Customer Reviews

Coldchester, north of the northlands
Hey Robbie ...

Like Christmas itself this has become a feature in our household, with my 10 and 4 years olds unable to get enough of Robbie, Santa (whose a fashion victim, and the other brilliantly created characters. I personally like the Des Lynham / Alan Hansen impressions as they cover the 'Reindeer games' - sponsored by Hay. Its also written on two levels (for kids and adults) so the puns can be enjoyed by oldies and the young ones.

We watch it all year round and my advice would be to just buy it, watch it and enjoy - you pick up different things each time you watch it. The (not so) cameo from Robbie Williams is fun aswell.

Its great
if you missed this fantastic series (granted only 2 episodes) on tv, now is your chance to make amends. Its voiced by many famous actors, among the bunch Bubbles from Ab Fab, and Alistair McGowan. The second episode is better, but the first is still a gem.
