David Walliams has certainly tapped into something with his books, he's bridging a gap that's been there for several years. The annual adaptations are always worth a look, last year's Gangster Granny topping the list of favourites for me, but this was certainly the usual mix of moving and funny.
Young Elliot Sprakes was definitely well cast as Joe. Other fine performances from Rebecca Front, John Thomson and James Fleet. Warwick Davies was brilliant, but Catherine Tate totally stole the show as Geordie Sapphire, reminded me a little of character Georgie from her sketch show, she is looking so good, what a pretty woman! Especially loved her scenes with Warwick.
Very watchable, lighthearted with a deeper meaning, last word on Mr Walliams himself, wasn't in it as much as I would have thought, but definitely enjoyed his scenes, he's definitely funny. 8/10
