Yay! Damn I'm old enough to remember
Stig of the Dump as a children's TV program - that was some years ago.

I remember the name but nothing more
so it might have been just before my time.
Stig of the Dump, I remember reading the book of it when I was young but I think I just missed the telly series. Which is a pity because it would have been brilliant.

Really? Damn, it *looked* lovely
the characters, the whole design. But I did have suspicions when I read about new characters and "new dimensions to Fox's children"..

I loved Fantastic Mr Fox
I particularly loved the diagram of his tunnels digging into the three cellars.
I might watch the film anyway, and then spend about 20 minutes reading the book...

The tunnels drawing...
Yes I used to spend ages looking at that picture.
Must buy this book again I think...
Boggis and Bunce and Bean,
One fat, one short, one lean.
These horrible crooks
So different in looks
Were none the less equally mean

we had to read Z for Zachariah at school
and watch the dodgy 1984 produced film... it was about a valley in Wales surviving a nuclear holocaust because it had its own micro climate. The lead was a teenage girl, then this bloke in a radiation suit comes in with a rifle and tries to rape her. Another one of those feel good nuclear films of the 80s, needed a soundtrack by Limahl to cheer it up really.

I was also expecting a crap.
It's good, but not perfect. Someone 'shop in a steamy heapy and it'll become brilliant.
