Right from the start you know they didn't have much money to spend on this production.
There is a 'horse riding' scene that looks like something from a 1930s comedy.
The father is wearing a wig straight out of the dressing up box, yet the show won an Emmy for outstanding makeup and hairstyling!
The mother has an 'American' accent that changes often, sometimes in the middle of a sentence. I expect more from Caroline Katz even if the budget didn't include money for a voice coach. We will never be able to mock Dick van Dyke's 'cockney' accent again!
BYUtv part funded this so it will have been shown in America, I assume it was re-dubbed.
On the plus side Lizzy Connelly has fun playing 'Moppy' Stilton, her description of her 'charity' work in Africa is hilarious and maybe rather too close to the truth.
Overall it passed the time and the whole family can watch it but it should have been much better.
