The story is adapted from the Nurse Matilda books written by Christianna Brand and tells the tale of a magical nanny in the 19th century who is called upon to bring order to Mr Brown’s (Colin Firth) household of seven rather disruptive children. Other cast members of note include Angela Lansbury (Aunt Adelaide), Celia Imrie (Mrs Quickly) and Imelda Staunton (Mrs Blatherwick).
