High Hopes

on BBC One London

A film about children who want to perform and the parents who encourage them.
At the London audition for the screen musical Annie, 2,000 little girls turned up. One was 11-year-old MARSHA ANNE BLAND, Whose dream is 'to share the stage with Frank Sinatra. '
The five-year-old Haley twins are in a new spy film. They call acting 'pretend.' But 15-year-old DEXTER FLETCHER is an old hand-Baby Face in Bugsy Malone , Puck at Glyndebourne.
THE SINGERS are named after their parents' boarding-house in Margate. They made a record called Ginger Tom and perform it in unusual places ...
The rewards are glamour, fame, perhaps even Hollywood. Will all their dreams come true? Or are they just High Hopes?
