Vanessa Pett

She also starred in the TV film Going Home: Shebbear (1983), by writer-director John Pett (her father). This was a combination of documentary and drama, semi-autobiographical in nature. Set in the Thirties, it centered on the life of Pett's family in the North Devon village of Shebbear, which even today remains isolated from the mainstream of west-country life. She worked alongside Stefan Sillifant, a 10 year old boy from north Devon with no acting experience, who played her father as a young boy.
