Easter Matinee: Fourth Wish

on BBC Two England

Feature film starring John Neillon Robert Bettles and Robyn Nevin
When 12-year-old Sean becomes seriously ill, his father decides that his every wish will be granted. The boy will also never know how ill he is. His wishes seem quite simple - dog of his own, to see his mother, and a visit to the fairground. His father can grant three wishes, but what about the fourth? Actor Michael Craig has written an extraordinary family drama and a film which has a moving and unexpected climax when The Queen visits Australia.
Screenplay by MICHAEL CRAIG Producer JOHN MORRIS Director DON SHAFFEY
