The Gift

Saw this in 1990 on ABC TV in Australia. I was hooked by the boy's powers, loyalty shown by his friend Sonia (a very young but totally convincing Jodhi May, 2 years before _Last of the Mohicans_) & the silent menace of Wolf (Gary Whelan), who pursues them.

At only six 25 minute episodes, it was typical of Brit TV drama of the time, but told an effective story with real tension & no sense of predictability or a comfortable outcome.

I remember seeing this on the telly when I was a child. This is what I found a very gripping, exciting, partially scary TV series. It was about Davy Price, who finds out that he has this gift, hence the title. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it made him see things. Things that affected the people near him. This of course made him different. People didn't understand him or didn't want to. His parents, his sis (?) and he go to a place in the country to try and make things better and to keep him safe. I remember that there were people after him, because he knew something. I don't know how it ended, but I do know that this series left quite an impression on me then. It was a dramatic series.

Love to see this again!
