This might be my favorite part, I'm not sure, as I love them all. I do find terribly amusing that the shop keeper with the nasal voice says "sir looks fabulous!". The war bonnet of sarcasm...I wouldn't wear it either.

Oh Sessions, why are you so adorable? Who knows. Yet again, I find myself greatly enjoying the moments when he interacts with the characters. I wish Jackanory would feature him every year, he's great at it. The last part of the story, when Joe gets irritated and starts talking to the storyteller is brilliant. It reminds me of Discworld, for some reason.

The original version of Jackanory had whoever was telling the story sitting on a chair with the book, as John is at the beginning. The detail of the mountain having a name carved on it is great.
I burst out laughing at that animation of John running. It's so silly!

I'm still figuring out if I'll upload the other parts later or tomorrow morning.
I know you probably have to have some tolerance of child/fantasy stories to enjoy this...Even though I dislike the CGI - being a big fan of Studio Ghibli's movies, I think it's understandable - John's appearances and the sheer fact that he's doing all the voices makes up for it.

The voice of the baron is very similar to a voice John used to tell an anecdote on QI, though I can't place what it was about. I love when he appears on screen and interacts with the characters. When the baron is talking to Randalph, watch his facial expressions.

the once sober jack, the morning after, telling a story in which every sentence contained the words 'philosophy' or 'sociology'. wtf indeed. he's the one in jimmy's chicken costume's head.
In a land far far away called America there lived a man called Geoffrey Moore and he wrote a book about a chasm. This is a brief taster of what the book's about.

Here's the title sequence for the new series of Jackanory which looks like it will include my book (written by Geraldine McCaughrean) Fig's Giant. You can see my illustration of Gulliver and some soldiers with boiled eggs.
Intensely depressing PIF from a few years back in which a fireman relates the story of some blameless children who died horribly in a housefire, complete with bleak final twist. Probably the least funny PIF since the fireworks one from 1995 I uploaded a couple of weeks earlier.
