BBC One is making a feature-length film adaptation of Noel Streatfeild's children's classic Ballet Shoes. This production will star Victoria Wood, Richard Griffiths, Marc Warren, and Emma Watson (Harry Potter's Hermione Granger). I'm not sure how I feel about this: on the one hand, the BBC usually does a nice job; on the other, Miss Watson's acting skills have yet to knock my socks off, and I hope she wasn't given the part just to add a little Rowling-mania glitz to the production.
