Summary Michael Parkinson narrates a 1965 documentary on an Ockenden Venture home in Yorkshire, run by Mr. and Mrs. Lovell.
Description "From the North Granada presents... from "Scene at 6.30"... The Ockenden Venture, Home for Refugee Children, Bickerton Grange, Wetherby, Yorks... with Mr. and Mrs. Lovell, Houseparents."
Sixteen children live in the Lovell's family home, twelve are from camps in Germany and four are English orphans. The children are "not simply cared for, but grafted into the family." Children play cricket in the garden. In an interview, Mr. Lovell admits "it can be rather trying... but on the one or two occasions when we are free of them it doesn't feel right." Their own children are integrated with the refugee intake; "we can never take the place of mother and father but perhaps we can help them through these difficult years." "It is more of a question of being an aunt and an uncle," says Mrs. Lovell. They live off a low income from Ockenden Venture to provide a home for the children.
"Devised and narrated by Michael Parkinson. The Ockenden Venture provides home, health and education for refugee children from Europe and Tibet."

It's one of those 'wrong Regional archive area' finds....The reason this one occurs is it was a donation from the Ockenden Venture to SSE.
I spotted this in 2009, but I forgot all about it!
There are not too many Scene at 630's left.
Nice to find some early Parky!
