Crooked Wood

Miss Barwick, a seemingly dotty and eccentric old lady refuses offers up to 1million ukp to leave her rundown, crumbling home, that stands in the way of a massive new housing development in London. Ruthless property developers are cashing in on the property boom around the London Olympic site, who then find themselves faced with an elderly lady who refuses to move out from the last remaining house on their prime site. Andrew Veitch, the smooth-talking iron fist of Golden Future, cannot budge intrepid Miss Barwick whose conviction that Veitch has come to restore her rotting stairs and floorboards and mend the holes in the roof generates the soft-centered humour.
