London couple Jill (Wendy Richard) and Peter (Martyn Townsend) move to a large country house for a fresh start after the death of their young son, David (Vincent Helyar). Their attempts to put the tragedy behind them are stymied when their surviving child, Belinda (Charlotte Helyar), keeps insisting that she sees and plays with her brother. While it irritates the rational Peter, her distraught mother begins to believe her and starts to wonder if there is something more sinister at the root of it all...

This was the first episode of the 2nd series of West Country Tales and unlike the first series was based on stories by novelists. And unlike the first series, only 3 episodes survive of the 2nd series, the other four being missing. These I was fortunate enough to save from Mick's Nostalgia Channel on Youtube before they disappeared, so you have him to thank for these. The last two available of the 2nd series from 1983 will hopefully be uploaded tomorrow.
