I remember watching this as a child as part of the Children;s Film Foundations Friday Film Specials on CBBC and have recently happened upon a copy.
In the twenty or so years since my last viewing this film has lost nothing.
It is an atmospheric tale which entices with Cornish folklore and adds elements of truly creepy imagery of the ghost of the young miner Billy.
Shot in the wonderfully scenic Port Loe area of Cornwall the film utilises the mixture of rugged coastline and abandoned tin mines to make the setting truly believable.
There is much packed into this CFF drama, something long since lost from Children's television today and well worth a look if you can track down a copy.
