This is the story of William Beech, who is evacuated to the country as Britain stands on the brink of the Second World War.

A sad, deprived child, he slowly begins to flourish under the care of Tom Oakley. But this new-found happiness is shattered by a summons from his mother back in London. As time goes by, Tom begins to worry when WIllie doesn't answer his letters, so he goes to London to find him, and there makes a terrible discovery.

This story is aimed at older key stage 2 children. The late John Thaw stars as Tom Oakley, William Beech is played by a young Nick Robinson and there is the quite frightening Mrs Beech wonderfully portrayed by Annabelle Apsion.
