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