    This six-part children’s thriller serial from the BBC was filmed on location on the South Kent coast.

    Martin Frazer (William Abney) attends a squadron reunion at a country inn near Folkestone (which was once the popular local for the men and women who manned RAF Beasden during World War II) and takes his teenage daughter, Alison (16-year-old Deborah Makepeace), with him.

    They are followed by two sinister characters, China Smith (Ric Young) and Larry Johnson (James Marcus).

    Alison is kidnapped, and Paul (Michael Tattersfield) – the curious 10-year-old son of the licensee – becomes involved in an unforgettable adventure.
