Dramatisation of E Nesbit's children's novel. The children are stranded on the church tower - the wings the Psammead had granted them have vanished. They shout for help.

In 1902, four children and their baby brother are spending their summer in the countryside while their parents are away. While playing in a nearby sand pit, the children discover 'It', which turns out to be a Psammead, or sand fairy, thousands of years old and with the power to grant wishes.

The children are stranded on the church tower - the wings the Psammead had granted them have vanished, and all they can do is shout for help.
