Bush Tucker Man:
I've just been watching this on Channel 4
Superb casting. Patrick Stewart as Ebeneezer, Richard E Grant as Bob Cratchett.
Wonderful sets
Great directing.

What a schmaltzy, cloying, last 10-15minutes.
Almost as bad as 'The Grinch' in that respect

Yes, but they spoilt a good story after that point :)

Arh the Crinch, thought he'd be more your style :lol:
Best Christmas film I've seen is Tim Burtons, Nightmare before Christmas, excellent :D

<looks up Mr Dickens' complaints address>
In all seriousness, it is a superb version of the story... Patrick Stewart is ace.
Probably the second best version ever made...... after the Muppets of course :-)
