Is this one good?  Do you own it or have you seen it? or do you just know about it?

it might be the tv show not the movie?

i saw it years ago..


the american movie version of the book 'added' stuff thats not even in the book itself.. like the kidnapping sub-plot and the dolphins stuff from the 4th book.. the BBC shows (radio and tv) are a pure rendition of the book
