RE: The Box of Delights
I remember watching the BBC series when it first aired in 1984 and found it to be a classic and the one programme that I will forever remember.I got hold of the DVD of it only the other year and always watch it on the approach to christmas and then it goes away until the following year. If Mike Newell can do the same justice to the story that the BBC did a whole new group of children will be able to call this film a classic and will have the same fond memories of it that I had of the BBC version More Posted by billy103 at 00:34, 02 December 2009 | Report This Post
