Whenever you see a small screen adaptation made for the big screen you immediately expect the worse!
Mrs Browns, Harry Hill, Bad education etc!
This adaptation was so much better than I expected and in all honesty the world war 2 flash backs is what made it! I read that a lot of those from the original script were rejected and all the animation added for budget reasons... Shame really as it could of been beautifully tied in without the farce nonsense.... A focus on the war and nan now, I felt invested.. perhaps not the appeal it had years ago for silliness but the audience today it would of worked.
As far as small screen big screen adaptations go this is still by far the best I've seen in recent years! (Forever fond of Kevin and Perry)
