A look at children, childhood and the Christmas Season
With Alan Bennett telling a Christmas story
Keith Dewhurst, playwright and journalist, visiting the Edinburgh Museum of Childhood and looking at a collection of extraordinary objects - including a medicinal powder for 'bad lads'!
Eric Porter and Dorothy Tutin in this year's Peter Pan. For years now, since J.M. Barrie created the best boy's role any actress could hope to play, distinguished stars of film and theatre have looked forward to reincarnating his hero, Peter Pan, and his villain, Captain Hook, on the Christmas stage.
Review takes a look at how 'Soames Forsyte' becomes Hook, Dorothy Tutin learns to fly, and Barrie himself made the 'Never Never Land' from Kensington Gardens - his London home.
John Halas, cartoon-maker, and Sam Wanamaker, actor and director, talking to the young winners of the Review Children's Animated Film Competition launched earlier this year. Tonight we see the winning entries and hear how children dealt on film with the theme they were given - how they saw the future.
