Field of Fish

Synopsis

Tom Maynard (narrated by Ian Holm) reflects back on his childhood memory as leader of the Witchey Eye gang - they kept an eye on the village - but when the eccentric Mr Jeremiah Joliff, a reclusive fisherman who had never left his boat since it was laid up in a field overlooking the sea, returns from 'a rest up in Bodmin', curiosity gets the better of them and they embark on an adventure that none of them have ever forgotten.
