The granny concerned isn't so much naughty as accident-prone when she cuts up the table-cloth, loses a wellie in the river, fills the sugar-bowl with salt and other like mishaps. But then that's all part of her endearing personality and, as we're reminded at the end of each of the eight episodes, 'you can't spank a naughty granny'. These entertaining situations with their lively characters are just right for sharing with children of around 6.
