Genre: Drama
Duration: 1 h 3 min
Rating: 7.7
Cast: David Macalister, Paul A. Martin, Angela Lee

Back in the halcyon days of British cinema, a host of Children's Film Foundation offering were screened to the unruly masses. This was the first one I ever saw, an engaging slice of nonsense in the Famous Five mould with a bunch of kids racing against the clock to prevent localised chaos. I've not seen it for at least 25 years so time may not have been kind, but at the time I enjoyed it and suggest this is ideal for nostalgic thirtysomethings and the undiscerning viewer.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
