Title: 'Wind In The Willows'
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on January 01, 2007, 12:43:18

BBC 1
18:20 - 20:00
Tonight

Ought to be worth watching?
The reviews say it sticks very closely to the original Kenneth Grahame story, with all the set pieces.

Whilst not being in any way a fan of 'Little Britain', I think Matt Lucas could play Toad quite well?

Admittedly Terry Jones did a good job in the previous 'live-action' film version (plus 'his' car was based on a Land Rover chassis & mechanicals :D )

And as for Bob Hoskins??
Well, we all know he can do comedy/fun.
Remember him in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' as Eddie Valiant?
Of course, I know most of the guys out there remember it mainly for Jessica Rabbit :lol:  :lol:  :lol:


Then
There's;
"He's not The Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!!" at 21:00


Sadly, I'll be at work between 13:30 & 22:00 :(
(got video set for 'Willow's, but SWMBO is taping 'Dibley' for her parents :roll: )

Actually it's three, anyone that's watched the first series of Little Britain has seen them all and probably every one that's going to be made as well - very uninteresting :!:

No Otter either :x

The ending was a bit rubbish, unless it's a signal that they're going to make the (2nd) William Horwood sequel (which was 'Beyond')

'Willows' sequels (http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/h/william-horwood/)
