People REALLY need to understand that they are making mistakes , and they are professional enough NOT to laugh making it, there was great humour to it, in life, we must not always think they are meant to be doing a SERIOUS production, things are MEANT to go wrong, certainly gets you away from ALL the fake in normal tv production, where scenes are continually cut until an overpaid actor gets their words right .. WELL done, i am still trying to find out HOW to get this on DVD

It was funny had a lot of jokes i would want another film made by then x

I thought this might be good for my daughter to watch as light relief since she is studying it for her GCSE, but I have never seen such an appalling attempt to be funny. All it consisted of was awfully contrived slapstick, and badly conceived attempts to make it 'ironically' funny. What made it obscene was the hideous canned laughter which was designed to let the unintelligent audience know when they should be laughing, which was nothing more than patronising and offensive.I am surprised that such greats as Diana Rigg and Derek Jacob had anything to do with iti The only saving grace was that it was moderately short.

After last year's pratfalls with Peter Pan, the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society have been banished from the BBC, who have decided to use professional actors for their recreation of A Christmas Carol starring Derek Jacobi.However the inept amateur dramatic society ambushed the BBC production and staged their own version with Dame Diana Rigg providing the narration. She is the aunt of one of the members of the drama society.Again the production was a shambolic travesty with actors having trouble remembering the lines, props not working, stage hands walking into shot and an actor trying to sabotage the production so he can play the lead role of Scrooge.The trouble is this was dreadful (unintentionally.) I did not laugh once. It is clear that the joke has worn thin after last year's production.
