I'd never even heard about it before until I saw a documentary about it.

It was made in the Lake District around Windermere (I think) and it couldn't have been made today - with the child cruelty laws.

I'd like to check it too (well at least to see if it's worth watching) :)

ooh, i forgot all about this, cheers for the re-mind :)

i've just had a quick scout around the usual downloaded sources and it's not available as video, tho it is available as an audio-book.

but i think i've got it on betamax somewhere, stashed in a box along with 'chocky' and 'the boy from space' and a few other odd bbc productions of that era.

they're probably in my parents loft alongside the old 'sanyo betacord vcr5000' which every household around here also at that time...

:)


Ah, well if you ever manage to get it from storage, let me know. Lucky for me my folks also have a Beetamax! :)
