Shoebox Zoo - Series 2 (DVD)

Advantages: good adventure programme for kids
Disadvantages: it finnished on tv so i had to buy the dvd

...This programme was on bbc one on cbbc about 4pm... my children started watching it, only because it was on during tea time.. after the first two episodes they were saying.. when is it on again.. an while ill one day, i decided to sit with them and watch it. i was quiet suprised. i was exciting, funny in some bits, and sets the imagination running wild. Mainly its about a little girl aged 11, who has moved from abroad to the uk, and has come across a little shop and eventually recives a small shoebox, containing some little wodden animals. After playng with them for a while she awakes them, for them to tell her that she is the chosen one.. which scares her to say the least. as the programme goes on she and the little wodden live animals go on lots of adventures, trying to find a lost book that needs to be found. Along the way she... Read review

...Black Adder. Here we again follow Rowan Atkinson who is simply superb and I hope you get a sense of my enjoyment from the following review of the second series Black Adder ran for 4 series but this review is about just the second.

He and his manservant, the wonderfully dopey Baldrick set out to grab as much power as he can. If he can survive the treacherous court goings on and if he can survive Baldricks attempts to "help" him! Series 2 ----------- 1.Bells 2. Head 3. Potato 4. Money 5. Beer 6. Chains The combined writing skills of Curtis, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson is simply sensational. The comedy and witty lines come thick and fast. It is... Read review

Advantages: entertains the kids
Disadvantages: not brilliant, not that funny, more cute than funny

...I'm sure everyone will remember the hilarious sketch series done by Rown Atkinson as Mr Bean that took the nation by storm in the 80's and early 90's. However he must feel that his looks have faded and has decided to hide behind the newest comedy snippet programme for kids ' animated Mr Bean'. Really I don't mind, and i'm sure that other won't either how ugly Rowan has got, he is and always wil be, a comedy genius. The introduction of a cartoon Mr Bean intrigued me and so bought the series on DVD. I wondered whether it really was rowan attikinson doing the voice of Mr Bean, and of course 'teddy', as it really doesn't sound like him at all and it wouldnt be surprising as the odd grunt and whimper can be done by anyone. The basic and gody colours are also a let down. They make Mr Bean look tacky and very childish despite being modern... Read review
