Esio Trot

[Purple_Popple]

What a really lovely story, thoroughly enjoyed this light-hearted film.

[Cloverjo]

Yes, I enjoyed it too. Very lovely story. I'd never heard of it before.

[janbee]

Wonderful. I absolutely loved it. It was a charming, old fashioned quirky little love story. GREAT actors, GREAT acting. Excellent production.

A lovely, gentle film. Roald Dahl was a genius storyteller.

Did it explain why he called it Esiotrot and not Tortoise?

i missed the end so hope it's repeated.

The title was written backwards- just as the poem/chant was written backwards.
I assume the text was changed slightly as I think a couple of the the comments/innuendos in the story were not in Dahl's books as far as I can remember

I also enjoyed James Corden's narrating

[Georgiesmum]

I missed it. Hope it will be repeated.

Purple, I've just caught up with this. Loved it. Factor ... James Cordens narration I thought was a bit irritating & needless.
