The Tiger Who Came To Tea...

[Elderflower14]

Now watching with ds2 and my Mum... Absolutely loving it.... I never read it to ds2 who's 23 now.... He says it was read to him at school...Loving the Robbie Williams song.
What a lovely tribute to Judith Kerr...

I loved it!

@daisypond l was the same DC was v upset at the poor bear being run away from!

Wonderful - so glad they didn’t try to update it and the padding out of the story to bring it to a reasonable length wasn’t intrusive. And the personality of the tiger was beautifully caught.

Even Robbie Williams didn’t annoy me.

Excellent production.

I thought it was lovely. I felt the tiger was portrayed as scarier than I imagined when reading the book! We all have different perceptions of course.

Also love a bit of Robbie Williams!

Love the book but found the adaptation really boring.

I didn't find the tiger was portrayed as too growly or scary. I mean he is a tiger after all, and looked very much like the drawings.

For anybody who missed it its on again tomorrow at 1.50 on Channel 4

He was scarier in the tv programme for sure. I was quite taken aback with his growling! But loved it all the same :)

It was beautifully done, and utterly charming. I loved the simple background with a bit of set when needed.

I preferred it to the Julia Donaldsons which I tend to find a bit slow and drawn out, losing the rhyme between lines as they're too stretched.

It's my almost 2 yr old's favourite book. He was glued to the tv. I don't think he could quite believe that it was brought to life on the tv. I loved it. I think the book can be seen as a little sexist but the show was less so.

I'm glad it was good. I didn't watch it after the awful Bear Hunt animation.
Will watch it on catch up.

I missed the narrator saying all the words. No one said the bit about all the street lamps being lit and all the cars with their lights on! Were we all supposed to be saying it ourselves

Not even ruined by Robbie Williams and David Walliams which is saying something.

We all loved it 😍🐯🐯🐯

It was one of my most favourite books as a child.

I didn’t love it. It was ok.

Dd6 loved it and chuckled all the way through. She doesn't engage much in tv so it must have been good. Still think the tiger is a prick and v rude though as I did with the book 😆

Did he still drink ALL daddy’s beer? That was the most outrageous part of the book lol

I was enjoying it but my 3 year old asked to turn it off as the river was scaring him

Tiger*!

Loved it here. Especially the tiger's teeth!

Watched it with my parents and my older siblings. All of us remember definitely having the book and having it read to us quite regularly but no one could remember the story. Is it just the tiger comes round, eats everything and makes a mess?

I really loved this. I sometimes find the Julia Donaldson BBC adaptations a bit overlong and drawn-out but this was just fantastic.

On the third viewing my DC were jiving about to the Robbie song in the middle.

loved it ... been reading it for 16 years to various children.
thought the gift was portayed as scarier than i imagined.
loved the animation and bright colours

Loved the book and the tv version.

Was it Robbie?

Dd loved it. I much preferred the book which I read to all of my children, but it was still lovely and heartwarming.

I too absol loved it - two adults sitting with me - I even had a lil tear in my eye when I found out he wasn't ever coming back !
