What happens

The Cabin in the Clearing was a British television series which aired in 1954 on the BBC. All five episodes are believed to be lost. It was a half-hour children's western set in Ohio in the early nineteenth century, and based on the 1890 novel of the same name written by Edward S. Ellis. Episodes were transmitted live, as was usually the case with 1954 BBC series, and don't appear to have been telerecorded. The serial ran from 16 February to 16 March 1954, but a remake - which included some members of the original cast, such as Ann Hanslip, Derek Aylward and Ewen Solon - was shown between 14 January to 1 February 1959.
