The Letty Bootlace Agency!

My memories of this are faint. I remember that Letty was in a wheelchair and that she lived in a children's' home of some description. At some point in the show, Letty and some other kids form a group of private detectives called "The Letty Bootlace Agency" (a play on Eddie Shoestring which was a popular show at the time, starring Trevor Eve.) Much in a similar vein to the Famous Five, they would solve a new mystery every week. I definitely enjoyed it as a thirteen year old.

My main reason for coming to this page was that I recently watched Threads on Google video and remembered that the girl who played Ruth's daughter was also Letty. I was sad to see that she'd died in a car accident in 1990.

Trivia
Writer Avril Rowlands based the character of Letty on a close friend whom she found to be "an inspirational person with a zest for life and a refusal to allow her disability to get in the way of what she wants to achieve."
