BERTIE
St. Cuthbert Films (Newcastle-on-Tyne)
Young Bertie (Mark Friend) is near the end of his stay with the Radcliffe
family on a large country estate in the north of England. Bertie meets pretty
little Elizabeth (Clare Hodgkinson) who is staying nearby. Also, he tries
to persuade Thomas Radcliffe (Jonathan Swales), a lad of his own age, to
take him on an adventurous trip to High Force Falls. This would mean an overnight
stay on the moor, and Thomas knows that it would also mean a thrashing from
his father (Ron Edwardson) when they got back. . . An original story and
screenplay by David Peffer using real-life characters, confirmed by the end-title
montage of still pictures. Production led by Andrew Lane; advisor: Frank
Hodges.

Richard Lewendon (Cirencester)
A puppetoon produced by Pandora Pollen and evocatively photographed by Paul

to ski. Despite being April, it is still very, very cold and there is no

sealed up in a cave by the wicked Winter. Can the courage of the children,
aided by the magic of an old saint from a far-off land, save the world from
the poisonous clouds that obscure the life-giving sunshine?
