Parents need to know this Angel for May is a British drama about a boy, Tom (Matthew Beard), who time-travels between his home in the early 2000s to the same place in the 1940s, where he meets May (Charlotte Wakefield). The two bond over their family struggles. The Second World War is mentioned and bombings are shown, and buildings are reduced to rubble. Characters were buried alive under the rubble, and others were killed in the attacks. However, no injuries or deaths are shown on screen. A child is bullied at school and others call him a “loser”.
