Today we’re going to look at another film adaptation of a children’s book from ‘The World of Roald Dahl’. This time though it’s a TV movie of less fantastical and more real-life down-to-earth children’s story. This is the film, ‘Danny the Champion of the World’, starring Jeremy Irons and Robbie Coltrane.
