I grew up loving the original film. I started watching this version thinking I'm probably going to be disappointed. I'm glad to say I wasn't. Utterly charming. Great casting. Superb acting from the young cast. Simon Callow was an excellent choice as Mr Blunden. It was lovely to see a couple of the original cast with a small part. Also great to see the ending kept the same with the characters all saying goodbye to the audience. This is a great version.
