I was just eleven when this came out but this story of a smart working class girl resisting her parents' desire for her to get a job, marry and settle down, aiming instead for university, stuck with me. Kirsty Miller was great as the feisty Maggie. And the theme tune by BA Robertson was extremely catchy. I still find myself occasionally singing 'Maggie won't be a teenage bride/ Maggie against the tide/ she accepts the adversity/ she always knew she could/ To attend university/ and so far its so good'!
A great supporting cast too, especially Michael Sheard and Mary Riggans playing her loving parents who are somewhat perplexed by their daughter's untraditional ambitions.
