We then transition into his childhood (with Keir Ogilvy taking over the role) and hear of the time, aged 12, when he met Lettie (Millie Hikasa) and fought a monstrous flea, accidentally unleashing the slightly strange Ursula (Charlie Brooks) on his family and – oh yes – had his heart ripped out. He meets his old neighbour, Old Mrs Hempstock (Finty Williams), a witchy looking and sounding woman (who fantastically passes him a cup of tea from nowhere, the first sign of many small – and large – acts of sleight of hand magic pulled off by the actors). An unnamed man returns home for his Father’s funeral (Trevor Fox playing both). Are you ready for a night of monsters, magic and family secrets, set to a backdrop of books and childhood wonder? The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a classic Neil Gaiman premise, with portals to other worlds and the twisting of reality.
