Grandpa in my Pocket
CAMBRIDGE FAMILY FILM FESTIVAL
Director: Richard Bradley, Martin Franks.
Starring: James Bolam, Jay Ruckley.
United Kingdom, 2009.
50 mins.
Episodes: HORATIO HEAVE-HO! and GRANDPA’S GREATEST ESCAPE EVER
We’re delighted to be launching the first ever Cambridge Family Film Festival with a special FREE screening of two episodes of this BAFTA-nominated CBeebies favourite. Take one Grandpa (James Bolam) and his imaginative seven-year old grandson, Jason Mason. Give Grandpa a magic shrinking cap and watch him turn into the biggest kid of the lot - when he's small he's great fun to be with, but full of mischief… GRANDPA IN MY POCKET explores the hugely important relationship between grandchildren and grandparents by turning it on its head. Jason and Grandpa's adventures are fantastical, touching and bizarre – but always hilariously funny.
We’ll be joined by the team from locally-based television production company Adastra Creative, who make the programme, and they’ll be spilling the beans on how they turn Grandpa into a pocket-sized mischief-maker! There’ll be giveaways and goodie bags galore – and every child who brings their own Grandpa (or Grandma) to the cinema will win a special prize!
