yeah everyone so I'm gonna a bit of a fun shot to talk to you about today
literally two minutes ago I just finished watching the CVB's Punto for
2011 it's on iPlayer now and this year's one is strictly Cinderella now I have
seen two cinderella pantos this year already
I was thinking a florid one really is it going to show me something that I've not
seen before already it's completely original it was absolutely fantastic
first of all I love the concept of getting all the series presenters and
actors together to do this plan to afford the kids I hadn't seen the other
one I'm sure these are louder than two years ago and I haven't really seen it
much so I wasn't really too sure of the format of what to expect haven't seen it
it's absolutely sensational it's it's set in three places shall we say and you
have the live stage one well it basically on an actual stage with an
audience of children and that's lovely to see and children's reactions and
really gives a plant or feel so you're not just watching an actual TV show you
are actually watching a Punto and then you have a few snippet of clips from
sets and then you have the ones are set in the strictly studio which is pretty
phenomenal to see you've got the tasks everybody from CBeebies dancing in the
Strictly Ballroom it's a bit of a weird concept for me personally what makes
this flawless is the recast because a lot of the CBeebies presenters and
personalities are very iconic for my career my career my career progression
and stop taking that side I am obviously not the target audience we look at the
cast in a moment gravity I'm not target audience so it needs elements more than
just a strong cast to make it great it kind of takes the traditional Cinderella
plot can it tones it down slightly you still have all the main characters you
know you have the ugly stepsisters you have the stepmother and there you have
the fairy godmother it has buttons because no canto would be a Punto
without buttons and you know you have done Dini and Prince Charming and
they're still the hard ups which is a egg yolk that I will never stop finding
funny especially when you MC who plays Barnhardt up again more on that soon and
it's basically the general story of Cinderella's father marries this woman
with these two daughters I may try and make life help Cinderella's you can't go
to the ball she wants to go to the ball the fairy godmother makes it possible
for her to go to the then the prince she leaves her slipper
and the prince has to then go and try and find her a mild person for whom that
slipper should fit is a very interesting story of course this and what makes this
a non-typical that when a typical Punto is the fact that you have so many
textual references within it fold both Strictly Come Dancing and of course
CBeebies I'll be honest the fucking it's connected with Strictly Come Dancing
it'll a little bit peculiar and not something I would have ever imagined
happening you don't see babies strictly bit odd but it does work exceptionally
well and you can see how it fits in because the Strictly Ballroom is
actually the ball that the Prince holds although that there's not a strong
emphasis on the fact that his we won't get to see much of the princess power
and so it does make it more with a normal love story because it kind of
makes it less complicated for the kids if they don't have to understand the
fact that the prince has money and well well well he's wealthy he has money of
course and but he's wealthy in many other ways as well so I do like that a
lot so we'll take a look at the cast not very few specific points I want to talk
about now this does I'm trying to think of any particular CBeebies personality
who wasn't in this play actually can't I literally think they've incorporated all
of them and many many of my favorites and sub-state to pretty much all the
characters I won't mention all of them and first of all Dandini
said played Gandhi be sensational Dandini is my favorite character from
Cinderella and said is phenomenal he is flawless and prince charming with play
by Alex Alex winters and really interesting role it's always nice to see
who plays the prince I've seen some pretty peculiar Prince's in my time I
think this character worked pretty well and Cinderella and Katrina Brian played
Cinderella she is you mean or more so as Nina in the neurons she is a fantastic
ambassador for children's TV within the Scottish sector and she's great
that's not an official title by the way and I do adore her fantastically she's
brilliant and as Cinderella couldn't have chosen a better person to play
cinders and Barnhardt off this is my favorite when Bernhard was played by
Chris Jarvis Chris has been an iconic presenter in my life for as long as I
can remember I made the decision that I wanted
career in kids TV presenting when I was about nine years old and so he and also
poi poi funnily he plays Baroness bossa nova and have both been pretty central
in my life I actually was fortunate to see them doing the show me show me
Roadshow last no vision facts I took my sister I had an excuse I have a younger
sister and I went to see them and I was I was nearly passing out halfway through
is so excited I was like it's Paulie and Chris you know proper iconic childhood
presenters for me and I I I'm hoping to go see them again next year but I think
my sister doesn't want to go back so I need to just find around room child and
take them because I want to go back and yeah you also have a Mac arena and
tumble ena which brings in the CBeebies element there because and Mac arena and
talena are played by Phil Gallagher who will probably more know as mr. maker and
I'm sure all of you know who mr. maker is and also and Justin Fletcher plays
tumbly 9 who plays mr. tumble mr. tumble is a bit of a weird character Justin
Fletcher is such a treasure for CBeebies he has done so much for that show and he
is he's just a bundle of talent he's just never ending it's absolutely
sensational and buttons we have buttons buttons bloom and then folks he you may
notice mr. bloom more so I won't miss them all as I said ok the last one I'll
mention and we have Kerry and Andy and cope now on on d-day who take on the
role of TAS and Bruce and Wow if you see Andy it's like oh dear a little bit
gorgeous and but absolutely loved them as the main presenters of beef if they
see me be strictly it worked very well and Kerry's dress was to die for
so the cast there is phenomenal as I said that that for me as an older
slightly kind of a lot oh I'm 19 slightly over the target audience age
for CVB's that element air makes it good for me at
the international references for strictly you can see there some parents
watching it will enjoy and all CBeebies is something that a lot of parents can
just put on plonk the kid in front of the television and then go and do
housework or you know but at the same time you'll find a lot
of parents because and a lot of I'm not parent obviously but a lot of parents
and all are people who perhaps babysitting kids or just in the room
with this child watching see babies will engage in that as well and I think a lot
of CVV shows not all of them I will admit but a lot of them which are kind
of geared towards a slightly older range of target audience say five to seven and
more than have elements for the adults and this one does little couples littles
jokes and things which the kids may not get and I'd love to see me with any punt
or which gives me I'm entirely suitable for the whole family not just for the
two-year-olds you know so it is sensational and the strictly judges are
actually in it as well which is great for strictly funds and and it lacks a
fantastic also do the warm back which is absolutely floored me just because like
I am a huge fan of Chris and Polly they are one of the greatest TV double arts
and they said show me show me your groovy moves and you because they do
show me show me if you've never seen show me show me it's great my favorite
show me show me a diving point that is the best line in the history of
television I love it and so there's so much going on there the story south as I
said is basically near plot of Cinderella but it incorporates CBeebies
in strictly and makes it a little bit more unique it's on for half an hour
which I have met is a long time for children to sit and watch a television
show but if they were to go and see an actual Punto it would be on for two
hours so faculty babies have managed to get this traditional Cinderella story
squashed it down into half an hour and still keep all of the raw elements in
there is pretty sensational they've done really well with that
and I also obviously thought that it is slightly longer than your usual 10-15
minutes see me be sure helps the kids start to be able to sit there for a lot
longer than what they're used to focusing on one program and engaging
with it and not losing thought which you know it's just completely sensational
I'm going to try and get hold of them the other CBeebies pantos got wrong with
previous years but i was a three Cinderella punt was I've seen within the
space of two weeks this is probably my favorite well it's all been good but
this one is pretty darn good and yeah please feel free to comment and let me
your thoughts on the they'll be strictly Cinderella if y'all
seen it go and check it out even if you think Shawn far too old for that you're
really really not it's brilliant fun and so go and check
it out let me know your thoughts let me know your favorite cast members were if
your characters and I said I love don t knee and sit with sensationalist I'm
Dini bernhard of embarrass bossa nova we're
both in sensational christmas boiler and cinders like between a button right you

other videos please let me know and I will see you all next time bye
