Childhood's End
Episode 1 of 5
Period drama series. Joyce, Nancy, Annie and Bea join the Women's Land Army. Bea becomes enthralled by a charming GI, while Nancy tries to get closer to Lord Hoxley.
Four girls have different reasons for joining the Women's Land Army: patriotic Joyce wants to 'do her bit', argumentative Nancy is there under sufferance, and sensible Annie joined so that her younger sister Bea could escape an abusive father.
Bea rebels from her sister's control and finds herself enthralled by a charming GI, Cal Gillespie, while at the dance Nancy tries to get closer to Lord Hoxley.
