I first watched this programme as an eight year old back in 1986, and have been in love with it ever since, to just recommend this episode would be a travesty, as each of the four episodes are equally wonderful. It is set in the late 1940's/ early 1950's and is about an orphaned young boy at boarding school in southern england. Upon realising his location the grandmother of the young boy known as "Tolly" or Master Towesland, sends for him at once to spend the Christmas holiday with her. Tolly has up until then been unaware of his surviving relation and the ancestral home where he is about to be residing for the next few weeks where the magic begins to unfold as do all the family history and secrets.. Everything about this programme is amazing, the beautiful locations, the costumes not to mention the highly talented actors/actresses involved. I watched each episode I had recorded on VHS for many years after the original 1986 airing, as it had a very strong place in my heart and still does! I just wish it would be officially released on DVD., i would be prepared to pay a lot of money for it!
