Review |
I've only seen two or three episodes of this, in monochrome, (problems with playing SECAM!) but can report that it seems worth a look. Young Cedric has a rather shoujo pretty-boy appeal and the story, which reveals tensions between the adults as well as Cedric's good nature (he seems to be having a rather Pollyanna-ish effect on his gruff Grandfather), looks promising. There is a fair amount of humour derived from childish high jinks and the behaviour of at least one comic villain. The on-screen logo indicates that somebody recorded this from French satellite TV. |
