Paul King (Bunny And The Bull) brings his unique imagination and screen-writing skills to bear on Geraldine McCaughrean's Peter Pan In Scarlet, the official sequel to the J M Barrie classic. With Neverland under threat from dark forces Pan has to call on some old friends to help restore order to the magical world. Infused with the mischievous spirit of Barrie's original, this restores a distinctly British flavour to the famous story and will be produced by Stewart Mackinnon at Headline Pictures.    BBC
