A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

'Peter Pan Goes Wrong' was a treat for Christmas 2016, so you can imagine the BBC were keen to try and repeat the trick the following year.

Sadly they fail. From having seen some of Mischief Theatre's work on stage it largely works because that's what it is - live.

In translation some of that gets lost on TV. While the budget and calibre of the guest stars is clearly greater, the charm goes by the wayside.

It's like seeing a panto you've looked forward to all Christmas, only to find it's rubbish.

A disappointment.
