See How They Run is an Australian-British children's television series co-produced by and aired on the BBC and ABC in 1999. Based on the children's novel of the same name by David McRobbie,[1] it is centred on the Cassidy family who are placed in a Witness Protection programme, after the father agreed to give evidence in a trial against some gangsters.
