## Synopsis

Break in the Sun is a British television drama serial created and written by Bernard Ashley. The six-part series stars Nicola Cowper as a young girl named Patsy Bligh, who runs away from her violent stepfather and tries to return to her mother's old home in Margate.

Notably grittier and more controversial than standard BBC children's serial fare up until that time, it was well received by critics and audiences.
