Unknown to her and her faithful friend Kit (Chris Fairbank), her grandfather has a ruinous gambling addiction which has left them all but penniless.To feed his addiction, Nell's grandfather has been borrowing money under false pretences from Daniel Quilp (Trevor Peacock), a deformed and vicious local businessman with dishonourable intentions towards the little girl.Now Quilp has discovered where his money has gone, he wants it back - and Nell with it. Desperate and penniless, Little Nell and her grandfather take flight, wandering the countryside in a frantic bid to stay one step ahead of Quilp.

shadowy terrifying world seems to belong less to the history of the Victorian novel than to folklore fairy tale or myth. The sorrows of Nell and her grandfather are offset by Dickens's creation of a dazzling contemporary world inhabited by some of his most brilliantly drawn characters-the eloquent ne'er-do-well Dick Swiveller; the hungry maid known as the "Marchioness"; the mannish lawyer Sally Brass; Quilp's brow-beaten mother-in-law; and Quilp himself the lustful vengeful dwarf whose demonic energy makes a vivid counterpoint to Nell's purity.

, cluttering up the kitchen but the man is comic genius, and Animals is one of his best shows.
I saw the show live, and the DVD has been watched numerous times. It is still hard not to raise a smile when Ricky explains to the audience about this new theory that contradicts Darwin's version of events that he 'found in a dusty old book in the library'... 'It's called the bible.. '.. 'And it's called The Gospel - so it must be true - clue's in the name!'
The show goes on, covering everything from Sharks and Nazis - "sharks good, nazis less so.." to homosexuality in the jungle and of course the tale of Adam and Eve and how the poor snake was forced to crawl on his belly for the rest of his days - "not the worst possible punishment for a snake.." A fabulous DVD and a wonderful show. Check out the 'extras' on the DVD if you are still unconvinced ...
now known as the Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop.
Today the Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop is a thriving enterprise that still makes these Puddings to the original recipe by hand. These Puddings are now exported all over the World from here and the Visitor can buy hampers and have them posted out to an address anywhere on the Globe.
The cost of posting a Pudding is currently £5. The standard charge for delivery within the UK is a further £3.50. I recently posted a Pudding out from here to my Auntie in Scotland for her 80th Birthday present as I knew that She was very fond of these treats and I thought that it was rather an unusual Gift.
The Pudding obviously arrived at its destination safely because I received a telephone call thanking me for the present and informing me that it was "very nice."

Advantages: Amazing value for money, great DVD and impressive looking Transformers figures !!! Disadvantages: Hard to find at a reasonable price ... it's become a collectors item (which pushes up the price)
... with lots of expression, great conversion mechanics and importantly are both very durable.
The Battle Begins Set is outstanding value for money too ... considering the usual price of a single Transformers Animated Figure is around £12.99 this set retails around £19.99. And for that price you not only get two Transformers Animated Figures but you also get a DVD too !!!
The fact that the two Animated Transformers are both main characters and exclusive figures only available in this set is another massive plus point ... as is the fact that the Megatron in this set is far superior to the standard Megatron figure released as part of the Transformers Animated toy range.
Shop around too ... I recently picked this up in a toy store for just £10 ... but because of the "collectors" appeal of this product I have also seen it being sold at crazy ...
