Dir: Jim Clark
Starring: William Burleigh and Kate Nicholls

Now an outpatient, a young boy promises to obtain a Christmas tree for all his friends who are spending the festive season in hospital

ThisĀ Children’s Film Foundation family tale features some early scenes filmed at Felixstowe Town station. As the scene centres around the parcels office, no trains feature, but some very interesting period railway advertisements, route maps, and timetables are on the walls of the building in the opening shot.
