Overview
The title of this BBC children’s drama referred to five children – Sid (Martin Skinner), Fred (Martin Ratcliffe), Algy (John Gugolka), Rosie (Helen Worth) and Clio (Juliet Marshall), otherwise known as the Cemetery Committee. The five had proven their bravery by risking their lives hurtling down Death Wall – an area of an old racetrack where many drivers were killed – on pram wheels. When a robbery takes place, the beliefs of the children are brought into question. To regain the stolen money they too must behave like thieves.
