Omnibus

BBC One
on BBC One London

Continuing the season of classic Omnibus films made since the arts series began 25 years ago. The Brothers Grimm
This dramatised film looks at the magical world of the classic fairy tales, and at the lives of the strange brothers who helped to preserve them. Reconstructions from the original stories reveal the extra measures adopted when the Prince's kiss failed to wake Sleeping Beauty; and why Cinderella's slipper was actually made of fur.
