Astonishingly, Scott’s narration breathes a different kind of new life into these evergreen tales. I learned to read with Beatrix Potter, and still have my original set. In the 1990s, Peter Rabbit and friends enjoyed yet another surge in popularity: my kids got lots of pottery gifts from the baby collection which they still treasure. Potter was a genius.

Andrew Scott deserves an Oscar for his work and Patricia Routledge’s intro was the cherry on top
