We'll call this a joint emuler/loverboy release.

A pretty daft & preposterous plot but more than made up for with 'never heard of before or since' child actress Della Low. Something pushed all the right buttons for me, maybe her beautiful look of innocence or that soft accent. I really don't know but she is truly delightful!
Directed by the acclaimed Waris Hussein (The Possession of Joel Delaney) and written by John Bowen (Hetty Wainthrop Investigates), Rachel in Danger is a four-part drama. Rachel (Della Low) is a ten-year-old girl from a broken home who travels from Scotland to London to stay with the father she last saw when she was just two years old. But her father, Peter (Neville Jason) has been murdered by Juan (Stephen Greif) and when she arrives in London, there is nobody to meet her.
She is befriended by a WPC (Gwyneth Powell) and when Juan turns up at the station claiming to be her father, Rachel has no reason to believe he is not who he says he is. But then she has yet to discover the body in the cupboard…
The man posing as Rachel's father introduces the girl to a woman called Aiyako (Eiko Nakamura) he says is his wife. But they are actually part of an international terrorist group that is planning to assassinate a member of the Royal Family and the plucky little girl is caught right in the middle of a highly-dangerous situation. Can she lull the imposter into a false sense of security by pretending she still believes he is her father? And to whom can she turn for help when the going gets tough?

Cute, thanks emuler and loverboy.

The look on the old lady's face when Rachel said "I don't eat the flesh of animals" was great. :)
