Break In The Sun
« on: March 15, 2009, 12:44:37 PM »
Anyone remember this?

It was a one-off six-part childrens' TV drama based on the Bernard Ashley book of the same story. Nicola Cowper played Patsy Bligh, a schoolgirl who ran away from her mum and stepdad's London flat to find a kindly elderly neighbour from her previous home in Margate. I remember watching it, and I recall that on her travels, she befriended a group of people who owned a sailing yacht.

Largely filmed in Kent with the ending being a showdown between Patsy and her stepdad - played by Brian (Terry The Chef) Hall in the Dreamland amusement park in Margate. It was made in 1980 and shown on childrens' BBC in 1981.

Incidently, does anyone know who did the theme tune? or what it's called?

Don't remember it at all sadly, but I know it's one of those programmes I would have wanted to watch  :)

More please!
