Children of Fire Mountain - Tom (First Episode)

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1979

...I'm nobody's boy, and she'd better learn that for a start. What have I done to deserve all this — I’ve had better days at school!

– Tom (Paul Airey) reflects on the annoying new English visitors

– Governess Charlotte Proctor (Maggie Maxwell) reacts to the thermal sights

God forsaken country. Trains without compartments. I thought these New Zealanders were supposed to be civilised.

– Sir Charles Pemberton (Terence Cooper) is annoyed when the train strikes a problem

– Sir Charles Pemberton (Terence Cooper)

A bunch of savages stopped the train and nearly butchered the lot of us. I thought the wars were supposed to be over here.

– Sir Charles Pemberton (Terence Cooper) provides his version of why the train was late

This is an awful place — just awful!
