This is one of the finest Catherine Cookson TV adaptations yet. The story - of young Millie Forester (the Rag Nymph) is told in the classical Cookson mould. Tough, uncompromising in the way in which it portrays human relationships but tinged with humour and the beguiling charm of youth.
It's 1854 and ten year old Millie is taken in by 'Raggie Aggie' after her mother dies in a Newcastle brothel. Soon the brothel owner's attentions turn to Millie herself, giving Aggie no option but to hide her in a convent.
The spirited young Millie soon falls foul of the bigoted nuns and returns home to Aggie.
Now a beautiful young women, she is exposed again to the corrupting influences of the streets of Newcastle and, after a desolate relationship with the son of a wealthy landowner, she is abducted to the same brothel in which her mother died.
Only the intervention of Ben, Aggie's long-suffering lodger, saves her from a similar fate...
