About Brock's Mill
Forty years ago, Bluebell Studios was the heartbeat of a nation’s childhood. From the home workshop, Bernard brought iconic children’s television to life, frame by careful frame with his own two hands. His wife would sew the costumes, whilst their daughter May played out in the sunshine.
Now Bernard is retired, and his workshop has become a capsule of times gone by, with shelves stuffed with old scripts, dusty books, and models. Now he finds himself confronted with reality; the past will have to be unpacked. His daughter is now all grown up, and a reckoning is coming.
