The First Lady: Yes, But Who Am I?

on BBC One London

by N.J. Crisp
Starring Thora Hird, Robert Keegan, James Grout and Henry Knowles

The position of foster-parents is not an enviable one. Sometimes the child may be left with them for years, and brought up as one of their own, before being removed from their care. In this situation is it any use authority telling them not to get too attached to the child? Can you bring up a child without regarding it as your own, and should you? When Ken Buckley's mother wants to reclaim him, his foster-parents counter with every means in their power. A row develops which even extends to the Welfare Committee, headed by Sarah Danby. But this boy is old enough to choose for himself. Which set of 'parents' will he choose?
