| Producer: Wgbh Boston Video |
Jenny Agutter stars as the mother in this Masterpiece Theater remake of the beloved 1970 Lionel Jeffries film of the same name, in which she played the oldest daughter.

This early 20th-century story based on Edith Nesbit's novel is set in motion when the children's father is taken off in the night from their London home and the family moves to the country in reduced circumstances.

A couple of their heroics are accomplished with the assistance of a jovial-looking gentleman....
