Carrie's War

The story revolves around two children sent way from the WWII bombing in London to be billeted with an unknown family in Wales.

It must have been very distressing to be shipped off like this, whatever the reason.

I didn't know it was a children's story when I started to watch it, but it soon became evident.

It reminded me of The Railway Children.

The story unfolds with the children showing more maturity than some of the adult characters, particularly the prejudice and sanctimonious Mr. Evans.

I thought the ending was a bit odd.

The historical tale is brought forward some 10 years or so to end up happy ever after, but the fact that Carrie had been living under a misconception for those years was not really believable. It may have been handled better in the book.

What a shame that Keeley Fawcett disappeared from screens following this drama.
