We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. On the day of the heist, he forgets the competition and, not having practised once with Florence, who condemns him to dance alone at the last minute, Ben embarrasses himself on the dance floor.

David’s books have now exceeded 100 non-consecutive weeks at children’s number one, and have been translated into 53 languages, selling more than 35 million copies worldwide. David and Tony also collaborated on the 2017 World Book Day title, BLOB, and on the blockbuster collections, The World s Worst Children 1, 2 and 3. In poking fun at their obsession with the dancing show, Walliams is also I guess poking fun at his own world (I only discovered that he is a judge on Britain’s Got Talent when I wrote a post about this book some time ago). With obvious comparisons to Roald Dahl's writings, Walliams best-selling and prize-winning books also contain riotous or gruesome humour and touch on similar social themes including crime, poverty, child neglect, greed and gluttony.

Julia McKenzie made the original, her absence was the major difference here, nobody quite fitted the bill, Maggie Steed was ok, but McKenzie was missed. But he finds poor Granny rather boring because she is your typical old lady with white hair, and false teeth, who unfortunately smells of cabbage (and cooks everything, including cake, with cabbage—there’s even a “recipe”), and only likes to play scrabble with Ben, and read endless gangsta novels. To help out, the first G is already in place and the player pieces, which feature Ben and Granny, are different colours and shaped to carry the jewels.
