Room On The Broom is an enchanting tale of friendship and family that has been beautifully adapted from the magical picture book by the same creative team that brought Christmas cheer to BBC Christmases past with The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child. Room On The...
Did we like it? A plot so thin Bob Geldof would be inspired to write a song about it and rally the whole world to a benefit concert, characterisation so crude it makes Og the Neanderthal’s cave paintings resemble Van Gogh, dialogue so clumsy it seems to have been...
Did we like it? It's a hard life if you're dumped in a bin behind a pizza restaurant on the day you're born but, in the wonderful world of BBC1 Sunday afternoon drama, it'll be alright in the end and you'll have a shiny pink mobile phone for your birthday alongside...
Did we like it? Peter Tabern's adaptation of David Almond's spooky novel was perfect for a damp Sunday afternoon – but deserved a more prominent slot and some decent promotion. What was good about it? • We enjoyed the juxtaposition of teeth-chattering and toe-tapping...
Did we like it? Not as much as the first film, but it it's almost as gay (in both senses of the word), colourful, corny, uplifting and sweet as candy. What was good about it? • The best song was the opening number, What Time Is It? (hooray, it is summer time rather...
Did we like it? After seeing the reception the BBC reunion of Swap Shop received, some nostalgic 30-something commissioning editor at ITV made the obvious move of bringing back together the Tiswas team for one night only. So Chris Tarrant, Sally James, Lenny Henry,...

Did we like it? An enjoyable romp in the imaginative Discworld of Terry Pratchett slightly marred by being overlong. What was good about it? • Going against the grain of the tortuous nature of much of the opening episode, the characters were all quickly established...
Did we like it? A good idea ruined by an whooping studio audience getting far too excited about Space Dust and Posh Paws' roar and laughing far too readily at Noel Edmonds' attempts at humour. What was good about it? • The juxtaposition of a boring boy who collects...
Did we like it? A pleasant skip down memory lane in which the subtle skills of storytellers such as Kenneth Williams and Tony Robinson delighted, but by the end we had remembered why we rarely watched it during our childhood. What was good about it? • Kenneth Williams...
Sunday 15 January 2006 Did we like it? It would be a much poorer world if BBC1 didn't indulge us with these Sunday afternoon family dramas every now and again. They're not quite aimed at our demographic but this three-piece adaptation from Terry Pratchett's novel...

What to say if you like it? An underrated but much loved art form gets a well deserved evening to run through all the wide and varied examples of the genre and how it has delighted all ages for almost as long as film itself. What to say if you didn't like it? An...
What’s it all about? Fungus is one of the breed of subterranean bogeymen – green troll-like, wilfully filthy creatures who try to scare humans by breaking into their homes at night and dirtying the furniture. What to say if you liked it A glorious adaptation of the...
