"This got a BAFTA nod for Best British Screenplay and you can easily see why. It is a gentle, almost nostalgic, reminder of how different society was in the UK 60 years ago. Barbara Murray ("Ann") is a social worker struggling to look after a collection of kids from a variety of disadvantaged backgrounds. She meets and falls for the kind, gentle, real-life crooner Max Bygraves ("Bill") who has some fairly traumatic baggage of his own, and they both set about trying to bring a little happiness to themselves and to their young charges. This doesn't pull it's punches ..."
💡 Did You Know?
Two of the main child characters were Australian: Dana Wilson (as Barbie) and Colin Peterson (as Georgie). Both children have very noticeable accents. Colin Peterson's accent is particularly strong but it's explained away by the fact his mother, an actress, had spent time working in Australia. However, Dana Wilson's character was supposedly from the Kings Cross area of London and she was a sister of two boys who, in fact, have London accents.
