BBC Four is quietly developing a nice line in doing period adaptations for about £1.50. Here they’ve managed to get the essence of Saki’s sly, subversive short stories with nothing more than stylised colour schemes, drawings of pigs and really terrifying child actors. Not suitable for children – unless you want to turn them into polecat-worshipping aunt-killers, that is.
