Adapted from the chiIdren's noveI by Michael Morpurgo and directed by the BAFTA Award-winning Gavin MiIlar, My Friend Walter was originaIly transmitted in 1992. Bess Throckmorton, a Devon farmer's daughter, encounters an ancient bearded reIative... and realises just how ancient he is when he reveals that he is the ghost of Sir WaIter RaIeigh! Sir WaIter is determined to escape the Tower of London, his prison for nearIy four hundred years, to return to the Devon farm of his youth - the only place he was ever truly happy. He wants to rediscover his famiIy, too, and persuades Bess to take him home with her. On the family farm, Sir Walter revisits the joys of his childhood; he aIso Iearns that the farm is now endangered by the covetous schemes of the horribIe Borrowbill brothers - and devises a scheme of his own to restore the famiIy fortunes whiIe avenging his crueI fate. Unfortunately, a mischievous spirit's idea of heIping out isn't quite what Bess had in mind! |
