Feather
Boy
 Adapted
from Nicky Singer's award-winning children's book, Feather Boy tells
the tale of Robert Nobel, otherwise known as Norbert No-Bottle,
a child who despairs of his newly divorced parents.
He
is the butt of classroom jokes and a victim of Niker, the classroom
bully. He is also hopelessly in love with Kate Barber.
He
is haunted by dreams that seem to tell the future as well as the
past.
His
life changes when a storyteller invites some of the class to Mayfield
House, a place that Robert has already dreamed about. There, he
meets a spiky old lady called Edith Sorrel who chooses him as her
partner in the Elders' Project.
Edith
tells him to find a place called Chance House, and it's only by
chance that Robert finds it, derelict and boarded up. He finds a
way in but discovers that this 'empty' house is not empty at all.
Robert
hears footsteps and the slamming of the door. Someone or something
is with him in Chance House.
He doesn't
know why he is there but he knows it is a journey he has to make.
The course of events that follow will change their lives forever.
Sheila
Hancock, Lindsey Coulson, Aaron Johnson and Thomas Sangster star.

Spook Squad
Spook Squad
is a thrilling new challenge show set in a haunted Scottish castle,
in which each brave young contestant must help rid the spooky residence
of its mischievous and troublesome ghosts.
Each
week, a team of three contestants sets out on a mission to discover
why a problematic ghost is roaming the ancient castle.
The
team must complete several physical and mental challenges in different
haunted rooms to gain clues to help them solve the mystery.
And
it's a race against the ghost to find which room holds the key to
solving their challenge.
No
matter what, the team will have one of the scariest nights of their
lives! (RC)
The Story Of Tracy Beaker – The
Movie Of Me
As
part of the About A Child season, Tracy Beaker is back in a special,
full-length episode, The Movie Of Me, by Mary Morris.
Twelve-year-old
Tracy has a short fuse and a wild imagination and has lived in a
care home for most of her life.
She
claims that her real mum obviously cannot come to visit her in the
care home, that Tracy has christened The Dumping Ground, because
of her glamorous career as a Hollywood actress.
But
when the fantasy becomes a reality and Mum rings the Dumping Ground
doorbell, will Tracy's dream of being reunited with her mother finally
come true?
Dani
Harmer plays Tracy, Ruth Gemmell plays Mum and Lisa Coleman plays
Cam. (JA)
The
Intergalactic Kitchen
This
new sitcom drama for eight to 12-year-olds follows the exciting
and nutty adventures of a group of human and alien children adrift
in space, in their quest to be reunited with their parents aboard
an alien spaceship.
Instead
of a straightforward camping holiday, a family is inadvertently
blasted into outer space with comical consequences.
The
family have different opinions on just about everything, and an
irascible house guest who can't stand them.
On
their space travels, they encounter the strangest, funniest and
most surreal adventure ever.
The
Intergalactic Kitchen promises to be full of fun with some surprising
extra-terrestrial experiences. (SL)
Britain's
Secret Shame – Bullying
Bullying
takes many guises and affects people of all ages and yet victims
are often afraid to speak out for fear of reprisals.
Following
the success of 91Èȱ¬ ONE Daytime's two current affairs series in 2003,
Britain's Secret Shame takes a look at the profound effect bullying
has on people across the social spectrum.
Presented
by Sally Magnusson, the series asks what steps people can take as
individuals, as parents, as friends and as colleagues to wipe out
bullying.
Throughout
the week, advice is available on how to avoid becoming a victim
and support for those affected by bullying. (JA)
