- TriviaDonald Houston's attempt at a Cornish accent is poor- should have stuck to native Welsh. His mother's accent flits between West Country, Irish and Chelsea vicariously. Saturday morning viewing really. They should have made more use of William Hartnell's character to give it some gravitas.
Featured review
A pleasant enough way to waste an hour or so, nice to see sleepy Fowey in the 50's, and the chance to see a very interesting cast - early performances from Kenneth Cope, Robert Shaw and as usual William Hartnell adds some class in the acting department. However the whole affair is doomed from the start by a series of comically appalling "RADA Cornish " accents (Oooh arrgh me 'andsome !) - particularly by Faye Compton as the mum, and Donald Houston himself, who was worthy of much better than this, and a soundtrack that sounds straight from "Ivor the Engine". Hmmm.
