Nerdly readers, the punishment I take for you, so you don’t have to knows no bounds. If you are on the fence about watching the newest film in the Home Alone franchise, I hope this review can sway you to watch something, anything(!) else than this clunker of a movie. If you still decide to watch the film, please proceed with caution.

Believe it or not, this is the sixth film in the Home Alone franchise and the first one since 2012’s Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, which I’m sure is as forgettable as it sounds. This time, youngster Max (Archie Yates) has just moved to Chicago with his mother Carol (Aisling Bea), his father Mike (Andy...

The new instalment of The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm has added Diana Rigg, Steve Pemberton and Bob Mortimer to the cast.

Harry Hill has already been confirmed to reprise his role as the batty inventor for the children's drama, set to air at Christmas.

Rigg will be playing Lady Pagwell, Pemberton will be Professor Algebrain and Mortimer will take on the role of Professor Awfulshirt.

Reprising their roles from last year are Vicki Pepperdine as Mrs Flittersnoop, Madeline Holliday as Connie, Simon Day as Colonel Dedshott, Charlie Higson as the Mayor, David Mitchell as councillor Harold Haggerstone and Sophie Thompson as Connie's mum Aggie.

Last year's Christmas special from Charlie Higson saw Norman Hunter's classic children's books adapted into a one-off 60-minute drama.

The story revolved around Mrs Flittersnoop's young science-obsessed niece Connie, who helped Hill's Professor Branestawn when a local councillor and a businessman planned to wreck the Professor's village.

The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm will return for a second episode.

Harry Hill will reprise his role as the batty inventor for the children's drama, set to air at Christmas.

Vicki Pepperdine and Simon Day are also expected to return to their roles as housekeeper Mrs Flittersnoop and Colonel Dedshott of the Catapult Cavaliers, according to Radio Times.

It is unknown whether Mitchell and Miller will reprise their original roles.

Harry Hill leads Charlie Higson-penned children's book adaptation, The Incredible Adventures Of Professor Branestawm...

If you’re unfamiliar with the Professor Branestawm books then let me bring you up to speed. Norman Hunter’s thirteen novels, written over a fifty-year period, chronicled the escapades of Professor Branestawm, a scatterbrained boffin who created absurd contraptions in his ‘inventory’, constantly trying the nerves of his ever-patient housekeeper, Mrs Flittersnoop. As a character, Professor Branestawm is like an adult William Brown (of Richmal Crompton’s Just William series): feckless and unpredictable except the good professor has the added trait of being mad as a bag of spanners. This Christmas, author, actor and screenwriter Charlie Higson has adapted Hunter’s novels into a family telefilm that boasts a terrifically starry cast – namely sealing down comedian Harry Hill as the eponymous scientist – and a plum positioning in the Christmas schedules. I’m sad...

Madeline Holliday stars alongside Harry Hill (making his acting debut as Professor Branestawm) in The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm , a family film coming to BBC One this Christmas.

She plays Connie, a science-mad schoolgirl who comes to the professor’s rescue when evil businessman Mr Bullimore (Ben Miller) and local councillor Harold Haggerstone (David Mitchell) unite to have Branestawm kicked out of the village for being a dangerous menace.

Madeline (represented by Mark Jermin Management, and a student at The Theatre Workshop in Brighton) is best known for playing Hank Zipzer's sister in the Cbbc comedy written by Henry Winkler and has also appeared in Holby City.

The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm is a hour-long drama, adapted from Norman Hunter’s classic children’s books by actor and author Charlie Higson.

Professor Branestawm is the original mad professor, an absent-minded inventor who is oblivious to the chaos...

We've had the John Lewis advert, the supermarkets are filled with Quality Street tins and Bob Geldof has gathered together a load of popstars to sing about Africa. There's no point hiding and denying it, Christmas is very nearly here.

Even if you're a festive grinch, one of the best parts of Christmas is that it means a bumper selection box of great telly. The BBC has released first look pictures today of its seasonal highlights, and here are 14 picks of what you can look forward to over the holidays.

1. Cuckoo

The BBC Three comedy, which now stars Twilight's Taylor Lautner alongside Greg Davies, will get into the festive spirit.

2. Call the Midwife

Jessica Raine may have left, but the Christmas tradition of Call the Midwife specials continues. This is part 1 of Miranda Hart taking over your screens this December.

3. Esio Trot

Another of Roald Dahl's classics gets adapted...

You'd be forgiven for getting your Harrys mixed up when looking at this picture, but it is actually Mr Hill rather than Enfield.

Harry Hill will play the title character in The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm on BBC One this Christmas.

Charlie Higson has adapted Norman Hunter's classic children's book for a one-off 60-minute drama, which follows the partially-sighted and eccentric inventor with his scientific experiments.

The comedy drama will centre around housekeeper Mrs Flittersnoop's (Vicki Pepperdine) niece Connie (Madeline Holliday), who helps the professor when a councillor (David Mitchell) and a businessman (Ben Miller) aim to destroy the village with a "giant munitions factory".

Meanwhile, Simon Day will play the professor's best friend Colonel Dedshott of the Catapult Cavaliers.

Blackadder's Miranda Richardson, Four Weddings actress Sophie Thompson, Gavin & Stacey's Adrian Scarborough and Charlie Higson himself will also appear in the drama.
