The Windermere children who escaped the holocaust in the lake district

Photo: Helen Sloan/BBC January 25, 2020 | By Jason Solomons Excerpts:

In August 1945, Britain did an extraordinary thing. Using RAF bombers that had completed their last missions, 732 Jewish refugee children, newly rescued from concentration camps such as Auschwitz and Theresienstadt, were flown from Poland to England and given a new life. Under pressure from Leonard Montefiore's newly-created Committee for the Care of Children from Concentration Camps, the government was persuaded to open up rehabilitation camps, such as one on the bucolic shores of Lake Windermere. And so, in the unlikely village of Troutbeck Bridge, on the Calgarth estate in a prefab scheme that had housed workers at the Short Sunderland aeroplane factory during the war, a remarkable story of redemption and renewal began.

The story is now told in dramatic form in the film The Windermere Children, which airs in the UK on BBC Two and on German channel ZDF at the very same time (a simulcast first in European broadcasting) to mark Holocaust Memorial Day and 75 years since the end of the Second World War. “I hadn't heard of the story either,” admits The Windermere Children scriptwriter Simon Block. “Not many people had. I was brought the story by the production company, Wall to Wall, but from then on it was about trying to get as much information about what had happened as possible and find the dramatic arc inside it.” “Fortunately, the characters involved are so strong and the emotions and trauma so powerful, the facts did not need bending to make a compelling human story. It told itself.” [...] Many of [the actual Windermere children] were at the preview screening I attended. Harry (Chaim), Ben, Arek, Ike, Harry and Bela sit in the audience, behind the young Polish actors who play them in the film, most of them making their screen debuts. The film's more recognisable talents are there, too: Romola Garai, Iain Glen and Tim McInnerny, fine actors who all acknowledge with humility that the real stars present are the survivors. [...] At the screening, Iain Glen was greeted by the young Polish actors with hugs and high fives, like a favourite coach or even relative being welcomed after a long gap. He plays a gruff Scottish PE teacher based on the real-life Jock Lawrence, enlisted to give the kids some physical therapy through exercise, football and swimming in the lake. “Jock was enlisted for physical therapy even though I don't think he knew too much about the science of it all and he certainly was not prepared for the level of trauma he encountered,” he says. “But he could see the positive effect of getting them outdoors in the fresh air.” One of the children under Jock's charge was Ben Helfgott, who went on to become an weightlifter for Great Britain at two Olympic games. “It's a redemptive story in the end,” remarks Glen. “These survivors are testament to the programme there and show that life may not forget but it can recover and rebuild.” [...] Given one of The Windermere Children's most moving scenes involves a family reunion, it's a poignancy not lost on the film's creators. Says writer Simon Block: "That storyline is absolutely true - you couldn't possibly make something like that up - but sadly something like that is now impossible according to UK law.” "It shows this isn't just a historical drama but very much part of our present. It's a picture of when Britain did something great and was enriched because of it, and hopefully it can be a reminder that we can still do the right thing again.” The last word on The Windermere Children practically speaks for itself. At the screening, survivor Harry Spiro stood up carefully, shaking slightly on his feet but his voice was strong and clear. “I was the only one from my family who survived the Holocaust. I lost everyone, I had nothing. I had no home, no family.” “But I was a Windermere boy and now 70 years later I have a wife, three children, nine grandchildren and great grandchildren. I never, ever thought back then I would have a family, but I got a whole new life here and lots of other lives came from that. So I say: no, Hitler you did not win but look at me, I got my life and my family…”

8DPromo · Jon Lee - Walk On By (Pelvic Movements)

The launch of Pelvic Movements, a brand new house music imprint from veteran DJ and producer Scottie Soul, is heralded in a grand and funky fashion. The new label enlists Jon Lee (Titled Records) to lend his keen dancefloor sensibility with his top-notch track titled "Walk On By." The cut is propelled by a club-primed rhythm track and an infectious female vocal hook. Layers of tech-house-inspired synth work giveaway to a dramatic acid-tinged breakdown. Deep Fix Recordings' Col Lawton delivers the first of three remixes, adding a tight deep house flavor with subtle tribal percussion suitable for late-night deployment. Denver's Dan Laino provides a chunky rework, drawing lovingly upon the melodic Chicago deep house sounds of the '90s. The single closes with a mix by Scottie Soul under his Z-Sharp Minor moniker, collaborating with Simy Garay. This one lowers the pulse of the main track for a killer downtempo version complete with tough beats, scratch fills, and tripped-out effects galore. The downtempo B-side is a planned staple of the Pelvic Movements, something to look forward to in the label's future releases.

Tony H (Late Night Munchies) – “That Dan Laino remix is a vibe.” Richie Hartness (UM) – “The man does it again!” Lee Jones (Buslife) – “This is an exceptional project. I love all the mixes and will play them as soon as I can.” Tokita (Kolour Recordings) – “Killer vibes on the original mix. Nice one!” DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing) – “Nice variety here. And a great start to the new label.” Dr. Best (Radio Z, Nuremberg) – “The remixes by Dan Laino and Col Lawton are for me.”

Available Now From Traxsource: Traxsource, Beatport, Apple Music, And Spotify.

Q&A Windermere Children: BBC marks Holocaust Memorial Day and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau

Iain Glen alongside creative partners.... The made-for-tv feature will be broadcasted in the UK and Germany January 27 2020.... Frankly it moves me (and does not surprise me) to see IG being part of this large scale commemorative event.

https://www.pressparty.com/pg/newsdesk/BBC1/view/201152/

BBC marks Holocaust Memorial Day and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau

The BBC is marking Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January 2020) and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau with a special televised Holocaust Memorial Day event, as well as a range of content across TV and radio.

The BBC is producing the national Holocaust Memorial Day event on behalf of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust with the theme of Stand Together.

Other programme highlights include a major new drama telling the story of the Windermere Children, child survivors of the Nazi Holocaust; Robert Rinder helping second and third generations of families who experienced the Holocaust retrace their relatives’ footstep; David Baddiel investigating the history and modern face of Holocaust denial; a moving documentary exploring the untold story of the infamous Bergen-Belsen concentration camp; a special edition of Words And Music on BBC Radio 3.

Tony Hall, Director-General of the BBC, says: "This is an important moment to stop and reflect on a period in our history which showed both the worst, and the best, of the human spirit. That's why we've invested in drama, documentary and events to mark the 75th anniversary. We'll be telling new stories, as well as sharing first-hand testimonies from those who lived through the horror of the concentration camps.

"It's our responsibility as the nation's public service broadcaster to bring these stories to new generations - and I'd like to thank the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, and our European media partners, for their invaluable support. Together, we're offering everyone the chance to reflect on the consequences of prejudice and hatred, and in doing so we'll ensure that the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust are not forgotten."

Olivia Marks-Woldman, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, says: "We are delighted to be working with the BBC to enable millions of people across the country to learn more about the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and more recent genocides through the broadcast of the national ceremony for Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), as well as additional factual programming.

"At a time when identity-based prejudice and hostility is worryingly prevalent in the UK and internationally, HMD is an opportunity to learn about the consequences of hatred when it is allowed to exist unchecked. At this important moment, 75 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, we are asking people to Stand Together against prejudice, and in memory of those who were murdered during the Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution and in genocides which have taken place since."

UK Ceremony for Holocaust Memorial Day The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust’s annual event honours survivors of the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution, and the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. The Ceremony will be broadcast on Holocaust Memorial Day itself, 27 January 2020, and will be a particularly significant event due to notable anniversaries - marking 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the 25th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia. The ceremony is the focal point of Holocaust Memorial Day in the UK. This year, it will focus on the theme Stand Together, with the Ceremony including readings, poetry, music and testimony from survivors of the Holocaust and genocide.

My Family, The Holocaust and Me (BBC One) In this moving new two-part series, Robert Rinder helps second and third generations of families who experienced the Holocaust to retrace their relatives’ footsteps and discover the full truth about what happened to them. Robert also explores further his own family’s Holocaust stories, on both his mum’s and his dad’s sides.

This series reveals what it means to be the children and grandchildren of Holocaust victims and survivors. Robert meets three different British Jewish families who have been affected by the Holocaust: a man who wants to know what happened to his German grandparents and uncle; two sisters who investigate their grandmother’s role in the Dutch resistance and the fate of her sister; and a daughter who knows her mother was arrested as a child by the Nazis as she tried to flee France.

Robert also embarks on his own journeys of discovery. To find out what happened to his paternal family, he travels to Lithuania and hears a harrowing eye-witness account. Robert also travels with his mother Angela to Treblinka, to meet the last remaining survivor of the former Nazi death camp and to commemorate his great-grandfather and his family.

The Windermere Children (BBC Two) August, 1945. A coachload of children arrive at the Calgarth Estate by Lake Windermere, England. They are child survivors of the Nazi Holocaust that has devastated Europe’s Jewish population. Carrying only the clothes they wear and a few meagre possessions, they bear the emotional and physical scars of all they have suffered.

From Bafta-nominated screenwriter Simon Block and Bafta and Emmy-winning director Michael Samuels, The Windermere Children is the first dramatisation of a remarkable true story about hope in the aftermath of the Holocaust, based on the powerful first-person testimony of survivors who began their new lives in the UK.

The drama is led by a stellar cast including Thomas Kretschmann (The Pianist), Romola Garai (The Miniaturist), Tim McInnerny (Strangers) and Iain Glen (Game Of Thrones).

Charged with looking after the children is child psychologist Oscar Friedmann (Kretschmann). Along with his team of counsellors, including art therapist Marie Paneth (Garai), philanthropist Leonard Montefiore (McInnerny) and sports coach Jock Lawrence (Glen), they have four months to help the children reclaim their lives.

By the lake, the children learn English, play football, ride bikes, express their trauma through painting – and begin to heal. some locals taunt them, but they are embraced by others. Haunted by nightmares, they yearn for news of their loved ones. When the red cross arrives with letters about the fates of their families, none of them receive good news. But in the absence of relatives, the children find family in each other.

The Windermere Children is the stark, moving and ultimately redemptive story of the bonds the children make with one another, and of how the friendships forged at Windermere sustain them as they rebuild their lives in the UK.

Confronting Holocaust Denial with David Baddiel (BBC Two) The Holocaust is one of the most documented, witnessed and written about events in history, so why is Holocaust denial back on the political agenda? What has happened in the 75 years since the liberation of the camps to have so skewed the picture? And, if it matters, why does it matter?

In this timely and important film, Holocaust Denial: A History With David Baddiel (w/t), for BBC Two, David (pictured, top of page) investigates the history and modern face of Holocaust denial. He talks to academics and historians to trace how denial has evolved since the end of the Second World War and try to discover how and why people are still denying the Holocaust today.

Over the course of the film David encounters people who cause him to question deep-rooted opinions, others who lend extra weight to beliefs he’s grown up with from childhood - and some he really would rather not meet at all. He broaches taboos and finds himself in often uncomfortable situations. At the heart of the film are his attempts to answer some fundamental questions: why does a desire to deny the events of the Holocaust even exist? Why is it growing? What does it tell us about anti-Semitism? Is there a version of Holocaust Denial that is becoming respectable? And how can we best counter these ideas?

Finally he emerges with a new perspective on an issue that goes beyond the events of the Holocaust, and sheds light on a very 21st century malaise - the denial of historical fact. For many, even to explore the phenomenon of Holocaust Denial is to unlock a box marked 'do not open'. But this film suggests that exploring this archetype of lies, conspiracy theory and fake news could deepen our understanding of our post-truth world.

Belsen: Our Story (BBC Two) Belsen: Our Story is a one-hour documentary film telling the untold story of the infamous Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where over 50,000 people, mostly Jews, died primarily from starvation and disease in the last phase of World War II.

As the Allied troops advanced into Germany through the winter of 1944, thousands of Jewish prisoners were evacuated from camps near the Eastern front, mostly through brutal forced marches. Bergen-Belsen’s population increased eight-fold to nearly 60,000. But unlike the infamous extermination or death camps such as Auschwitz or Treblinka, Belsen wasn’t designed as a place of killing. It had no gas chambers. Instead, the prisoners were slaughtered by systematic neglect - many starved to death, others succumbed to typhus, tuberculosis, typhoid fever or dysentery, diseases which ravaged the camp, fostered by the lack of clean drinking water and minimal sanitation.

All that remains of Belsen today is a peaceful, grassy meadow, but it’s legacy lives on through the recollections of those who survived it. Belsen: Our Story is their story. Featuring powerful new interviews with some of the last remaining survivors of the Holocaust and dramatic reconstructions, it also includes archive of the British liberation. Those liberators recount the moment they stumbled into the horror of Belsen, the piles of unburied bodies, the epidemics of disease, such the British army felt they had no choice but to burn Bergen Belsen to the ground - inadvertently reducing much of the evidence of the Nazis crimes to ashes. The oral histories of Belsen: Our Story ensures that story is not forgotten.

The Windermere Children: In Their Own Words (BBC Four) The Windermere Children: In Their Own Wordstells the story of the pioneering project to rehabilitate child survivors of the Holocaust on the shores of Lake Windermere.

In the year that marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Holocaust, this powerful documentary reveals a little-known story of 300 young orphaned Jewish refugees who began new lives in England’s Lake District in the summer of 1945. The documentary accompanies the BBC Two drama, The Windermere Children.

With compelling first-hand testimony from some of the last living Holocaust survivors, this film explores an extraordinary success story that emerged from the darkest of times, all beginning with the arrival of ten Stirling bombers carrying the 300 children from Prague to Carlisle on 14 August 1945.

The survivor interviews include extraordinary first-hand accounts of both their wartime experiences, separation from families and the horrors they experienced, but also their wonder at arriving in Britain and their lives thereafter.

With powerful contemporary resonance, the film will reveal that many of the 300 who arrived as bewildered young refugees without a word of English or many possessions, and went on to forge successful lives in Britain, starting families of their own and giving back to the country that welcomed them in extraordinary ways.

Words and Music: Commemorating The Liberation Of Auschwitz Sunday 26 January, 5.30pm-6.45pm

BBC Radio 3

Radio 3’s weekly journey of discovery weaving together a range of music with poetry and prose read by leading actors.

In this special edition of Words And Music, marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, readers Henry Goodman and Maria Friedman read poetry and prose about life and death at the most notorious Nazi concentration camp and what the moment of liberation was like when the Russian soldiers arrived 75 years ago.

We'll hear from survivors like Primo Levi and Victor Frankl, who paint vivid pictures of life at Auschwitz and from Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who played the cello in the Auschwitz Women's Orchestra. She once played Schumann's Träumerei for Dr Josef Mengele, who came to be known as 'the angel of death'.

Music was a major part of concentration-camp life, we'll hear about the fate of Auschwitz's Roma Orchestra and the unexpected presence of Tango at Auschwitz. You'll hear an early recording of the first song to be written in a concentration camp, the Peat Bog Soldiers, and some of the Yiddish tangos popular at the time. There will also be songs by Ilse Weber, who wrote music for the children of the Theresienstadt camp, and sang to those walking to their deaths in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.

Poetry by survivors András Mezei and Annette Blialik Harchik reminds us that liberation was the end of a hellish journey, but living with the aftermath of the holocaust was a burden which would be carried long after the camps were destroyed.

Name 7 comfort films and tag 7 people.

I was tagged by @szonklin. 💚 Thank you, it was fun again, but as you might used to it, I cheated again a little bit. 😋 However, I'm trying to say myself, what you commented last time under my post, that it's not cheating if ai double the effort. 😀

I had to realize, that mostly, when I need a comfort film, I'm turning to shows more than just one movie. Also... Comfort films... Gosh, I have different for different moods. Yet, I was able to made a kind of list.

Films

1. Salamon Fishing in the Yemen (2011)

It's one of my favourite rom-com, I've to admit. I don't know why, I'm aware, that it is nothing special, but I like Ewan McGregor, I love Scotland, and somehow it just works for me. Definietly made me feel better every time I watch it.)

2. Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

I could've list all works of Hayao Miyazaki, bc he creats wonderful, breathtaking worlds, lovely characters, and amazing stories for everyone. I stick with Howl though, bc if I've to choose, this piece is my 'comforting' one. Actually, I think this adaptation of Diana Wynn Jones's book is better than the book itself. It's rare. 😉

3. Hot Fuzz (2007)

I can't help on myself, I love the typical british humor of this movie, I love how sensible that the actors enjoyed their work, and like Simon Pegg. This is my favourite piece from The Cornetto Triology, and when I need a good laugh, I often choose this piece to watch.

4. Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

Good, beautifully composed actions and great music. Fantastic actors. Colin Firth. 😋 And Colin Firth doing THAT scan. This film might be violent sometimes, but it's just brilliant: it has speed, it's fun to watch, and it totally switch out my overused brain.

5. The handmaiden (2016)

The story. The directing. The beautifully composed scenes. The perfect cinematography. The colours. The actors. The music. Everything. Is. Just. Perfect. Yeah, yeah, it's not an easy film, I've to admit. But it's so beautiful it hurts.

6. Mary and the Witch's Flower (2017)

I just simply like this tale. It's not perfect, but with all the colours and creativity it's a little bit magic for me.

7. Eagle (2011)

As for it's theme, it's definietly not a classical comfort movie choice, but somehow I love this film. Mostly bc the acting of Jamie Bell, and bc of their chemistry with Channing Tatum.

TV Shows / Multiple chaptered movies

1. How to Train Your Dragon series

I can't choose just one part, I love the whole series. It's a story which I want to show my kids, bc they can have fun while they learn something great.

2. Gravity Falls

This is My Ultimate Feelgood Favourite Show, when I have bad days, I always choose this. Bc it's creative, adventuoros, myctical, fun, I love the characters... You can search for easter eggs, and search and solve mysterious hinta... it's literally for everyone. I've seen both seasons for like dozens of times, but it never gets old, while it makes me feel good. It's like going back to the best parts of my childhood.

3. The Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3

Oh well...pirates, advantures, actions, great Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt tunes. Great fun to watch.

4. Anne (1985)

There are 6 episodes of this tv series version of Anne from Green Gables, it's my childhood.

5. The Dresden Files series (2007)

Oh well... It's cheap and nothing like the books. Yet, somehow I enjoy to watch it, when I wish for something easy and magical and sarcastic. (Actually, I like the books very much.)

6. Jane Eyre (2006)

This version with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens is one of my favourite book adaptation of all time. Which is funny, bc Jane Eyre is not among my favourite books, but this version just catches so perfectly both characters, not idealizing them, or make the whole story more romantical than it is (which is not romantic at all), and the actors are great in their rolls, that I choose this often to switch off my racing mind. I can't explain it why.

7. Emma (2009)

Romola Garai and Johnny Lee-Miller. I've nothing else to say. 😂

Sooo, yeah, I'm tagging: @benaya-trash @thewitch-went-to-bournemouth @nosetothewind94 @yourbestmate

TV: How child survivors of Nazis rebuilt their lives in Britain

Tim McInnerny and Iain Glen star in The Windermere Children - a dramatisation of a remarkable true story about hope in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Photo by Thomas Kretschmann BBC January 24, 2020 | By Gemma Dunn Article (everything under read more because of length):

Silence falls as the credits to The Windermere Children roll - actors and audience moved in equal measure. From screenwriter Simon Block and director Michael Samuels, the BBC Two drama tells the remarkable - and often unknown - true story of a group of young Holocaust survivors who were brought to the Calgarth Estate by Lake Windermere for a new life in the UK. With only the clothes on their back and carrying a few meagre possessions, the children bear the scars of all they have suffered at the hands of the Nazis, a regime that devastated Europe's Jewish population. And today's praise is more pertinent than ever due to the fact the crowd is dotted with the now-elderly survivors whose very stories inspired this tale. “The film was very well made and very realistic - it made me weep from time to time,” says Arek Hersh, MBE, the first survivor to stand up. “It was true story. This actually happened. You made a very good thing.” “On behalf of the survivors, I want to thank each and every one who has been involved in this project,” mirrors Ike Alterman, who, like Hersh, was one of 300 children taken by coach to the Lake District in August 1945. Commissioned by the BBC, the moving epic makes up a range of content put on to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27 - and crucially the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. “Precisely how many more times will this group of people [survivors] come together in a public venue and speak together?” muses Strangers actor Tim McInnerny, 63, in a chat afterwards. “I was thinking this while we were sitting on the stage and they were in the audience, which by the way seemed like the wrong way around. It was odd.” He follows: “Listening to the survivors talk is overwhelming. I just feel very grateful; it's one of those jobs that you just feel is important and I'm glad to be a part of it in some small way.” “Not all the work that we do - if we're all honest - is as valuable, so you really appreciate when you're given the chance to do something like this,” echoes his co-star, Iain Glen, 58. “If the (survivors) are saying, which they seem to be, that they really approve of what the filmmakers made, well what more could you possibly ask for as an actor, as a director?” asks the Game of Thrones actor. “If they think it's OK, well nothing else really matters. It's a privilege.” Based on powerful first-person testimony, the one-off film follows the children as they learn English, play football, ride bikes and forge friendships. All the while haunted by nightmares and yearning for news of their loved ones. The roles of the children themselves are played by young European actors selected from Polish communities in Germany, London, Manchester and Belfast, as well as from Warsaw. While charged with looking after the youngsters is child psychologist Oscar Friedmann (Thomas Kretschmann); along with art therapist Marie Paneth (Romola Garai), philanthropist Leonard Montefiore (McInnerny) and sports coach Jock Lawrence (Glen), who have just four months to help them reclaim their lives. “Jock Lawrence was a real character - he was a retired PE teacher who was in the locale and offered to come and help when they were looking for sports therapy,” explains Glen. “Just being outside, being active in beautiful surroundings was really vital to a lot of their recovery and speeded it,” he insists. “The testimony was that he was well loved.” As for Leonard: “He went over right at the end of the war to see these children because it wasn't just the awful conditions under which they'd lived, but there was nowhere for them to go”, McInnerny says. “Something had to be done and Leonard is the kind of guy who fights until those things happen,” he recalls. “It's humbling to play somebody like that who fights so hard on behalf of others and dedicates their life to it.” Could they put themselves in the shoes of their characters - or the survivors? “It sounds almost slightly cynical, but in a way you have to forget about that,” claims McInnerny. “You have to forget that it's real in a way, because otherwise it's just too much to bear; it becomes about responsibility and that emotional weight becomes very hard to carry.” “That's right,” agrees Glen. “The problem with the holocaust, generally, is it has an incomprehensibility about it for those who had no direct contact with the future generations. It's documentary footage, of which there is a lot, but how do you find a new way of telling it?” “It's easy to get lost in despair and it would have been very tempting to go into archive footage, but they found a story and they told it in a very effective way.” As for the trauma: “We're never going to understand - that's what's so moving about hearing (the survivors),” Glen notes. “They're alive and they went on to do such extraordinary things. And they're incredibly grateful to the UK for providing a safe haven for them.” He follows: “Without getting too political, for me it resonates.” “We seem to be at a time, globally, where those that have, have a sense of keeping those that have not away, because there's a sense that their nationality, their strength is going to be weakened.” “It's a reminder of the transformative effect it can have, if you welcome people who are suffering and give them love, give them opportunity and give them hope,” he attests. “I hope this helps readdress any balance there may be (as to) whether we shouldn't be accepting refugees into this country anymore,” concurs McInnerny. “Because that's what's built this country, absolutely!” And unlike many shows that tackle the subject, it's ultimately redemptive. “This is about people who survived, as opposed to a reminder of all of those that didn't,” Glen reasons. “And I think that's what enticed (the production company) Wall to Wall and the filmmakers to take this on.” “I won't forget it,” confides McInnerny. “You hope that as an actor you do something that resonates, that makes a difference, but being there and seeing people who have been through the most awful experience, and for you to have to depict that and for them to have given you the thumbs up...” “Well it's an extraordinary experience,” he finishes. “I don't see how you could possibly forget it.” The Windermere Children, BBC Two, 9pm, Monday.
