And marvelling at the filming technique for tall baddie and little rats. It’s like a proto version of what Lord of the Rings films did many years later with the hobbits and Gandalf etc.

Continuing our latest annual #BoxOfDelights rewatch with episode 2. Which features marvellous Scottish snow, scrobbling, a car-aeroplane, the Bloodhound of the Law, and the programme’s first use of #ThePurplePim. One of my favourite episodes of the series. https://cultbox.co.uk/features/rewind/the-box-of-delights-episode-2-review
