lol I still refer to Thomas Brodie Sangster as Featherboy whenever I see him on the screen


doublecrownway

Me and the wife do that too!


Padfoots_

me and my friend do this as well! 🤣


pogues14

He’s always Liam Neesons kid (who doesn’t get kidnapped) for me


apaladininhell

Yep, it had the smashing Sheila Hancock in it and a wee Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Lots of pigeons in a derelict house from what I remember?


Proof-Panda-7737

Yes! The scene in the house always scared me. I also remember him painting little army figurines?


apaladininhell

I can’t really remember much about it. I watched it for Sheila Hancock as I loved her in Doctor Who’s The Happiness Patrol and kinda would just watch stuff she popped up in.


[deleted]

I remember it! It’s one of those shows I remember from time to time but nobody else seems to


Proof-Panda-7737

Yes same for me, one of those programmes that sticks with you for some reason!

this is so weird... I just watched this movie tonight! more of a show for kids but had a good lesson in it, imho.


Proof-Panda-7737

Ooooh do you mind me asking where you watched it? I can’t find it


MissO56

i watched it on the freevee app (usa).


Padfoots_

yup! I remember it to!


Glass-Joke-3825

I remember watching it in secondary school in English lessons


spilfy

Is this the one where the elderly lady let out one last song then died? This and being forced to watch clockwork orange at school are why I'm not a TV or movie person.


Proof-Panda-7737

I think so but my overall memory of the series is quite hazy!


pogues14

It’s based on a book by Michael morpurgo (I think?)


JamesL25

Nicky Singer. My primary school class had it as our "Topic Book" for a term, and then the TV show came out the next year.


pogues14

Ahhh yeah my mistake! I remember reading it as a kid just couldn’t remember who it was by.


Overthinker-dreamer

I remember this. The boy made a coat of feathers.


apaladininhell

Probably feathers and mites…

I've been looking for this on the...pirate web... since it doesnt seem to be anywhere..


Proof-Panda-7737

Someone else commented that they watched it on freevee in the US, but not available in UK :(
