Swallows & Amazons: Big Six

THE BIG SIX and its companion story, COOT CLUB, are based on the celebrated Swallows and Amazons series of childrens books written by Arthur Ransome. For anyone who loves sailing and adventure, the Arthur Ransome classics stand alone. Set in the 30s, both stories take place on the lakes and waterways of England, and feature the same cast of lively characters, led by six children, who become firm friends, sharing a love of wildlife and all things nautical. The fun and adventure of a life afloat sparkle off the screen. These movies were produced on location in England by the BBC. THE BIG SIX Joe, Bill and Pete are members of the Coot Club which aims to protect wildlife. They spend most of their time on the river in their little boat, the Death and Glory. Trouble starts when they are blamed for setting boats free from their moorings. Tom Dudgeon, the doctors son, and Dick and Dot, children who are staying with Mrs. Barrable, all become detectives and search for clues to lead them to the real culprit.
