Kizzy (TV series)

Kizzy is the name given to the 1976 BBC adaptation of Rumer Godden's novel The Diddakoi (a.k.a. The Gypsy Girl). It starred Vanessa Furst as the title character and was produced by Dorothea Brooking.

It is the story of an orphan traveller or Romani girl called Kizzy, who faces persecution, grief and loss in a hostile, close-knit village community. This is a moving tale of human fallibility and sorrow, but also of strength, courage and redemption.

The story has also been adapted as a BBC radio drama of the same name. This adaptation features Nisa Cole.[2]
