The Pale Horse (2020)
I love Rufus Sewell but even he couldn't save this tripe
The Pale Horse is one of my favourite Agatha Christie books. And I am a huge fan of Rufus Sewell. But it was with mounting horror that I watched this show butcher a fabulous book with a new stupid story and I just really felt for Rufus having to make sense of it all. Utter rubbish. Would someone please ask Sarah Phelps to stop "tweaking" Agatha Christie's work and just do something original so I can ignore that.
The Upside Down Show (2006)
An absolutely delightful, imaginative show for the toddler set and their parents
My four year old daughter absolutely loves this show. Her forty something mother also loves this show. With its interactive remote control and the total silliness of the show, well it's just magic. I've seen the Umbilical Brothers live and their use of mime and film is very clever and very funny, so I was intrigued when I saw that were starring in a show for preschoolers. The great thing about it is that it doesn't talk down to kids and the hummer is intelligent as well as being completely off the wall at times. My daughter especially loves David and Shane and the schmuzzies. I think the beauty of the show is that you don't know what is going to happen next. Despite it being primarily targeted for preschoolers, there is lots of subversive hummer so that parents watching will enjoy it as well. Absolutely recommended.
