AS a previous owner of the green Austin car used in the filming of “The Other Child”, a new TV serial about young evacuees who spent the Second World War in North Yorkshire, I was surprised and delighted to see my old pride and joy used on the set and pictured in The Northern Echo (May 18).

I can report that the car is in the same state as I bought it from Egglestone in County Durham.

I sold it for spares and low and behold, sometime later it resurfaces as a film star.

My old car certainly plays the part to perfection, but not the street lights, where the glass looks rather too intact I’m afraid.
