Special Branch: The Children of Delight (ITV 5 Nov 1969, with Sheila Fearn)

Published

on


Special Branch are asked to investigate a strange cult like organisation called The Children of Delight – Detective Sergeant Sarah Gifford is sent undercover to join the group.

Meanwhile Helen Webb tries to help Mrs Cole whose son Jimmy is also a member of the cult.

MI5 man Charles Moxon, who is still giving Eden a hard time over his mishandling of the Troika affair, is convinced that there is something politically subversive about the group.

There are some excellent guest stars popping up too including Sheila Fearn as undercover cop Sarah and Dad’s Army stalwart Arnold Ridley who is a member of the cult forced to do menial work because of some unspecified misdemeanour.
