It's distinctively a Judith Kerr book and distinctively British, and that is part of its strength. It's an instant classic.

Kerr, having overseen the project, had ensured everything knitted together into the cosiest of Christmas jumpers. I'll wager we will be seeing the tea-taking tiger again.

Although the film is set on a summery day, the broadcaster's Christmas Eve offering perfectly captures the nostalgia that many viewers will be looking for during the festive season.

Child actor Clara Ross was a lovely, natural Sophie. The rest of the cast, including Tamsin Greig and Benedict Cumberbatch, were understated. Even the Robbie Williams song was pleasingly restrained.

Just as in the original, the whimsical exuberance finally mutates into a wistful melancholy. This feels like an instant Christmas classic.
