What a lot of memories this programme bought to my other half, he was evacuated to Devon from London in 1941 just 5 years old along with his 3 elder sisters.
He cannot remember much about it thou, all he remembers is seeing the sea for the first time.
They were separated he went with the younger sister, the other 2 sisters who were aged 8 and 10 had a terrible time they used to be locked in the basement of the house at night and were only let out in the morning .

I am such a plonker..I put a post up about this the other day to tell anyone who was interested.... and then forgot to watch it myself.

but it was on at 5

oh poo, i missed it,i thought it was on at 9pm

i cant wait to watch the next one

very moving must have been scary

as somone who moved practically next door to my parents when i left home i cant imagine beign a child taken miles away when younger

Just watched it very good, as we have read about them in books etc, its nice to see some of them who went.

My mum told me about when she was sent away. Pity she wasnt still here to see it as she would have liked listening to it.

But sadly so sad story have come out, again read it in books etc.

Pity its only on for 5 days. Hope there is more of them in the new year

it is very emotional stories
3 million children had to be evacuated :(

I am watching it with tears streaming down my face as my "Dad" was sent to Devon ~he run away from there~ lied and went into the Army.
