This week we explore two animated films that have been remade into live action with the 1986 film based on the TV series that was based on the Hasbro toys: The Transformers: The Movie and the 1989 Roald Dahl adaptation The BFG.

There is also a very special cameo from the great Adam Rees who you can find some of his writings here

NB: There were a number of audio issues in recording, they have been fixed as best as possible in the edit but some glitches still occur.

Timings for this week are:

The Transformers: The Movie (02:23)

The BFG (33:38)
