My World... and Welcome To It: Little girls are sugar and spice - and not always nice

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

An invitation to step into the humorous and imaginative world of James Thurber
A series based on a selection of his stories and cartoons
starring William Windom as John Monroe, Joan Hotchkis as his wife Ellen, Lisa Gerritsen as his daughter Lydia

Being a father is in itself a defeating vicissitude. How could cruel fate add the further indignity of a daughter so superior in intellect that the wretched infant can, quite unforgivably, win every game of chess? Life is like that.
