Isabelle loves watching Grandpa in my pocket, and I have decided to keep this double pack we were sent for a review as a stocking filler. This comedy drama for pre-schoolers about a boy’s everyday adventures with his mischievous Grandpa was an enormous hit with both children and adults. Grandpa In My Pocket stars James Bolam (New Tricks) and rising talent Jay Ruckley, as his Grandson, Jason Mason and is the first series to take a fun, light hearted look at the relationship between Grandparent and Grandchild. Here is one energetic Grandpa and his imaginative seven-year old Grandson. Give Grandpa a magic shrinking cap and watch him turn into the biggest kid of the lot!

Barcode: 5012106934986
RRP: £7.99

Format: 2 x DVD
Runtime: 146 Minutes approx
The Magic of Christmas
Grandpa thinks that Christmas is a magical time. Everyone agrees. Mum is even trying to write a song about the Magic of Christmas. But Great Aunt Loretta declares that all this talk of “magic” is silly. So Grandpa decides to use a bit of magic of his own to prove his point. Out comes the shrinking cap. While the family makes their usual Christmas Eve tour of Sunnysands, Grandpa puts his plans into action.
Big Elf, Little Elf
Mum is making everyone fancy dress costumes for the Sunnysands Fancy Dress party. The theme is Fairytales so Grandpa and Jason are going dressed as Big Elf and Little Elf. But there’s lots of do and Great Aunt Loretta (dressed as a fairy) decides that Mum needs some help. She invites her friend Mrs Maridadi the Dressmaker over. Mrs Maridadi pours
scorn on all Mum’s efforts and transforms Grandpa’s Shrinking Cap into an elf’s flower petal cap.

My grandson, who is three, adores Grandpa in my Pocket so much he won’t watch anything else and I have to have taped episodes on a loop to keep him entertained. He would love this dvd as it is something new for him to watch and I would love it also as I know all the other episodes virtually off by heart too. Actually, if I am being honest I do rather enjoy James Bolam and his shrinking cap in this programme and Great Aunt Loretta is brilliant! @HebeFlowers

Because my dad died 5 years ago when my eldest was 6 months and my youngest barely a twinkle in an eye – so this would be poignant, especially at Christmas time.
