Brian Finch adapted Michelle Magorian's 1981 children's book involving dreadful Dickensian horror about an abused child who is evacuated in World War II to the home of a grumpy widower. These two are Nick Robinson and John Thaw, sporting the latest in Father Christmas beards and yokel accent. How he could have let the kid go back to his mother after seeing those welts on his back I do not know.
With Annabelle Apsion (Call the Midwife, Shameless), Thomas Orange, William Armstrong, Geoffrey Beevers. Mossie Smith.
Good music from Carl Davis, photographed with the aid of a crane by Chris O'Dell. Filmed in Turville.
