A young boy goes to stay with his granny every Friday night while his parents go out ballroom dancing. Though bored at the prospect, he soon finds out that she is really an international jewel thief with a string of successful robberies behind her...except for The Big One.
This is aimed squarely at children but is just as enjoyable for adults too, doing so without filling it with 'over their heads' lines as beloved of digital cartoons and that takes warmth away. The cast of well-known actors and acting comedians play it well and avoid being there as 'celebs' or 'star turns'. Miranda Hart is particularly impressive, playing a character far away from her previous styles. All in all, a strong story and cracking fun.
