I can confirm that it is not any of the doll episodes from Are You Afraid of the Dark; Really You; Chinga; Talky Tina; the fire PSA with the doll; Tottie; Maelstrom; Ghost Whisperer "A Vicious Cycle" (although the imagery felt very similar in this one); Toy Love (Round the Twist).
I have also searched within episode descriptions of other high-frequency suggestions such as Goosebumps, and pretty much every episode description available on the CBBC and CITV former programming wiki list for "doll" as a keyword and have not been able to find anything, but if anyone knows of a specific episode that fits this description within a series I've already searched, I will of course check that episode!
At this point, I'd very much like to at least hear from anyone who also remembers this scene, even if they don't know the source itself!
