The Tiger Who Came to Tea

It’s nice to think that the commissioners of this show would really spark some memories of the readers of the book; but they’ve certainly shot themselves in the foot when it came to bring this into the modern era. If the animation was a bit modern then it would be more surreal; but because they’ve honoured the original with animated drawings then it will raise a few tiny thumbs. But who in their right mind lets a stranger on the doorstep in for tea; let alone a giant carnivore? Children are now going to begging their parents to stock a can of tiger food the next time they are shopping; and they’ll be terrified when they’re told that there’s none available (although I suppose the smarter ones could get away with cat food). At least in a similar series that they produced the adults saw sense and ran away from the danger. This family seems to be a set of doormats.
