The Admiral and his chaps are very kind but also great at looking after Kizzy. They'd been in the army so knew how to look after someone with a fever and were practical. That Cuthbert woman knows that really- she just wants to see poor Kizzy put in an orphanage.
Thinking that three men couldn't look after a little girl is so sexist. It is unbelievable in this day & age. A couple of gay men I know have now adopted three children who desperately needed home & family & are bringing them up happy, healthy & loved. Thank goodness attitudes have changed. Wish I could have been adopted. Spent my childhood repeatedly being beaten unconscious by my mother.
I remember when I was 10 when this was on TV. I had such a crush on Vanessa Furst. I can't find any information on her apart from the fact that she was in this series. I wonder whatever happened to her.
them bullies should be sent to borstal that evil cuthbert women never changes but if her daughter was sent to borstal it would ruined her reputation wipe terrilble smirk off her face
