The Inn of The Sixth Happiness is on today, on BBC2 at 6.30pm.
I remember this film from when I was very little...not an awful lot, but it's one of those classic true stories about a nun who is a mssionary in China and escorts all those children to safety in WW2.
Might not be able to watch it, but will definitely record it :lol:

I particularly remember that film because all the little Chinese children were recruited from Chinatown in Liverpool (listen out for the scouse/Chinese accents when they sing Knick Knack Paddywack) and it was filmed up in Snowdonia - somewhere that I love.
The film is good but the book is better. All about Gladys Ailwood (not sure of spelling) who was determined to become a missionary in China.
Thanks for the heads up Tri :)
