Although the action takes place in Wales only Dudley Sutton (feignedly) and one of the policemen actually speak with a Welsh accent.

Where are the Welsh?

A young boy argues with his father and hides in a nearby slate mine, but when he returns to his village, all the Welsh people have mysteriously disappeared, replaced by men with posh English accents. 40 years ahead of its time in this respect.

Lovely views of a 1970s Trawsfynydd nuclear power station, plonked in the middle of the Welsh countryside.

Interesting to see how little of wilder North Wales has changed, so at least they didn't travel all that way to film for nothing.

Generally not one of the better Children' Film Foundation efforts, but at least the scenery is easier on the eyes than the usual near-slum back streets of London seen in some of these films.
