Love Dame Helen! I recorded it because my kids wanted to give it a try and we watched through the entire episode just now, it was quite painful. it was slightly funny in bits and pieces but I don't know... like it was a little bit too much talking between the animals and not laugh out loud funny. Watched with a little kid & teen.
but like I always tell the kids when I read reviews on IMDb or Google, don't take random people on the Internet's word for it ~ try it out for yourself and see if you like it maybe you'll find it absolutely hilarious.
