Directed by Gavin Millar
Produced by Children's Film Foundation (CFF), Thames Television
A heartwarming family adventure about a father and son bonding through mischief and standing up to injustice, rooted in English countryside charm and the traditions they share.
Somewhere in England, in the Autumn of 1955, a widowed father and his son live an idyllic life together. Only their gas station happens to sit on a piece of land that a local developer wants to buy. And when he won't take no for an answer, and sets government inspectors and social works onto Danny and his father, Danny and his father decide to get even with Hazell and his pheasant- shooting friends in a manner in keeping with their own family tradition.
