Review of The Gift

The Gift (1990– )
8/10
Striking effective Brit serial for Teens
10 October 2017
Saw this in 1990 on ABC TV in Australia. I was hooked by the boy's powers, loyalty shown by his friend Sonia (a very young but totally convincing Jodhi May, 2 years before _Last of the Mohicans_) & the silent menace of Wolf (Gary Whelan), who pursues them.

At only six 25 minute episodes, it was typical of Brit TV drama of the time, but told an effective story with real tension & no sense of predictability or a comfortable outcome.
