Little Princess (2006)
A really nice little show.
Little Princess is a lovely wee show that kids will enjoy, probably as much as my two do. Princess seems to be your average 4-5 year old with the typical self-absorption you find in that age group. Her parents, the lovely down-to-earth king and queen (who wears her crown over a head scarf), are not afraid to say 'no' to their daughter and usually find a way to turn her odd demands into a learning experience. The show teaches without lecturing and is entertaining. It's also easy for a parent to listen to without sending them completely barmy like many other children's programmes. Julian Clary is a wonderful narrator and Jane Horrocks makes a fantastic Princess (I've found the broad accent does require some explaining to my littlies who are Aussies and not used to it).
On the whole, Little Princess seems to be a nice return to the near-innocence (and I stress 'near') of kiddies' shows from 20-odd years ago.
