    Blue Peter remake Jurassic Park

    Some films are so bad they're good. This isn't one of them, it is just plain bad - well utterly dreadful is closer to the truth. It reeks of the BBC Sunday afternoon family slot for which it was clearly pitched and as a result bears as much relation to the excitement of dino-flicks such as Jurassic Park as Scooby Doo does to the Hound of the Baskervilles. Just to give a taste, the film has men in monkey suits parading as the missing link(s) in a manner as convincing as an escaped gorilla on the Krankees, Bob Hoskins reprises his King Kong impression from the finale of Long Good Friday and the special effects make 1 Million Years BC look like a slasher movie. Not to mention the disconcerting effect of Peter Falk appearing stuffed apart from his spinning one good eye. Mix in a taming of the offensively entertaining bombast of Challenger in the book and a roughly shoe-horned Darwinian vs Creationism theme and you have an excellent excuse not to pay your licence fee as a protest.
