Sophie and her mummy are just sitting down for tea when there's a knock at the door, and in strides a very large, very hungry tiger. He eats all the sandwiches, drinks all the milk and the tea, and then, to be fair, polishes off the tap water too. Judith Kerr's classic gets a Christmas Eve makeover from Lupus Films, with David Oyelowo as the tiger, Tamsin Greig as Mummy, Benedict Cumberbatch as Daddy and David Walliams narrating. It's every post-dinner cupboard raid in miniature, and a lovely, funny watch for families with plenty of leftovers in the fridge.
