Sinopsis:
Neville and Danny live happily in a two-up two-down in Manchester in 1939 with their mother, father and grandmother and they all just happen to be Jewish. In World War II they are evacuated to Blackpool with their school and find themselves under the ’care’ of Mrs Graham and her unobtrusive husband. She is a childless possessive control freak who soon has the boys cleaning the house from top to bottom every day while also feeding them pork sausages for dinner, to their visible repugnance. She practises what she considers to be »tough love« and, for the sake of their mother’s peace of mind, Neville the older brother conceals their misery. After almost a year, Danny finally breaks their silence during one of their mother’s monthly visits. The boys return home with their mother, to Mistress Graham’s disgust, and they face the air raids as a united and loving family.
Directed by Alan Parker, the semi-autobiographical »The Evacuees« was Rosenthal’s first drama for the BBC and follows the story of two young Jewish boys uprooted from Manchester during the Second World War and sent to live in Blackpool. The pair faces the trauma of being away from home and being attacked by gangs of kids because they are different.
After a comically doomed attempt to escape on rollerskates, the brothers finally get the chance to tell all to their mother in the form of a story when she comes to visit. With its brilliantly judged mix of humour and pathos, »The Evacuees« remains one of the most popular dramas produced by the BBC in the ’70s.
