Figure 1.--Roger is seen here in his page boy costume with Cinderella in "I Was a Rat". |
The BBC for Christmas 2001 released to an entertaining new serial, I Was a Rat. The series is set in the early 20th century and the main character, a boy named Roger, is convinced he was once a rat. The boy is costumed in a page boy costume. He is found dressed like this, wandering the streets and bedraggled after a heavy storm, by a lonely couple who take him in and provide him a loving home. It's really a take on Cinderella: the boy was indeed a rat, who failed to change back to his animal form at midnight.
Newcomer Calum Worthy plays Roger.
