A Childrens Film Foundation presentation based on a screenplay by the documentary director Maxwell Anderson (who died before the film was released), 'Caught in the Net' show the visible influence of his background in the field with its vivid depiction of the West Country in which our young heroes cross the path of a trio of miscreants engaged in the fine old tradition of salmon poaching (the film betrays is age - SLIGHT SPOILER COMING - that with all that water available none of the baddies end up in it).
As usual the kids (headed by the late Jeremy Bulloch - best known as Boba Fett in the Star Wars films - in his days as a freckle-faced tousle-haired young tyke) show a lot more gumption than the grown-ups in undoing their nefarious scheme; while young Sue displays her innate breeding by exclaiming when confronted by a terse river warden "What a horrid man!"
