Back at Primary School, the teachers would gather kids into a room and entertain us for an hour or so with (mostly boring) movies played through an old film projector, complete with the 10, 9, 8, 7, etc countdown. I think we even watched 'Old Yeller' (which was a sappy old movie even then :cry
.
There is a film that I can recall a lot of detail from, but cannot remember the name. Google has not helped either.
It was a British film, possibly a telemovie, about three kids at an isolated farmhouse who outwitted two bad guys who tried to kidnap them. One was an older guy, the other was younger, with a shaggy haircut. The kids were left alone while their parents were away. The parents left in a Land Rover.
I remember that they drugged one of the bad guys with sleeping pills in a cup of tea, and the other was caught after a police chase, on top of a bridge. All the kids watched this film until the end, without getting restless, which meant it must have been above the usual standard.
I would have seen this in the late 70s, early 80s. Hopefully someone here remembers the film title!
