Shannara
Pp wanted to watch The Shannara Chronicles.
"It'll be terrible!" I warned him.
"It might be good!" he said.
The look of dawning horror on his face as we watched the first fifteen minutes was a thing of beauty, but now things have pretty much dissolved into helpless giggling.
Pp's conclusion: There should be more lines like: "Are there any elven traditions you respect?" "Only the ones with parties." Or "I was expecting something more woodsy".
And characters named after minor African countries.
My conclusion: MAKE IT GO AWAY! THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
I think the very worst bit for me was the Elventhrone of Obviously Moulded Plastic, surrounded by garden centre silk plants. You feel that there should be an overpriced tea-room and a shelf of new age music just around the corner.
