Oh yes, Barbara, that was a wonderful series. I particularly liked the way Barrie was shown as in effect flirting with the boys, offering exciting ideas and games (and his big friendly dog) and then withdrawing his attention until they begged him to play with them.
I don't suppose this film goes on to show how, once the Ll-Ds were growing up and their mother gone, Barrie did it again, and moved in on the family of Lady Cynthia Asquith. She and her husband were, like the Ll-Ds having finacncial troubles, and Barrie solved the problem for them by making Lady C his secretary, but it was apparently not much fun for her husband having to trail around after Barrie with her.

Based on the book by Andrew Birkin, which gives all the facts. -- ________________________________________ Girlsown mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] For self-administration and access to archives see http://home.it.net.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/girlsown For FAQs see http://www.club-web.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/girlsown/faq-0.htm
