J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I love books written by this chap. I remember when "Brendon Chase" came on the TV when i was a nipper. The teacher at school when we were about 6 read us "the little grey men" and i thought it was very good. Anyone else like this author? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

borderterrier 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Found this on the internet:- "The original story was allegedly written by someone called 'BB' and first published in 1944 and was adapted for television by James Andrew Hall. A paperback version was published at the same time as the series was televised but the TV version has never been made available on video or DVD. " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
