Carrie's War (2004 Coky Giedroyc)

Mary Rose Helen Giedroyc is Mel's elder sister and much in demand on TV, where she has directed versions of Oliver Twist, Wuthering heights, Fear of Fanny and The Virgin Queen, Spies of Warsaw and The Hour. 'Carrie's War' was written in 1973 by Nina Bawden, who was herself evacuated to Wales during World War II aged 14. (Q was right - it was first televised in 1974.) This adaptation is by Michael Crompton.

Keeley Fawcett plays Carrie (having been At Home with the Braithwaites, she retired after this) and Jack Stanley her brother. With Alun Armstrong, Eddie Cooper, Lesley Sharp, Pauline Quirke, Geraldine McEwan and Jamie Beddard.

I reckon it's Carrie kissing AA that changes everything.
